Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for manufacturing tiling display devices face challenges such as damage to display devices due to impacts during alignment, misalignment issues, and the need for a secure space behind the wall for operators to perform fastening processes.

Innovation Solution

A mounting jig with a supporting member, jig magnets, a hinge structure, and a guard rail is used to attach and detach display devices from a wall, minimizing impacts and misalignments by securing a safety distance and allowing for easy adjustment of display device positions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a fixing mechanism is disposed on the rear surface of display devices for fastening to a wall, then the display devices can be securely attached, but a space for operators needs to be secured behind the wall part and mechanism tolerance causes misalignment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure attachmentVSAvoidspace requirement behind wall
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the conventional approach by moving the fixing mechanism from the rear surface to the front surface of the display device. The mounting jig with magnets is attached to the front surface, allowing operators to perform fastening operations from the front rather than requiring access to the rear space behind the wall.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting jig serves as an intermediary tool that bridges the display device and the wall. It includes magnets for attachment, a guard rail for positioning, and a supporting member for structural support, eliminating the need for direct rear-surface fixing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If magnets are used to attach the mounting jig to the front surface of the display device, then the operation can be performed on the front surface, but sudden attachment causes impact damage to the display device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefront surface operationVSAvoidimpact damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by introducing a guard rail between the mounting jig and the display device. The guard rail includes a first plate that contacts the display device front surface and a second plate that contacts the supporting member, creating a cushioning structure that prevents direct impact when magnets attach suddenly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The guard rail acts as an intermediary element between the mounting jig and the display device. It absorbs and distributes the impact force during attachment, preventing direct transmission of shock to the fragile display device components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of repair

If the mounting jig is separated from the display device attached to the wall, then the display device can be accessed for maintenance, but the attractive force between magnets causes the display device to be lifted or detached from the wall

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess for maintenanceVSAvoidattachment stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the magnetic attachment function from the wall-fixing function. The mounting jig with magnets is separated from the display device's rear surface magnets, allowing the mounting jig to be detached for maintenance while the display device remains securely attached to the wall through its own magnets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The guard rail serves as a mediator that maintains contact with the display device during mounting jig separation. The first plate of the guard rail remains in contact with the display device front surface, preventing the display device from being lifted or detached when the magnetic attraction is released.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution reduces damage to display devices during attachment and detachment, minimizes misalignments, and eliminates the need for a secure space behind the wall, facilitating easier installation, maintenance, and repair of tiling display devices.
