Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional fulldome display systems pose challenges during repair and maintenance, as repair workers must lie prone on the LED circuit board to access the south pole region, risking damage to the LEDs.

Innovation Solution

A framing structure with a fixed frame and a movable frame that can separate to create a working area, allowing the repair worker to access the fulldome display without lying on the LED circuit board.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the fulldome display is installed with a fixed frame structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates because repair workers must lie prone on the LED circuit board to access the south pole region

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of repair
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is divided into a fixed frame and a movable frame that can be separated. The movable frame can be detached to create access space for repair workers, while the fixed frame remains stationary to maintain structural stability during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The frame structure transitions from a completely static design to a dynamic one where the movable frame can be shifted between an assembled position (providing structural integrity) and a disassembled position (providing repair access).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If the fulldome display uses a conventional fixed frame design, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates as repair workers cannot access the repair region safely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is segmented into fixed and movable portions, allowing the movable frame to be detached for repair access while maintaining overall system simplicity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable frame acts as an intermediary element that can be introduced or removed to facilitate repair operations without requiring complex disassembly of the entire structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If repair workers lie prone on the LED circuit board to access the south pole region, then the ease of operation is improved for access, but the reliability deteriorates due to the risk of damaging LEDs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to repair regionVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the frame into fixed and movable sections, the movable frame can be detached to create sufficient working space, eliminating the need for repair workers to lie on the LED circuit board and thus preventing potential damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable frame is extracted or removed from the assembled position to create access space, allowing repair workers to safely access the south pole region without contacting the LED circuit board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A fulldome display framework with a movable assembly adapted to dispose a plurality of display screens or projection screens to constitute a fulldome display includes a fixed frame engaged with a base surface and a movable frame disposed on the base surface and being movable relative to the fixed frame between an assembling position and a disassembling position along a predetermined route. The fulldome display is constituted when the movable frame is located at the assembling position to match with the fixed frame. In this way, after an LED fulldome display structure is installed on the present invention for example, the movable frame could be pulled out relative to the fixed frame along the predetermined route when a circuit board of a part of the fulldome display requires to be repaired, providing a certain working area for a repair worker to carry out repair and maintenance.
