Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flat display technologies face challenges in easily combining multiple displays to form a large screen and changing the combining structure, which affects convenience and reliability.
Innovation Solution
The design includes a display main body with receiving holes on its lateral sides, a reinforcing member, and a combining member with an inserting and protruding portion, along with a rotating member, allowing for easy assembly and rotation of display columns to form a large multi-screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple flat displays are combined to form a large screen, then the display area is increased, but the combining structure becomes complex and difficult to change
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the combining structure into separate functional components: receiving members integrated into each display unit, and combining members that connect these receiving members. This segmentation allows each display unit to remain independent while enabling flexible combination, thereby increasing display area without proportionally increasing overall structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving members are designed with universal characteristics - they are integrated into each display unit and can receive various types of combining members. This multi-functionality allows the same receiving member structure to work with different combining configurations, enabling easy reconfiguration of display arrangements without requiring different structural components for each configuration.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple flat displays are combined to form a large screen, then the display area is increased, but the installation and reconfiguration process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the combining mechanism into receiving members (fixed in each display) and combining members (detachable connectors), the patent enables quick assembly and disassembly. Each display unit can be independently positioned and connected, significantly reducing the time required for installation and reconfiguration compared to integrated fixed structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiving members are pre-integrated into each display unit during manufacturing, so that during installation, users only need to attach the combining members and connect the displays. This preliminary preparation of the receiving members eliminates the need for on-site structural modifications, thereby reducing installation time.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed combining structure is used for multiple displays, then structural stability is improved, but flexibility in changing display arrangements is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic combining structure where the combining members can be attached and detached from the receiving members. This dynamic design allows the system to transition between stable connected states and flexible reconfiguration states, maintaining structural stability during operation while enabling easy changes in display arrangements when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The combining members act as intermediaries between the receiving members of adjacent display units. These intermediary components provide the connection function that ensures structural stability, while their detachable nature allows for easy reconfiguration. The intermediary combining members decouple the stability function from the rigidity constraint, enabling both stability and flexibility.
