Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display installation supports are heavy, making it difficult to assemble multiple display screens efficiently, and they lack the necessary strength to securely hold heavy objects, which increases labor and costs.

Innovation Solution

The use of carbon-fiber vertical frames and aluminum-alloy horizontal frames, where the carbon-fiber frames are spaced to bear forces between the aluminum-alloy frames, providing a lighter yet stronger installation support structure with precise manufacturing to ensure accurate alignment and stress distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If traditional heavy materials are used for installation support, then the support has sufficient strength to hold heavy display screens, but the weight increases making assembly difficult and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport strengthVSAvoidinstallation support weight
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The installation support uses a composite structure combining aluminum alloy horizontal frames with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) vertical frames. The aluminum alloy provides overall structural strength and support capacity, while the CFRP vertical frames contribute high strength-to-weight ratio, reducing the total weight of the installation support while maintaining sufficient load-bearing capacity for heavy display screens.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Productivity

If multiple display screens are assembled together, then the display system provides comprehensive coverage and better performance, but the complexity of installation and alignment increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay system performanceVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The installation support is designed as a modular segmented structure with standardized connection interfaces. Each support unit can be independently assembled and then connected to form larger configurations for multiple display screens. The standardized connection structures enable quick assembly and alignment, reducing installation complexity while allowing flexible expansion to accommodate multiple displays for comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the installation support is made lighter to ease assembly, then the support becomes easier to handle and install, but the strength and load-bearing capacity may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidload-bearing capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The support uses aluminum alloy for horizontal frames providing overall structural integrity and load distribution, while vertical frames are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) which offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This composite material selection enables the support to be significantly lighter than traditional solid aluminum or steel constructions while maintaining sufficient load-bearing capacity to safely support heavy display screens during installation and operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

Disclosed are an installation support (10) and a display device. The installation support includes at least two carbon-fiber vertical frames (200) and two aluminum-alloy horizontal frames (100). Each of the carbon-fiber vertical frames are spaced in sequence. One end of each carbon-fiber vertical frame is connected to one of the aluminum-alloy horizontal frames, and the other end is connected to the other aluminum-alloy horizontal frame. The aluminum-alloy material is precise in manufacturing reproduction, and can be repeatedly processed to ensure the reproduction accuracy. When the two aluminum-alloy horizontal frames of the two installation supports are installed, the two aluminum-alloy horizontal frames can be matched with each other more accurately.
