Solution Overview

Problem

The limited space on top of displays makes it difficult to accommodate multiple electronic devices, as each device requires a separate fixing frame, leading to inefficient space utilization.

Innovation Solution

A detachable or non-detachable fixing frame system integrated with lamps, allowing the frame to be positioned on the display surface, which includes a first part matching the lamp's shape and a second part that stands upright, using magnetic elements, elastic members, or fasteners for secure attachment, enabling the installation of external devices like cameras.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate fixing frames are used for each electronic device, then each device can be securely installed, but the space utilization on top of the display is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation stabilityVSAvoidspace utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple fixing frames into a single integrated structure that can support multiple electronic devices simultaneously. The fixing frame includes a base plate and multiple vertical support structures that can hold different devices (lamps, mounts, cameras) in different locations, thereby securing multiple devices while using less overall space than separate fixing frames would require.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing frame is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate various types of electronic devices through adjustable support structures and mounting interfaces. The same fixing frame structure can hold lamps, camera mounts, or other electronic devices, providing multi-functional capability that improves space utilization while maintaining secure installation for each device type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If a single location on the display is occupied by one electronic device, then that device is securely positioned, but no other devices can be installed in the same location

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice positioningVSAvoiddevice accommodation capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing frame is divided into multiple independent support structures and mounting zones, each capable of holding a separate electronic device. The base plate is segmented into different regions with independent support elements, allowing multiple devices to be positioned at different locations simultaneously while each device maintains its own secure mounting point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing frame utilizes vertical dimension by extending support structures upward from the base plate, creating multiple levels or heights for mounting devices. This vertical segmentation allows devices to be stacked or positioned at different heights in the same general area, effectively increasing the accommodation capacity without expanding the horizontal footprint on the display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
