Solution Overview

Problem

General electronic signboards are difficult to detach and inconvenient for accessory exchange, such as battery replacement, due to their fixed mounting methods.

Innovation Solution

An electronic signboard with a display device and a wall hanging device featuring detachable fitting portions, including guide grooves and strips, and a snap-fit assembly, allowing for easy detachment and reattachment, along with a cross beam for support and a fixing surface for secure mounting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fixed mounting methods (screw or double-sided tape) are used, then the electronic signboard is securely fixed to the wall, but it becomes difficult to detach and inconvenient for accessory exchange

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting securityVSAvoiddetachment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into separate components: a wall hanging device with a first fitting portion (mounting bracket) and a display device with a second fitting portion (mounting interface). This segmentation allows the display device to be securely mounted when connected, yet easily detached by separating the two fitting portions, resolving the contradiction between mounting security and detachment convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If fixed mounting methods are used, then the electronic signboard remains stable on the wall, but accessory exchange (e.g., battery replacement) becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidaccessory exchange convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the mounting system into a wall hanging device and a display device with detachable fitting portions, the display device can be easily removed from the wall for accessory maintenance while the wall hanging device remains stable and reusable. This enables convenient battery replacement while maintaining mounting stability when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If detachable fitting portions are used, then the electronic signboard can be easily detached and reattached, but the mounting security may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetachment convenienceVSAvoidmounting security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The first fitting portion (mounting bracket) and second fitting portion (mounting interface) are designed to merge into a unified, secure connection when coupled together. The fitting portions incorporate features like guide grooves, positioning structures, and snap-fit mechanisms that ensure the combined assembly achieves mounting security comparable to fixed methods, while retaining the ability to detach and reattach easily.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Device complexity

If traditional fixed mounting is used, then simple structure is maintained, but adaptability to different mounting scenarios is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidmounting surface adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The wall hanging device with its fixing surface and detachable fitting portions is designed to be universally adaptable to various mounting surfaces and scenarios. The fixing surface can be mounted on walls, doors, or other surfaces using different methods (adhesive, screws, etc.), while the detachable fitting portions allow the same wall hanging device to work with different display devices, enhancing versatility without significantly increasing structural complexity.

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