Multi-Display Gap Regulator Using Plate Springs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-display systems face challenges in easily adjusting the gap between adjacent displays, which affects display quality and installation efficiency, especially in large-scale displays where regular mass production is not desirable.
Innovation Solution
A gap regulator system comprising a first and second fixing portion, a holder, first and second plate springs, and a pressurizing switch is used to adjust the gap between adjacent displays by applying elastic forces to bring the displays closer together, minimizing the gap and improving display quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional fixed mounting methods are used for multi-display systems, then structural stability is maintained, but gap adjustment between adjacent displays becomes difficult and installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing fixed mounting structures with adjustable gap regulators that can dynamically change the gap between displays. The gap regulator includes movable components (pressurizing switch, plate springs) that allow the mounting structure to transition between different gap positions, enabling easy adjustment while maintaining structural stability during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the physical state of the mounting components. The plate springs change their elastic deformation state when pressurized, transitioning from a relaxed state (larger gap) to a compressed state (smaller gap). This allows continuous adjustment of the gap parameter without changing the overall structure.
2Manufacturing precision
If front-facing frames are used to minimize gaps between displays, then display quality improves, but manufacturing cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the gap adjustment function from the traditional front-facing frame structure. Instead of using complex frames on the front surface of displays to minimize gaps, the invention removes these frames and replaces them with rear-mounted gap regulators that achieve the same gap minimization function through elastic compression, thereby simplifying the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the gap regulator as an intermediary component between adjacent displays. This intermediary device (comprising holder, plate springs, and pressurizing switch) mediates the interaction between displays, enabling precise gap control without requiring complex front-facing frame structures on the displays themselves.
3Productivity
If manual gap adjustment methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but installation time and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-assembling the gap regulator components (holder, plate springs, pressurizing switch) into an integrated unit that can be quickly installed between displays. The pressurizing switch is pre-positioned to allow operators to immediately apply compression force upon installation, eliminating the need for complex manual adjustment procedures during the installation process.
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 gap regulator system allows for easy adjustment of the gap between displays, enhancing display quality by minimizing non-display areas and simplifying installation by eliminating the need for front-facing frames, making it more practical and cost-effective for large-scale multi-display setups.
Implementation Method 1
The first plate spring is disposed between the first side wall and the first fixing portion to provide an elastic force to the first fixing portion. The second plate spring is disposed between the second side wall and the second fixing portion to provide an elastic force to the second fixing portion.

AI summary
A gap regulator of a multi display can include a first fixing portion, a second fixing portion, a holder, a first plate spring, a second plate spring, and a pressurizing switch. The first fixing portion is fixed to a first display of the multi display. The second fixing portion is fixed to a second display of the multi display. The holder includes a ceiling portion, a first side wall, and a second side wall facing the first side wall. The holder is coupled to the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion. The first plate spring is disposed between the first side wall and the first fixing portion. The second plate spring is disposed between the second side wall and the second fixing portion. The pressurizing switch is coupled to the holder and pressurizes the first plate spring and the second plate spring to the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, respectively.
