Curved Screen Assembly with Matching Support Faces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing curved display screen assemblies are prone to damage due to the formation of hollow spaces during assembly, which compromises their reliability and increases the risk of errors and inefficiencies in the assembly process.
Innovation Solution
A curved screen assembly design featuring a first supporting component with a matching arc-shaped face and a middle frame with a second supporting face, along with a detachable connecting portion and screw holes, ensures proper support and protection of the arc-shaped faces, simplifies assembly, and enhances the structural integrity by eliminating the need for additional supporting members on the middle frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional curved display screen assembly is used without additional supporting components, then the assembly process is simpler, but the curved screen forms hollow spaces and is vulnerable to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a middle frame as an intermediary component between the curved display screen and the housing. This middle frame provides structural support and eliminates hollow spaces that would otherwise make the curved screen vulnerable to damage, while maintaining a relatively simple assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent integrates the supporting function directly into the middle frame structure, combining the support function with the existing frame component. This eliminates the need for separate supporting members on each side of the middle frame, reducing assembly complexity while improving reliability.
2Reliability
If supporting structural members are provided on each side of the middle frame, then the curved screen is better supported, but assembly errors increase and assembling efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the supporting function into the middle frame itself, eliminating the need for separate supporting structural members on each side. This integration reduces the number of components and assembly steps, thereby improving assembling efficiency while maintaining reliable support for the curved screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The middle frame is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides structural support for the curved display screen, acts as a mounting platform, and integrates the supporting function that would otherwise require separate components. This multi-functionality reduces assembly complexity and improves efficiency.
3Device complexity
If the connecting portion is integrated into the supporting body, then the structure is more compact, but maintenance and repair become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the connecting portion as a separate, detachable component from the supporting body. This segmentation allows the connecting portion to be easily removed and replaced for maintenance or repair, while still maintaining a relatively compact overall structure when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs the connection between the supporting body and middle frame as detachable rather than permanent. This dynamic design allows the connecting portion to be easily assembled and disassembled for maintenance purposes, while maintaining structural integrity during normal operation.

AI summary
A curved screen assembly includes a curved display screen, a first supporting component and a middle frame. The curved display screen has a first arc-shaped face and a second arc-shaped face. The first supporting component is located between the middle frame and the first arc-shaped face, and first supporting component provided with a first supporting face. The first supporting face matches the first arc-shaped face in outline. The middle frame is provided with a second supporting face, wherein the second supporting face matches the second arc-shaped face in outline. In this application, the curved screen assembly and the terminal have a reasonable structural design and a more reliable overall structure.
