Solution Overview

Problem

The narrow bezel design of notebook computers makes them prone to damage during maintenance, leading to unnecessary scrapping of the cover attached to the bezel, resulting in waste and increased maintenance costs.

Innovation Solution

A casing assembly design where the bezel is removably connected to the cover, allowing the bezel to be detached without detaching the cover, thus preventing the cover from being scrapped when the bezel is damaged.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the bezel is fixed to the cover, then the bezel is securely attached, but the cover must be scrapped when the bezel is damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment strengthVSAvoidcover waste
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the attachment system into three separate components: the casing, the cover, and the bezel. The bezel is detachably connected to the cover through first and second detachable connections, allowing the bezel to be separated from the cover for replacement without damaging or scrapping the cover. This segmentation enables independent replacement of the bezel while preserving the cover.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of substance

If the bezel is detachably connected to the cover, then the cover can be preserved, but the attachment reliability may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecover wasteVSAvoidattachment reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple detachable connection mechanisms (first detachable connection and second detachable connection) to secure the bezel to the cover. These multiple connections work together to provide reliable attachment while maintaining the ability to detach and reattach the bezel. The combination of multiple connection points ensures the bezel remains securely attached during use but can be removed when needed for replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
