Display Cover Removal Guide Member Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing display apparatus designs face issues when removing covers, as tools for removal can damage sound devices or get caught, leading to difficulties in movement and damage.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a guide member featuring an inclined shape and penetration grooves, allowing the tool to move smoothly and preventing damage to internal components, while maintaining a clean exterior by using a coupling structure that is not exposed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a coupling structure is used to mount the cover, then the exterior cleanliness is improved, but the tool for removal may get caught or damage internal components
Solution Approach 1:
A guide member is introduced as an intermediary component between the coupling structure and the tool for removal. The guide member includes a guide groove that directs the tool along a predetermined path, preventing the tool from contacting and damaging the sound device while still allowing the coupling structure to maintain exterior cleanliness.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide member is divided into multiple functional parts: a plate member with penetration grooves for mounting, side-surface members extending from opposite sides, and guide grooves on the side surfaces. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function - mounting, guiding, and protecting - independently.
2Shape
If a coupling structure is used to mount the cover, then the exterior cleanliness is improved, but the tool movement becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member acts as an intermediary that mediates between the coupling structure and the tool. The guide groove provides a clear movement path for the tool, making it easy to operate while preventing direct contact with internal components. The inclined side-surface members further assist tool insertion and movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The side-surface members have an inclined shape that curves toward the back surface of the main body. This curved geometry facilitates smooth tool insertion and movement along the guide groove, reducing operational difficulty while maintaining the concealed coupling structure.
3Ease of operation
If the guide member includes side-surface members with inclined shape, then the tool movement is facilitated, but the guide member complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member merges multiple functions into a single component: the plate member provides mounting surfaces with penetration grooves, the side-surface members provide guiding functions with inclined shapes, and guide grooves are integrated onto the side surfaces. This consolidation reduces the need for separate components while achieving both simplified operation and protected internal structures.

AI summary
A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a display; a main body on which the display is mounted; a cover; a mounting member configured to separably mount the main body to the mounting member; and a guide member disposed at a back surface of the main body, the guide member including a plate member and side-surface members extending from opposite side surfaces of the plate member, wherein each of the side-surface members has an inclined shape.
