Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If multiple large displays are mounted using traditional mounting methods, then the displays can be secured to the frame, but the installation process becomes complex and time-consuming with difficulty in achieving precise alignment and angular orientation
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable mechanisms that allow the displays to be dynamically positioned and oriented. The brackets include rotation and tilting capabilities that enable installers to adjust the displays to precise angles and orientations, transforming a static mounting problem into a dynamic adjustment process that simplifies installation while maintaining precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces specialized mounting brackets as intermediary components between the displays and the frame. These brackets serve as mediators that provide both mechanical support and adjustment capabilities, decoupling the complexity of precise alignment from the basic mounting function and enabling easier installation
2Manufacturing precision
If traditional mounting methods are used for multiple displays, then the displays can be attached to the frame, but achieving precise alignment and proper angular orientation becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting brackets are pre-configured with adjustment mechanisms and geometric features that enable precise alignment to be achieved quickly during installation. The brackets are designed beforehand to accommodate various display sizes and orientations, so that during installation, installers can simply adjust the pre-built mechanisms rather than performing complex alignment procedures from scratch
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable brackets provide dynamic positioning capabilities that allow installers to rapidly achieve precise alignment and angular orientation through simple mechanical adjustments rather than time-consuming measurement and fabrication procedures. The rotation and tilting mechanisms enable quick refinement of display positions to exact specifications
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple large displays are mounted on the frame, then the displays can be supported, but ensuring cosmetic alignment with exterior covers and preventing cosmetic gaps becomes challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates specific alignment features at critical locations where displays interface with exterior covers. The brackets include localized adjustment mechanisms and positioning features that address cosmetic alignment requirements at specific points without requiring complex overall system complexity. This allows precise cosmetic alignment to be achieved through targeted local adjustments
4Strength
If heavy displays are mounted securely to the frame, then the displays are firmly supported, but the mounting system becomes more complex and installation more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting brackets serve as intermediary components that provide both strong mechanical support for heavy displays and simplified installation interfaces. The brackets are designed to distribute the weight of heavy displays across multiple attachment points while maintaining ease of adjustment and installation through their modular design and adjustment mechanisms
