Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face issues with the rigidity of cover assemblies covering the front surface of display panels, leading to unexpected movement or shaking, and visible gaps between the display unit and the outer frame.
Innovation Solution
A display device design incorporating a cover assembly with a bracket and plate structure, coupled to a lift assembly, which includes a body, bracket, and plate, enhancing rigidity and preventing unwanted movement while minimizing gaps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple cover assembly structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the rigidity of the cover assembly deteriorates, causing unexpected movement or shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a plate extending in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the bracket, adding a dimensional element perpendicular to the bracket's length. This cross-directional plate creates a rigid frame structure that prevents shaking and movement while maintaining overall structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The cover assembly combines the bracket and plate into a composite structural unit with enhanced rigidity. The intersection of the bracket and plate forms a rigid framework that provides stability without requiring complex mechanisms or additional support components
2Stability of the object's composition
If the cover assembly is made more rigid to prevent shaking, then the stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Rather than adding complex bracing or support mechanisms, the patent achieves rigidity by extending the plate in a direction crossing the bracket's longitudinal axis. This dimensional approach creates inherent structural stability through geometric configuration rather than additional components
Solution Approach 2:
The cover assembly is segmented into distinct functional elements (bracket for movement, plate for rigidity) that work together simply. The bracket handles the lifting motion while the plate provides structural stability, dividing functions without increasing overall complexity
3Manufacturing precision
If gaps between display unit and outer frame are reduced, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The frame structure is merged with the cover assembly through the bracket and plate configuration. The bracket extends along one side while the plate extends along the opposite side, creating an integrated framing system that maintains precision gaps without requiring separate adjustment mechanisms or additional components
