Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If sub-display panels are tiled together to achieve large screen display, then display area is increased, but gaps appear between adjacent panels due to brittle nature and installation errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The installation structure employs movable parts that can be adjusted during installation to compensate for dimensional variations and alignment errors. The adjustable support legs and movable clamping mechanisms allow dynamic adaptation to ensure flush edges between adjacent sub-display panels, eliminating gaps while maintaining large display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The structure utilizes adjustable parameters such as the length of support legs and positioning of clamping components to adapt to manufacturing tolerances. By changing these parameters during installation, the system achieves precise alignment of sub-display panels without requiring extremely high manufacturing precision, thus resolving the contradiction between large display area and alignment precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If rigid frame structure is used to support sub-display panels, then structural strength is improved, but installation flexibility and adjustment capability are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidinstallation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The frame structure is segmented into fixed rigid portions that provide overall structural strength and adjustable movable portions that enable installation flexibility. The support legs and clamping mechanisms are designed as separate adjustable components that can be independently positioned, allowing the structure to maintain strength while adapting to different panel dimensions and alignment requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The installation structure combines rigid fixed elements with dynamic adjustable elements. The movable parts can be positioned and locked at different locations during installation, providing both the structural integrity of a rigid frame and the flexibility to accommodate manufacturing variations and achieve precise panel alignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If adjustable components are added to reduce gaps between panels, then alignment precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The structure replaces complex multi-component adjustment mechanisms with simpler mechanical elements such as adjustable support legs and magnetic clamping components. These simplified mechanical substitutes provide the necessary alignment precision through straightforward adjustment and self-aligning properties, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining installation flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The installation structure incorporates self-aligning features such as magnetic attraction between components and self-adjusting support mechanisms that automatically compensate for minor misalignments. These self-service features reduce the need for complex adjustment mechanisms and manual precision alignment, thereby simplifying the overall structure while achieving the desired alignment precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
