Curved Display Assembly With Interlocking Heat Plate and Guide Holder
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses face challenges in maintaining curvature, leading to alignment failures when components such as the back cover and guide holder are fastened, which can compromise the structural integrity and functionality.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus incorporates a heat dissipation plate with a first protrusion and a guide holder with second protrusions that interlock, providing a resilient coupling mechanism to maintain curvature and prevent alignment issues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a conventional flat heat dissipation plate and guide holder are used, then manufacturing is simple, but curvature maintenance fails and alignment precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation plate is divided into a first base and a first protrusion, while the guide holder is divided into a second base and second protrusions. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the bases provide structural support while the protrusions provide precise alignment features that maintain curvature during assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The first protrusion from the heat dissipation plate acts as an intermediary element that interfaces with the second protrusions from the guide holder. This intermediary structure mediates between the curved display panel and the guide holder, ensuring proper alignment and curvature maintenance during fastening operations.
2Strength
If components are fastened tightly to ensure structural strength, then assembly stability improves, but alignment failure increases due to curvature distortion
Solution Approach 1:
The alignment protrusions are designed with specific local geometries that concentrate alignment functions at specific locations. The first protrusion and second protrusions have tailored shapes and positions that provide localized alignment control, allowing tight fastening for structural strength while preventing overall curvature distortion that would cause alignment failure.
3Shape
If a simple flat structure is used for the heat dissipation plate and guide holder, then device complexity is low, but curvature maintenance capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation plate and guide holder are designed with curved surfaces that match the curvature of the display panel. This curvature integration allows the components to naturally maintain the curved shape during assembly, with the aligned protrusions ensuring that the curvature is preserved even when fastened tightly, without requiring complex additional support structures.
