Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display structures face challenges in securely fixing and assembling display modules due to inadequate securing mechanisms, leading to potential instability and misalignment of display screens.

Innovation Solution

The proposed display device incorporates a front frame with securing rods featuring baffles, caulking strips, and grabs, along with a rear cover that rotates on a bracket, creating a receiving groove and slots for secure latching, ensuring the display module is firmly positioned and aligned within the frame.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional display structure is used with simple fixing mechanism, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of display module fixation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay module fixation reliabilityVSAvoidsecuring mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The securing rod is divided into multiple functional segments: a baffle portion for positioning, a caulking strip for sealing, and multiple grabs for securing. Each segment performs a specific function, collectively ensuring reliable display module fixation while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving groove is formed by the nested arrangement of the baffle, caulking strip, and grabs on the securing rod. The grabs are positioned on the caulking strip, which is positioned on the baffle, creating a nested structure that provides multiple securing functions within a compact design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Manufacturing precision

If simple frame structure is used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but manufacturing precision of display module alignment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay module alignment precisionVSAvoidframe structure manufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The securing rod incorporates localized structural features (baffle, caulking strip, grabs) at specific positions to achieve precise alignment and securing functions. These localized quality enhancements are concentrated only where needed for display module fixation, rather than requiring the entire frame to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The baffle on the securing rod is positioned in advance to define the receiving groove and guide the display module into correct alignment during assembly. This preliminary positioning action ensures manufacturing precision is achieved through pre-configured structural features rather than complex adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If inadequate securing mechanism is used, then device complexity is reduced, but stability of display screen positioning deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen positioning stabilityVSAvoidsecuring structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The multiple grabs on the securing rod can engage with different portions of the display module, providing adaptive securing. The structure allows for dynamic adjustment during assembly while maintaining stable positioning once assembled, ensuring display screen stability without requiring overly complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The baffle, caulking strip, and grabs are merged into a single integrated securing rod structure that performs multiple functions simultaneously: positioning, sealing, and securing. This merging provides stable display screen positioning while avoiding the need for multiple separate complex components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
