Solution Overview

Problem

The existing spliced display systems require tedious and time-consuming assembly processes, which hinder mass production due to the need for drilling threaded holes and locking screws.

Innovation Solution

A spliced display system that uses clips to connect adjacent display modules, featuring a base with jaws and a pin, along with a stopper, to simplify the assembly process by engaging adjacent modules through locating holes, reducing assembly time and facilitating mass production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If screws are used to connect display modules, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembly time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the threading operation from the assembly process by using pre-formed fixture slots instead of requiring threaded holes to be drilled during assembly. This removes the time-consuming operation while maintaining connection strength through the clip mechanism that engages with the fixture slots.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces clips as intermediary connecting elements between display modules. These clips engage with fixture slots that are pre-formed on the modules, providing a strong mechanical connection without requiring the modules themselves to have threaded holes, thus simplifying the assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If threaded holes are drilled in display modules, then the connection reliability is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the connection system into two independent parts: the display modules with pre-formed fixture slots, and the separate clips that provide the threading function. This segmentation eliminates the need to drill threaded holes in the modules while maintaining connection reliability through the clip's threaded engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixture slots are pre-formed on the display modules during module manufacturing, before assembly. This preliminary action eliminates the need for drilling operations during assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity while ensuring reliable connection points are available when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, particularly to a spliced display and a display system. The spliced display includes clips and a number of display modules. The display modules can be spliced into an image display area, and adjacent two display modules can be connected by clips. By connecting adjacent two display modules by clips into the spliced display, the assembling time can be reduced, the assembling process can be simplified, and this is advantageous to mass production of products.
