Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic devices, the reduced size and limited installation space for components, particularly the main board, make it challenging to efficiently and effectively connect modules like communication antennas, speakers, and batteries without interfering with other components or causing performance deterioration due to parasitic resonance and spatial constraints.
Innovation Solution
An electrical connection device is disposed through the bezel area, using a conductive material like FPCB or coaxial cables, and grounded to a metal bracket to prevent parasitic resonance, allowing for efficient connection of components without a separate arrangement space and minimizing interference with other components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a separate electrical connection device is used to connect components spaced apart from the main board, then the components can be electrically connected, but it requires additional installation space and increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical connection device is merged with the bezel area, which is an existing structural component of the electronic device. By integrating the connection device into the bezel area, the patent eliminates the need for separate installation space and reduces overall device complexity while maintaining the ability to connect components spaced apart from the main board.
Solution Approach 2:
The bezel area serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the display assembly and simultaneously houses the electrical connection device for connecting components like antennas and speakers. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies the overall device architecture.
2Volume of moving object
If the main board size is reduced to accommodate display module, then the electronic device becomes slimmer, but the installation position of the main board is limited and component arrangement becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical connection device utilizes the bezel area, which extends in a different spatial dimension from the main board. By routing connections through the bezel area rather than requiring additional space on the main board, the patent enables component placement flexibility without increasing the main board size or overall device volume.
3Reliability
If electrical connection device is arranged separately, then component connection is achieved, but it occupies additional space and may interfere with other components
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the electrical connection device with the bezel area, the patent eliminates the need for separate arrangement space, thereby preventing interference with other components such as the display module, battery, and speaker. The connection device is integrated into an existing structural boundary that naturally isolates it from other components.
