Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing bezel connection methods for displays and TVs are complex, leading to low assembly efficiency and appearance gaps, making them difficult to control and costly to produce.
Innovation Solution
A bezel connection structure featuring a lap joint between a first and second connection portion, which simplifies production and assembly, enhances connection strength, and reduces manufacturing costs by using overlapping designs and screw fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If screws are used to fix the connection between bezels, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembly complexity increases and assembly efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the connection function into the bezel structure itself by designing interlocking features (such as protrusions and grooves) that are formed as integral parts of the bezel components. This merging of the connection mechanism into the structural components eliminates the need for separate fastening elements like screws, thereby maintaining connection strength while reducing assembly complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The bezel components are designed with self-aligning and self-locking features that enable automatic positioning and securing during assembly. The interlocking structures allow the components to find their correct positions and lock themselves without requiring external fastening operations, thus improving assembly efficiency while maintaining connection integrity
2Reliability
If multiple screws are used to fix the connection piece, then the connection reliability is improved, but the production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection features are integrated directly into the molded or formed bezel components, eliminating the need for separate fastening parts. This reduces the total part count and eliminates additional fastening operations, thereby reducing production costs while maintaining connection reliability through the designed interlocking structures
Solution Approach 2:
The design eliminates the need for separate fastening components (screws, clips, etc.) by incorporating the connection function into the main structural components themselves. This discarding of auxiliary fastening parts reduces material costs, assembly time, and production complexity while maintaining adequate connection reliability
3Adaptability or versatility
If a splicing method with connection pieces is used, then the bezel assembly flexibility is improved, but the assembly efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The bezel is divided into multiple modular components that can be independently manufactured and then quickly assembled together. The segmentation allows for flexibility in design and assembly while the integrated connection features enable rapid joining of these segments without requiring complex fastening operations, thus maintaining both flexibility and assembly efficiency

AI summary
A bezel connection structure and a display. The bezel connection structure comprises a first bezel (10) and a second bezel (30). A first connection portion (20) is provided on the first bezel (10). A second connection portion (40) is provided on the second bezel (30), and the first connection portion (20) is in lap joint with the second connection portion (40). The first bezel (10) abuts against one end of the second connection portion (40). The cooperation of the bezel connection structure is simple, and production and manufacturing are easy, thereby improving a production efficiency of products, and further reducing the production and manufacturing cost of products.
