Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If display units are secured on cabinet through screws, then the video wall structure is stable, but assembling and disassembling becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The video wall system is divided into independent modular units, each comprising a display unit mounted on a standalone frame. These modules can be individually assembled and disassembled without affecting other parts of the system, enabling easy reconfiguration while maintaining structural stability through standardized connection interfaces between modules
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanism between display units and frames transitions from fixed screw connections to dynamic, adjustable fastening systems. The frame structures incorporate movable components and adjustable fasteners that allow for quick assembly and disassembly while maintaining stable connections during operation, enabling the system to adapt between stable configuration and easy reconfiguration states
2Device complexity
If the number of display units is fixed in the video wall, then the structure is simple, but the video wall cannot be extended as desired
Solution Approach 1:
The frame design incorporates universal connection interfaces and standardized mounting patterns that allow the same frame structure to accommodate different numbers and configurations of display units. The adjustable fastening systems and modular design enable the video wall to be extended or reduced in size while maintaining structural integrity, providing both simplicity for basic configurations and adaptability for expanded installations
Solution Approach 2:
The video wall system transitions from a static, fixed configuration to a dynamic, reconfigurable structure. The adjustable fasteners and modular frame connections allow the system to adapt its size and configuration based on installation requirements, enabling easy extension or reduction of display units while maintaining structural stability through standardized connection mechanisms
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional video wall structures are used, then the assembly process is straightforward, but the display apparatus lacks flexibility for reconfiguration
Solution Approach 1:
The video wall is segmented into independent modular units with standardized interfaces. Each module can be manufactured and assembled using straightforward processes, yet the modular nature allows for flexible reconfiguration by simply connecting or disconnecting modules through standardized interfaces, maintaining both assembly simplicity and reconfiguration flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
The frame and mounting systems are designed with universal, standardized connection interfaces that work across all modules. This universality allows for simple, consistent assembly procedures while enabling flexible reconfiguration, as the same standardized interfaces facilitate both easy initial assembly and subsequent reconfiguration without requiring different tools or procedures

AI summary
An assembling frame for display units and a display apparatus are provided. The assembling frame comprises: two rectangular side frames disposed opposite to each other in a longitudinal direction, each of top cross beams and bottom cross beams of the two rectangular side frames being provided with at least one first fitting hole extending in a height direction, and each of front side cross beams and rear side cross beams of the two rectangular side frames being provided with at least one second fitting hole extending in the longitudinal direction; at least one front side cross beam connected between two front side vertical posts of the two rectangular side frames; at least one rear side cross beam connected between two rear side vertical posts of the two rectangular side frames; and at least one hanging member mounted to at least one of the front side cross beams for detachably connecting to a back side of the display units. A display apparatus that is arbitrarily extendable in the transverse and/or the longitudinal directions can be formed by using such an assembling frame, and thereby flexibility of application of the display apparatus is improved.
