Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge of properly attaching a panel bottom cover to a four-sided display panel at the corners due to the double curvature of the corners, leading to improper assembly and potential failure during the attachment process.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus with a panel mount and a pressing module that includes a pressing pad and bracket system, where the pressing pad applies a pressing force to the panel bottom cover at the corners, ensuring proper attachment by using a softer material for the pad and a harder bracket to facilitate secure bonding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Force

If a rigid pressing mechanism is used to attach the panel bottom cover at the corners, then the attachment force is sufficient, but the double curvature of the corners causes improper assembly and potential failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepressing forceVSAvoidattachment reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The pressing mechanism uses a pressing pad with locally optimized properties - a rigid bracket for structural support and force transmission, combined with a softer pressing pad surface that can adapt to the double curvature of the corner regions. This local differentiation allows sufficient pressing force to be applied while accommodating the complex geometry, preventing assembly failure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The pressing mechanism employs a composite structure consisting of a rigid bracket (metal framework) and a pressing pad (softer material). This composite design combines the advantages of both materials - the bracket provides structural integrity and force application, while the pressing pad conforms to the double curvature of the corners, ensuring reliable attachment without damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Area of stationary object

If the panel bottom cover is attached at the corner portions with double curvature, then complete coverage is achieved, but attachment failure occurs due to improper bonding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage areaVSAvoidattachment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The pressing pad is designed with localized properties that enable it to conform to the double curvature of the corner regions while maintaining consistent contact pressure. This local adaptation ensures precise attachment across the entire coverage area, including the challenging corner portions with complex geometry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The pressing mechanism utilizes controlled application of pressing force through the compliant pressing pad, which deforms to match the corner geometry. This parameter control (force application combined with material compliance) achieves both complete coverage and high attachment precision at the double-curvature corners.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
