Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multi-screen display solutions require multiple external data cables, leading to a messy and inconvenient setup with poor user experience due to the need for separate connections to each display unit.

Innovation Solution

A multi-screen display device with internal wiring, where a circuit board within a clamping frame connects to display units via internal wire harnesses, reducing the need for external cable connections and improving usability by hiding and protecting the wire harnesses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate display screens are used for multi-screen display, then the display functionality is improved, but the purchase cost increases and the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-screen display functionalityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple display units with a clamping frame into an integrated assembly. The clamping frame holds multiple display screens that can be adjusted to different angles, allowing multi-screen display functionality while reducing the need for separate purchase and setup of multiple independent display devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The clamping frame serves multiple functions: it holds multiple display units, provides adjustment mechanisms for each screen, and includes an integrated circuit board for connection. This multi-functional design reduces overall system complexity compared to using separate display devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate display screens are used for multi-screen display, then the display functionality is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to additional operations required to fix the display screens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-screen display functionalityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating multiple display units into a single clamping frame assembly with unified adjustment mechanisms, the patent reduces the number of separate operations needed to set up and adjust multiple independent displays. The displays can be adjusted together as part of one assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate display screens are used for multi-screen display, then the display functionality is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to poor portability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-screen display functionalityVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple display units into a single portable assembly that can be clamped to a host device. This unified structure is much more portable than transporting and setting up multiple separate display screens, while still providing multi-screen functionality when deployed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple data cables are used to connect display units to the notebook computer, then the display functionality is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to messy wire harnesses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-screen display functionalityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple data cables and power cables into a single circuit board that connects to the host device through one unified interface. This consolidation eliminates the mess of multiple external cables while maintaining the ability to drive multiple display units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The circuit board acts as an intermediary between the host device and multiple display units. It receives data and power from the host through a single connection and distributes it to multiple displays internally, eliminating the need for multiple external cable connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

5Adaptability or versatility

If wire harnesses are provided externally for each display unit, then the connection flexibility is improved, but the object-generated harmful factors worsen due to clutter and poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection flexibilityVSAvoidclutter and poor user experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates multiple wire harnesses into internal connections within the clamping frame assembly. The circuit board provides unified data and power distribution to multiple display units without requiring external cable management, eliminating clutter while maintaining connection flexibility through internal routing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a multi-screen display device with internal wiring. The multi-screen display device comprises a clamping frame, a circuit board and at least two display units, wherein the clamping frame is configured to be fixed on a screen to be extended, the circuit board is provided inside the clamping frame and is configured to be connected to a host end of the screen to be extended, and the display units are rotatably connected to the clamping frame respectively; and the circuit board is connected to the display units through wire harnesses in the clamping frame, respectively, and the wire harnesses are configured to transmit data and electric power to the display units. When the device of the present disclosure is in use, external wire harnesses only need to be directly connected to the circuit board without being connected to the display units respectively, so that wire harnesses used externally are reduced, the messiness of the wire harnesses is reduced, the convenience of use is improved, and the user experience is improved as well. An internal wire harness plugged into the circuit board will penetrate through a through hole of a tie rod. When the clamping frame is extended, the wire harness will not be directly observed. The integrity of the entire product is improved, and the wire harness can also be effectively protected.
