Quick Locking Piece Assembly for Single-Action Display Screen Splicing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display screen coupling blocks require multiple operation actions for locking, making it inconvenient to assemble and splice large display areas composed of numerous unit screens.
Innovation Solution
A quick locking piece featuring a shaft sleeve and rotary shaft with guide slots and positioning posts, allowing for single-action locking and unlocking by rotating the shaft sleeve, which fixes the connector to the display screen frame without rotating the rotary shaft, enabling efficient connection and disconnection of adjacent screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional locking mechanisms are used, then the locking function is achieved, but multiple separate operation actions are required making the assembly process inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the locking and clamping functions into a single integrated locking piece. The locking piece includes both a lock that engages with a lockhole and a buckle that clamps onto a clamping position, allowing both functions to be achieved through one rotation action rather than separate operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking piece utilizes dynamic motion transformation through guide slots with different orientations. The first guide slot guides linear movement for locking engagement, while the second guide slot guides rotational movement for clamping engagement. This dynamic guidance system automatically coordinates the complex multi-degree-of-freedom motion required for both locking and clamping functions during a single rotation operation.
2Reliability
If multiple separate locking actions are required, then secure locking is achieved, but the splicing process becomes complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The locking process is segmented into distinct functional components within the locking piece: a lock portion for engaging the lockhole and a buckle portion for clamping the clamping position. Each component has its own guide slot (first guide slot for linear locking motion, second guide slot for rotational clamping motion), allowing the complex locking process to be divided into manageable, automatically coordinated segments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional coupling blocks are used, then display screens can be connected, but excessive clamping or splicing actions are required
Solution Approach 1:
The locking piece implements self-service through its automatic coordination mechanism. When the connector is rotated during assembly, the guide slots automatically guide the lock and buckle through their respective motion paths without requiring the operator to manually control each component. The system serves itself by converting simple rotational input into the complex coordinated motions needed for both locking and clamping functions.
