Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multi-display systems face challenges in efficiently adjusting the gaps between adjacent displays, which affects display quality and installation efficiency, especially in large-scale installations where constant demand is not met.

Innovation Solution

A gap adjusting device comprising a body, first and second fixing parts, an adjusting part, and wires, allowing for easy adjustment of gaps between displays by rotating the adjusting part within a fastening hole, thereby controlling the tension between the fixing parts and improving display alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional multi-display systems are used without a gap adjusting device, then the structure is simple and installation is straightforward, but the gap between adjacent displays cannot be precisely adjusted, resulting in poor display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegap adjustment precisionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gap adjusting device is divided into multiple functional components: a body for mounting, first and second fixing parts for attaching to displays, an adjusting part for controlling gap size, and wires for connection. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall structural simplicity and enabling precise gap adjustment between displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If a gap adjusting device is added to multi-display systems, then display quality and alignment are improved, but the device complexity and installation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay alignmentVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adjusting part is designed to be rotatable within the fastening hole, allowing the installer to easily adjust the gap size by simple rotation without requiring complex tools or procedures. The device serves itself by maintaining the adjusted position through the interlocking mechanism of the adjusting part and fastening hole, eliminating the need for additional locking steps or complex assembly procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the adjusting part is made rotatable within the fastening hole, then gap adjustment flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegap adjustment flexibilityVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adjusting part is designed with rotational freedom within the fastening hole, transforming a static mounting structure into a dynamic adjustment mechanism. This rotational capability allows continuous gap adjustment across multiple positions while maintaining a simple cylindrical geometry that does not significantly increase manufacturing complexity or assembly difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A gap adjusting device for adjusting a gap of displays adjacent to each other of a multi-display can include a body, a first fixing part, a second fixing part, an adjusting part, a first wire and a second wire. A fastening hole is defined in the body. The first fixing part is received inside the body, and the first fixing part is fixed to a first display. The second fixing part is received inside the body, and the second fixing part is fixed to a second display adjacent to the first display. The adjusting part is configured to be received in the fastening hole to be rotated, and the adjusting part is interposed between the first fixing part and the second fixing part. The first wire is connected to the adjusting part and the first fixing part, and the second wire is connected to the adjusting part and the second fixing part.
