Adjustable Support Frame Assembly for Glass Panel Display Fit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing digital signage technologies face issues with size mismatch between glass panels and support frames due to machining errors, leading to gaps or risk of the glass panel being crushed during assembly.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a support frame with movable connection members between support bars, allowing for size adjustment to match the glass panel, eliminating gaps and crushing risks by using slide members, fastener structures, and shock-absorption bars for secure assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a fixed support frame is used with rigid connection between support bars, then the structure is simple and stable, but size mismatch occurs due to machining errors causing gaps or crushing of glass panel
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame employs movable connection members that enable dynamic adjustment of the support bars' positions. The connection member includes a movable connection portion that can slide along the support bar, allowing the frame size to be adjusted to match the glass panel dimensions, thereby resolving the size mismatch problem caused by machining errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of connection rigidity by using movable connections instead of fixed rigid connections. The movable connection member allows the distance between support bars to be varied, enabling the support frame to adapt its size to match the glass panel while maintaining structural integrity.
2Reliability
If the support frame size is adjusted to match the glass panel, then size mismatch is eliminated, but the connection structure becomes more complex with movable components
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is segmented into multiple functional components: a connection body, a movable connection portion, and a fastening portion. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, improving assembly reliability while keeping the overall structure manageable through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable connection member acts as an intermediary between the support bars and the glass panel. It provides a flexible connection that can accommodate dimensional variations, ensuring reliable assembly without requiring complex custom-fitted components for each glass panel.
3Strength
If rigid fastening is used to secure the glass panel, then the glass panel is firmly fixed, but machining errors cause gaps or crushing of the glass panel
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening structure incorporates movable connection portions that can dynamically adjust their position along the support bars. This dynamic capability allows the frame to maintain firm fixing strength while adapting to dimensional variations, preventing both gaps and crushing of the glass panel.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable connection design provides a cushioning effect by allowing controlled movement and adjustment before final fastening. This prevents excessive force from being applied to the glass panel during assembly, thereby avoiding crushing while ensuring proper fit.
