Bezel Fixing Component for Display Panel Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional notebook and tablet computers have weak structural strength between the bezel and touch panel due to complex and inconvenient assembly mechanisms, making them prone to separation under load and difficult to repair.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a bezel with engaging and wedging portions, and a fixing component with curved structures that securely attach the display panel, using adhesive components and structural engagement to enhance stability and facilitate easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the touch panel is disposed on the base before the bezel is installed, then the assembly sequence is simple, but the structural strength between the bezel and touch panel is weak
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing component is divided into multiple functional portions: a pressing portion that contacts the touch panel, an engaging portion that connects to the bezel, and a wedging portion that provides mechanical interlocking. This segmentation allows each portion to perform its specific function optimally while working together to achieve both strong structural strength and ease of assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing component utilizes curved surfaces and wedge-shaped geometries to achieve mechanical interlocking with the bezel. The curved pressing surface distributes force evenly on the touch panel, while the wedge-shaped engaging and wedging portions create friction-based mechanical locks that prevent separation under load.
2Ease of operation
If a conventional engaging mechanism is used to attach the touch panel, then the assembly is straightforward, but the assembly mechanism is complicated and inconvenient to repair
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing component is designed as a separate, removable element that can be independently attached and detached from the bezel and touch panel assembly. This extraction approach simplifies the overall assembly mechanism by isolating the fixing function into a single replaceable component, making repair convenient without affecting other parts of the device.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing component incorporates dynamic elements such as elastic portions and movable engaging features that allow for easy insertion and removal. The elastic portions provide flexibility during assembly while maintaining rigid fixation during operation, enabling straightforward assembly and disassembly without complex tools or procedures.
3Ease of manufacture
If the touch panel is attached with conventional methods, then the assembly is simple, but the touch panel may be easily separated from the bezel by overloading
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing component is pre-installed on the bezel or base before the touch panel is positioned. This preliminary action ensures that the mechanical interlocking structure is already in place, providing immediate structural support and preventing separation under load. The engaging and wedging portions are prepared in advance to receive and secure the touch panel firmly.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing component includes elastic or cushioning portions that are pre-compressed or pre-positioned to absorb and distribute external loads. This beforehand cushioning protects the touch panel-bezel connection from sudden overloads by providing a compliant interface that reduces stress concentration and prevents catastrophic separation.

AI summary
An electronic device with easy assembly function is disclosed in the present invention. The electronic device includes a bezel, a display panel and a fixing component. The bezel includes a first engaging portion and a first wedging portion, respectively disposed on different sides of the bezel. The display panel is disposed on the bezel and adjacent to the first engaging portion and the first wedging portion. The fixing component includes a body, a second engaging portion and a second wedging portion. The body presses the display panel. The second engaging portion protrudes from the body and is detachably engaged with the first engaging portion. The second wedging portion protrudes from a position of the body different from the second engaging portion, and is detachably wedged with the first wedging portion.
