Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional spliced displays face challenges in disassembling individual displays due to angle limiting assemblies that occupy significant space, leading to difficult maintenance and unnecessary waste when damaged displays are discarded.

Innovation Solution

The spliced display incorporates an angle limiting assembly with a rotation member and linkage system that rotates parallel to the display, reducing internal space usage and facilitating easy installation, removal, and maintenance, while allowing for adjustable angles between display modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an angle limiting assembly is installed to adjust the inter-module angle between adjacent display modules, then the included angle can be controlled, but the assembly occupies significant space inside the frame and restricts the angle at which the display can be moved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinter-module angle adjustmentVSAvoidspace occupied by angle limiting assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The angle limiting assembly is repositioned from an internal configuration to an external peripheral arrangement. The rotation member is disposed on the periphery of the box, and the linkage assembly extends outward, moving the angle-limiting mechanism to a different spatial dimension (external rather than internal), thereby reducing the space occupied inside the frame while maintaining angle control functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the angle limiting assembly occupies significant space inside the frame, then the inter-module angle can be adjusted, but the disassembly process of individual displays becomes challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle adjustment capabilityVSAvoiddisplay disassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The angle limiting assembly is extracted from the internal space of the frame and repositioned to the periphery. This extraction removes the obstruction from the internal disassembly path, allowing display modules to be easily removed from the front side without interference from the angle limiting mechanism, while still maintaining the capability to adjust inter-module angles when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the angle limiting assembly is positioned internally to control inter-module angle, then angle adjustment is achieved, but the time cost for maintenance increases leading to disposal of functional displays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle controlVSAvoidmaintenance time cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By repositioning the angle limiting assembly to the periphery of the box rather than internally, the maintenance personnel can quickly access and remove display modules from the front side without having to navigate around or disassemble the angle limiting mechanism. This dimensional repositioning significantly reduces maintenance time, making it economically viable to repair rather than replace damaged displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A spliced display includes a plurality of display modules and at least one angle limiting assembly. Each display module includes a box and a display. A direction perpendicularly connected to a display side and a back side of the box is defined as a first direction. The display is detachably disposed on the display side of the box. The angle limiting assembly includes a rotation member, a linkage assembly and a connector. The rotation member is rotatably disposed on the box around a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and has a guiding portion. The linkage assembly is disposed on the rotation member, and includes a linkage portion. When the rotation member rotates, the linkage portion is guided by the guiding portion to linearly move along the second direction. The connector is connected to the linkage assembly. Each display module abuts against an adjacent display module by the connector.
