Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the display is fixed using conventional fixing solutions, then the display position stability is improved, but the ease of demounting deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay position stabilityVSAvoidease of demounting
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing apparatus employs a dynamic fixing member that can transition between a first position (inserted into the inserting hole for stable fixation) and a second position (retracted for easy removal). This dynamic positioning mechanism allows the system to adapt between stable operation and easy maintenance modes, resolving the contradiction between position stability and ease of demounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing member is divided into multiple segments or components that can move relative to each other. The fixing member includes a body portion and a fixing portion that can be separated or retracted, allowing the display to be securely held during operation but easily removed when needed for maintenance or replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the display is firmly fixed, then the stability during operation is improved, but the maintenance and replacement efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation stabilityVSAvoidmaintenance efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing member transitions between a first state (engaged with the inserting hole for reliable operation) and a second state (disengaged for quick maintenance). This dynamic state change allows the system to provide reliable operation stability when needed while enabling rapid demounting for maintenance, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and maintenance productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing apparatus is designed to be easily operable by users without requiring special tools or complex procedures. The fixing member can be manually moved between engaged and disengaged states, allowing end-users to perform maintenance or replacement operations independently and efficiently, thereby improving maintenance productivity while maintaining operation stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An apparatus for fixing a display includes a fixing frame and a positioning device. The fixing frame is defined by a plurality of surrounding side plates, a space for accommodating the display is surrounded by the side plates, and a cavity is formed within the side plate. The positioning device is provided within the cavity and includes a positioning assembly and a driving assembly. The positioning assembly includes an inserting-connecting member and a transmission mechanism, the inserting-connecting member is slidably extended into the space surrounded by the side plates, and the inserting-connecting member is connected to the transmission mechanism. The driving assembly is connected to the transmission mechanism and configured to drive, via the transmission mechanism, the inserting-connecting member to slide, so that the inserting-connecting member is inserted into or separated from an inserting hole in the display.
