Solution Overview

Problem

Existing splitters on the market typically use single or double screens with limited display angles and support structures, leading to user fatigue and restricted placement options, compromising user experience.

Innovation Solution

A three-screen splitter design featuring rotatable connections, adjustable brackets, and hidden wire connections, allowing for flexible display angles and heights, with components like rotating shafts, stretching grooves, and spring mechanisms for stability and ease of use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a 45° supporting structure is used, then the splitter structure is simple, but the display angle is limited and users get fatigued easily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay angle adjustmentVSAvoidsupporting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic supporting structure where the accessory plate can rotate relative to the main plate through a rotating shaft, allowing the display angle to be adjusted freely rather than being fixed at 45°. This dynamic adjustment mechanism resolves the contradiction by enabling users to find comfortable viewing angles while maintaining a relatively simple structural design through the use of rotational joints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed bracket structure is used, then the manufacturing is simple, but the splitter cannot be placed freely above or beside the computer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplacement flexibilityVSAvoidbracket structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket structure incorporates multiple rotating connections that allow the accessory plate and supporting plate to adjust their positions independently. This enables the splitter to be placed in various configurations (above, beside, or at different angles relative to the computer) while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through the use of standardized rotating joint components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket is divided into multiple independent segments (main plate, accessory plate, supporting plate) connected by rotating shafts. Each segment can be adjusted independently, providing placement flexibility while keeping each individual component simple in design, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If rotatable connections and adjustable brackets are added, then the display angle and height can be adjusted freely, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidbracket structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses rotating shafts to create dynamic connections between the main plate, accessory plate, and supporting plate. These rotating joints provide full adjustability for display angle and height while maintaining a relatively simple structural implementation through the use of standardized rotational mechanisms rather than complex adjustment systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A three-screen splitter includes a first screen, a second screen, a third screen, and a first bracket. The first screen is rotatably connected to one end of the second screen, the third screen is rotatably connected to the other end of the second screen, and the first bracket is connected to the second screen. The first bracket includes a main plate, an accessory plate, and a supporting plate. The main plate is fixedly connected to the second screen, one end of the accessory plate is rotatably connected to the main plate, and the other end of the accessory plate is rotatably connected to the supporting plate. The three-screen splitter can suspend freely, the display heights and angles of the screens can be adjusted, the strength and stability of the bracket are guaranteed, and the demand for freely selecting a comfortable angle is met.
