Solution Overview

Problem

Existing clamping holders for office automation partitions face difficulties in securely mounting displays due to interference during assembly and limited adjustability, leading to potential scratches and unstable clamping.

Innovation Solution

A clamping holder design featuring a body, connecting member, first clamping member, and second clamping member that allows sliding adjustment in the thickness direction, with a rail and forcing unit, including a driving screw rod, to securely clamp partitions of varying thicknesses, preventing interference and scratches.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the cross arm is slid into the U-shaped groove in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the partition wall, then assembly is simplified, but the screen is very likely scratched during assembling and it is difficult to securely clamp the screen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidscreen scratching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a forcing unit with a driving screw rod as an intermediary mechanism between the cross arm and the partition wall. This forcing unit applies controlled force during assembly to prevent direct contact and scratching between the screen and the holder components, while still enabling secure clamping of the partition wall.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The forcing unit is activated before the screen is fully mounted to pre-position the holder components and create proper clearance. By adjusting the driving screw rod in advance, the system prepares the clamping members to engage the partition wall without contacting or scratching the screen during the assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the relative meshing position of the first tooth surface and the second tooth surface is adjusted to correspond to partition walls of different thicknesses, then adaptability to different partition thicknesses is improved, but interference among the teeth occurs and assembly becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different partition thicknessesVSAvoidassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the static meshing tooth structure with a dynamic forcing unit driven by a screw rod. This allowing the clamping members to dynamically adjust their positions along the thickness direction of the partition wall without tooth interference. The screw mechanism provides continuous adjustable positioning while maintaining assembly simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent removes the problematic meshing tooth structure entirely and replaces it with the forcing unit mechanism. By extracting the interfering teeth and their complex meshing requirements, the design achieves adaptability to different partition thicknesses through the simpler screw-driven adjustment of the forcing unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If a fixed clamping structure is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate partitions of different thicknesses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidadjustability to different partition thicknesses
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism (forcing unit with driving screw rod) that allows the clamping members to move along the thickness direction. This transforms a fixed structure into an adjustable one, enabling accommodation of different partition thicknesses while adding only minimal complexity through the screw mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables change in the clamping position parameter along the thickness direction through the screw-driven forcing unit. By adjusting the position of the forcing unit, the system adapts to different partition thicknesses while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

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

Enables convenient and secure adjustment of clamping thickness, accommodating different partition thicknesses without scratching the screen, ensuring stable and flexible mounting for office automation partitions.

Implementation Method 1

The forcing unit includes a driving screw rod. The driving screw rod is idly inserted in the first clamping member and is screwed to the locking portion, and a relative position of the locking portion and the driving screw rod is adjusted through rotation of the driving screw rod.

AI summary

A clamping holder configured to arrange a display on a standing board defining a thickness direction is provided. The clamping holder includes a body, a connecting member, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member. The connecting member is disposed on the body and is connected to the display. The first clamping member is disposed on the body. When the body abuts against a side of the standing board and the second clamping member is assembled with the first clamping member, the second clamping member slides relative to the first clamping member in the thickness direction, such that the second clamping member abuts against the other side of the standing board, and the second clamping member and the body clamp the standing board together.
