Modular Display Modules on Movable Guide Bars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses are limited in functionality as they cannot be physically separated or joined, and their screen size cannot be adjusted, restricting their usage.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with detachably mounted display modules on a frame featuring guide bars that allow horizontal movement, enabling the formation of multiple screens or a single large screen, and allowing for easy adjustment of screen size by adding or removing modules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If display modules are fixed on the frame, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple guide bars that can independently adjust their positions. Each guide bar can be moved along the frame structure, allowing the display modules to be segmented and reconfigured into different screen arrangements (single large screen, multiple smaller screens, or folded configurations) while maintaining structural stability through the guide bar mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide bars are designed to be movable rather than fixed, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of the display module positions. The guide bars can be adjusted to different positions and locked in place, providing both stability when configured and adaptability when reconfiguring, thus resolving the contradiction between fixed stability and flexible adaptability.
2Manufacturing precision
If display modules are fixed in position, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning system is segmented into multiple guide bars with standardized mounting positions. Each guide bar can be precisely manufactured with fixed mounting points, ensuring manufacturing precision, while the ability to select different guide bar positions enables easy reconfiguration of screen layouts by operators.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide bars serve as intermediary elements between the frame and display modules. They provide precise positioning when installed, ensuring manufacturing precision, but can be easily removed and repositioned along the frame, facilitating easy operator reconfiguration without requiring precise manual positioning of modules themselves.
3Strength
If the frame structure is rigid, then strength is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is segmented into multiple guide bars that can independently move along the frame structure. This segmentation allows the overall rigid frame to maintain strength while individual guide bars provide flexibility for adjusting screen size and configuration, resolving the contradiction between rigid strength and flexible adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide bars are designed with dynamic positioning capability, allowing them to be moved to different locations along the frame and locked in place. This creates a hybrid structure where the frame itself remains strong and rigid, but the positioning of display modules is flexible and adjustable, enabling screen size changes without compromising frame strength.
