Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple display screen units are spliced together to form a large-size display screen, then the display area is increased, but the connection strength between splicing units deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidconnection strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is divided into multiple support units, each corresponding to a display screen unit. Each support unit includes a support rod and a support plate, creating modular segments that can be independently adjusted and connected, thereby distributing the mechanical load and improving overall connection strength across the large-size display screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support units are designed with rotational joints that allow the support rods to rotate relative to the support plates. This dynamic capability enables the splicing units to be adjusted to different angles and positions, allowing the structure to adapt to various installation requirements and improve connection reliability under different operational conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Strength

If support frames are added to support splicing units, then connection strength is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support units are designed as universal modules that can be applied to any display screen unit in the spliced array. Each support unit includes a support rod, support plate, and rotational joint, forming a standardized component that performs multiple functions: mechanical support, angle adjustment, and connection reinforcement. This modularity reduces overall system complexity compared to custom-designed support structures for each splicing unit.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The rotational joint in each support unit provides dynamic adjustment capability, allowing the support rod to rotate relative to the support plate. This single dynamic component enables multiple functions including angle adjustment, alignment compensation, and stress distribution, thereby improving connection strength without proportionally increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If support units with rotational capability are used, then splicing reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing reliabilityVSAvoidadjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The rotational joint between the support rod and support plate provides smooth, continuous adjustment capability. The rotational mechanism allows operators to easily adjust the angle and position of each splicing unit by simply rotating the support rod, improving ease of operation while maintaining splicing reliability through the robust mechanical connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The support units enable continuous adjustment of the display angle parameter by rotating the support rod relative to the support plate. This parameter change capability allows operators to optimize the viewing angle and alignment of each splicing unit independently, improving both splicing reliability and ease of operation through simple rotational adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
