Clamping Ring Connecting Structure for Display Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The assembly and disassembly of liquid crystal display modules are labor-intensive and time-consuming due to the use of screws, leading to high production costs and inefficiencies in the production process.
Innovation Solution
A connecting structure featuring a connecting rod with a guiding groove, a base, an elastic arm, and a clamping ring that allows for quick adjustment of the opening and closing angle between the elastic arm and the connecting rod, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly through the use of a clamping ring that moves within the guiding groove to generate a force on the elastic arm.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screws are used to connect components, then the connection is reliable and stable, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting structure is divided into separate functional components: a connecting rod with guiding groove, an elastic arm, and a clamping ring. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while enabling rapid assembly through simple engagement rather than threaded fastening.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic arm provides dynamic flexibility to the connection, allowing it to accommodate slight misalignments and movements while maintaining secure connection. The elastic deformation capability enables the structure to adapt during assembly and operation, ensuring reliable connection without requiring precise manual adjustment.
2Reliability
If screws are used to connect components, then the connection is secure, but the production cost increases due to time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping ring is pre-configured with the elastic arm and connecting rod structure, allowing it to be quickly engaged with components without requiring time-consuming threading or tightening operations. The guiding groove and clamping component geometry are designed in advance to guide proper alignment during assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic arm automatically provides clamping force when the clamping ring is engaged, eliminating the need for additional fastening operations. The structure self-adjusts through elastic deformation to maintain secure connection, reducing the need for manual intervention and quality checks.
3Productivity
If a clamping ring with elastic arm is used, then assembly speed increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functions are merged into a single integrated clamping ring structure that combines the connecting rod, guiding groove, elastic arm, and clamping component into one unified element. This reduces the number of separate parts that need to be managed and assembled, offsetting the increased complexity of individual components with overall structural integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping ring structure is designed to be universally applicable for connecting different display device components. The standardized connecting rod with guiding groove and elastic arm configuration can be used across multiple assembly points and component types, reducing the need for specialized fastening solutions for each connection point.
