Detachable Flat Panel Display Base for Compact Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat panel displays with integrally formed supports and bases occupy excessive space, making wrapping and transportation inconvenient and costly due to the inability to detach the support from the base.
Innovation Solution
A flat panel display design featuring a detachable base with elastic arms and a supporting member equipped with tenons and ribs, allowing for secure engagement and easy disengagement without tools, enabling convenient wrapping and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the support and base are integrally formed, then the structural strength is improved, but the wrapping and transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support and base are divided into separate detachable components. The support includes engagement structures (tenons with ribs) that can connect to and disconnect from corresponding structures on the base (grooves and elastic arms), allowing the display device to be disassembled for convenient wrapping and transportation while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.
2Ease of operation
If the support and base are detachable, then the wrapping and transportation convenience is improved, but the structural strength deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support and base are segmented into detachable parts with sophisticated engagement mechanisms. The tenons include multiple ribs that engage with grooves on the base, and elastic arms provide resilient locking action, ensuring the connection maintains sufficient structural strength while allowing easy assembly and disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The engagement structures combine multiple functional elements (tenons, ribs, grooves, elastic arms) into an integrated connection system that simultaneously provides mechanical strength, positioning accuracy, and easy detachability, resolving the contradiction between structural integrity and convenience of assembly.
3Ease of manufacture
If the support and base are integrally formed, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the storage space efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is segmented into modular components (support and base as separate pieces) that can be manufactured independently and then assembled. This segmentation reduces the overall storage volume when disassembled while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized engagement structures.
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 detachable design reduces storage and transportation costs by allowing the flat panel display to be easily disassembled and reassembled, enhancing logistical efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
a base with at least one elastic arm. The supporting member engages with the display module, and the engaging member engages with the elastic arm to make the supporting member detachably engage with the base

AI summary
An exemplary flat panel display (2) includes a display module (20), a supporting member (30) attached to the display module, and a base (40) engaged with the supporting member. The supporting member includes engaging members (31), and the base includes elastic arms (411). The engaging members detachably engage with corresponding elastic arms whereby the supporting member is detachably engaged with the base. The base can be detached from the supporting member of the flat panel display whenever desired. Therefore once the flat panel display has been newly manufactured, it can be conveniently wrapped and transported at a reduced cost.
