Multi-Display Gap Locking Mechanism for Zero-Gap Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-display systems require significant space for installation due to the need for a large workspace to adjust gaps between display modules, making them impractical for crowded public areas.
Innovation Solution
A gap adjusting device with a locking part and fastening part, including an elastic member, that allows for easy adjustment of the gap between adjacent displays by using a rotatable fastening protrusion and uneven surface to maintain a zero-gap configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If display modules are arranged in tile form with gap adjustment capability, then display quality is improved, but installation space requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening part is rotatably coupled to the display module, allowing the gap adjusting device to be nested within the display module structure during installation. The locking part engages with the fastening part through a rotating mechanism that fits within the confined space between adjacent display modules, eliminating the need for external adjustment tools and reducing installation space requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The gap adjusting device employs a dynamic rotating fastening mechanism that transitions from a loose state during installation to a locked state after positioning. The fastening part can rotate to engage or disengage from the locking part, allowing the system to adapt between different gap configurations without requiring additional space for manual adjustment operations.
2Manufacturing precision
If a locking mechanism with elastic member is used to maintain zero-gap configuration, then display quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member automatically applies force to maintain the fastening protrusion engaged with the locking part, creating a self-sustaining zero-gap configuration. Once the displays are positioned, the elastic force continuously pushes the fastening part against the locking part, eliminating the need for external fastening mechanisms or complex locking systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member acts as an intermediary between the fastening part and locking part, providing continuous contact force to maintain the zero-gap state. This simple elastic element replaces complex mechanical fastening systems by mediating the connection through continuous pressure rather than rigid constraints.

AI summary
A gap adjusting device for adjusting the gap of displays adjacent to each other of a multi-display, is discussed. The gap adjusting device can include a locking part fastened to a first display, and having an uneven part formed thereon, a fastening part having one side end rotatably fastened to a second display adjacent to the first display, and having a fastening protrusion formed at the other side end thereof to be inserted into and fastened to the uneven part of the locking part, and an elastic member provided at the fastening part, and for applying an elastic force in order to keep a state where the fastening protrusion has been inserted into the uneven part of the locking part. According to such a configuration, it is possible to achieve the zero gap so that the gap does not occur between the displays, thereby enhancing the display quality of the multi-display.
