Display Device Cable Management via Magnetic Cover and Groove
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices with cable management systems are prone to contamination and aesthetic issues due to exposed cables and lack of effective protection against foreign substances, compromising cable reliability and appearance.
Innovation Solution
A display device featuring a stand with a cable receiving groove, a magnetic cable bracket, and a cover body with a side cover and rear cover that securely encloses the cable, utilizing through holes and inclined surfaces to gently bend and confine the cable, minimizing exposure and preventing arbitrary release, while a magnet ensures easy attachment and detachment of the cover body.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cable receiving space is open at the top and bottom for cable access, then cable installation and removal are easy, but foreign substances such as dust or water can easily enter and contaminate the cable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a cover body that acts as a protective shell enclosing the cable receiving space. The cover body includes a side cover and rear cover that can be opened or closed to access the cable, thereby protecting the cable from dust and water while still allowing easy installation and removal when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable is nested within the cable receiving groove, which is itself enclosed by the cover body. This nested structure allows the cable to be securely protected while maintaining accessibility through the opening mechanism of the cover body.
2Ease of operation
If the cable is exposed in the cable receiving space, then cable access is convenient, but the cable can be easily viewed from the outside affecting the appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The cover body serves as a protective enclosure that hides the cable from external view while maintaining accessibility. The side cover and rear cover can be opened to access the cable and closed to provide a clean, aesthetic appearance.
3Ease of manufacture
If the cable receiving groove is simple in structure, then manufacturing is easy, but the cable can be easily removed or damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The cable receiving groove is segmented into multiple functional components: the groove itself for cable placement, the side cover for lateral protection, and the rear cover for backside protection. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover body acts as a protective shell that encloses the cable receiving groove, preventing cable removal or damage while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that is easy to manufacture.
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 solution provides reliable and clean protection for cables, preventing contamination and improving the device's appearance by securely enclosing cables within the stand module, reducing the risk of damage and exposure to dust or water, and maintaining the cable's integrity through gentle bending and secure confinement.
Implementation Method 1
The stand and the cover body may be non-magnetic members, the cable bracket may be a magnetic member, and a magnet attached to the cable bracket may be coupled to the cover body.
