Power Converter Display Cover for Shielding Unlighted Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current display effect of display screens in converters is inadequate, with internal components visible and unlighted characters and images causing visual interference, leading to a suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
A power converter with a protective layer featuring a translucent area and an opaque shielding area, allowing lighted characters and images to be seen while shielding unlighted ones, enhancing the display effect and aesthetic appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a protective layer covers the entire mounting groove, then the display screen is protected, but the unlighted characters and images on the display area cause visual interference
Solution Approach 1:
The protective layer is divided into different regions with different optical properties: a translucent area corresponding to the display area that allows light transmission, and an opaque area covering other regions that blocks light. This local differentiation eliminates visual interference from unlighted areas while maintaining protection and visibility where needed.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the protective layer is made opaque, then visual interference is reduced, but lighted characters and images cannot be seen
Solution Approach 1:
The protective layer implements spatially varying optical properties with a translucent portion aligned with the display area to maintain visibility of lighted content, and an opaque portion covering other areas to reduce visual interference. This resolves the contradiction by applying different optical characteristics to different spatial regions.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution improves the display clarity by limiting visual interference from unlighted characters and images, making the lighted information stand out, and provides an elegant appearance.
Implementation Method 1
The translucent area can allow the lighted characters and images on the display area to be seen by one or more users
Implementation Method 2
the translucent area can also shield the unlighted characters and images on the display area

AI summary
A power converter may comprise converter circuitry, a housing and a display. The converter circuitry is configured to convert electrical energy. The housing may comprise a mounting groove. The display may comprise a display screen provided in the mounting groove and a protective layer covering the mounting groove. The protective layer may have a translucent area and an opaque area adjacent to the translucent area. The display screen may comprise a display area located corresponding to the translucent area, and a projection of the translucent area toward the display screen may cover the display area.
