Problem
Conventional fastening methods for display panels are either destructive to remove and reapply, time-consuming, or occupy excessive space, failing to meet the demand for thin, small, and cost-effective solutions that allow for easy installation and removal while ensuring precise positioning.
Innovation Solution
A detachable fastening element featuring an L-shaped structure with elastic pressing members and hooks that clip onto a bracing seat, allowing for easy installation and removal without additional components, and providing precise positioning through a containing portion with locating flanges.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If adhesive is used to fasten the panel to the display panel, then the panel can be protected and instruction input is enabled, but the adhesive cannot be reused and requires destructive removal which damages the display panel
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening system is segmented into separate reusable components: the locating plate with hooks and elastic pressing members that attaches to the bracing seat, and the pressing portion that attaches to the panel. This segmentation allows the fastening system to be removed and reinstalled multiple times without damage, resolving the contradiction between reliable panel protection and ease of repair.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical state and properties of the fastening mechanism from permanent adhesive bonding to reversible elastic mechanical bonding. The elastic pressing members can deform to allow panel insertion and removal, then return to their original shape to maintain secure fastening, enabling repeated use without damage.
2Strength
If a pressing plate is fastened to the edge member through a fixing element such as a bolt or rivet, then the panel can be securely fastened, but the installation and removal process takes a lot of time and the edge member occupies more space
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic pressing members provide dynamic fastening capability, allowing the locating plate to be quickly inserted and removed from the bracing seat. The elastic deformation enables rapid engagement and disengagement without the time-consuming processes of threading bolts or driving rivets, while still maintaining secure fastening during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the fastening function from complex mechanical fixtures (bolts, rivets, edge members) and implements it through simple elastic pressing members and hooks that can be quickly engaged and disengaged. This extraction simplifies the fastening mechanism and dramatically reduces installation and removal time.
3Strength
If a pressing plate is fastened to the edge member through a fixing element, then the panel can be securely fastened, but the edge member occupies more space and increases cost
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the locating plate, pressing mechanism, and fastening elements into a single integrated component that attaches directly to the existing bracing seat. This eliminates the need for separate edge members and pressing plates, reducing the overall space occupation while maintaining secure fastening strength through the elastic pressing members and hooks.
Solution Approach 2:
The locating plate serves multiple functions: it provides positioning through locating flanges, applies pressing force through elastic pressing members, and secures the assembly through hooks. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate components (edge members, pressing plates, fixing elements), reducing space occupation and cost while maintaining fastening strength.
4Reliability
If conventional fastening methods are used, then the panel can be fastened to the display panel, but the structure is complex and requires additional elements which increases cost
Solution Approach 1:
The invention combines multiple fastening functions (positioning, pressing, and securing) into a single integrated locating plate component with elastic pressing members and hooks. This merging reduces the number of separate components needed while maintaining reliable panel fastening, thereby reducing device complexity and cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The locating plate is designed as a universal component that performs multiple functions: positioning through locating flanges in the containing portion, applying continuous pressing force through elastic pressing members, and securing to the bracing seat through hooks. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for multiple separate elements, simplifying the overall structure.

AI summary
A detachable fastening element to fasten a panel on a front side of a display panel includes a pressing portion, a locating plate, two elastic pressing members, and two hooks. The pressing portion presses the panel on the front side of the display panel. The display panel is mounted onto a bracing seat. The locating plate is coupled with the pressing portion. The elastic pressing members and the hooks are located on the locating plate. Through the elastic pressing members, hooks and locating plate, the fastening element is clipped the bracing seat. Thereby the panel is fastened on the front side of the display panel. The elasticity provided from the elastic pressing members and hooks make installation and removing of the fastening element easier.
