Solution Overview

Problem

Existing splicing frame devices for display screens have unstable structures due to the alignment of splicing seams, which can lead to structural instability and require transverse connecting structures, increasing manufacturing costs and potential display defects.

Innovation Solution

The splicing frame device uses a misplaced arrangement of splicing seams between frame bodies in adjacent layers, eliminating the need for a transverse connecting structure by connecting frame bodies at the ends of seams, allowing for an integral structure with improved stability and reduced manufacturing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If splicing seams in adjacent layers are aligned, then the structure is simpler to manufacture, but the structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by deliberately misaligning splicing seams between adjacent frame layers. Instead of aligning seams vertically across layers, the invention offsets them so that splicing seams in upper layers do not correspond with those in lower layers. This asymmetric arrangement eliminates the need for transverse connecting structures while maintaining structural stability, as the load is distributed across multiple frame bodies rather than concentrated at aligned seam locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Stability of the object's composition

If transverse connecting structures are added to stabilize the structure, then the structural stability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the transverse connecting structures from the splicing frame device. By removing these complex connecting components, the invention simplifies the overall device structure while maintaining stability through the misplaced splicing seam arrangement. The solution takes out the unnecessary complexity of transverse connectors by relying on the geometric configuration of misaligned seams to provide structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Stability of the object's composition

If transverse connecting structures are used, then the structural stability improves, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes transverse connecting structures from the design, thereby eliminating the additional manufacturing costs associated with producing and installing these components. The misaligned splicing seam configuration provides structural stability without requiring extra parts, reducing both material costs and assembly complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Ease of manufacture

If splicing seams are aligned in adjacent layers, then the assembly process is simpler, but display defects such as bright and dark lines increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of assemblyVSAvoiddisplay defects
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses asymmetric misalignment of splicing seams to prevent the formation of continuous vertical lines across multiple display screens. By offsetting seams between layers, the invention breaks up the visual continuity that would otherwise create noticeable bright and dark lines, improving display uniformity while maintaining reasonable assembly simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
