Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional frame assemblies for display panels, such as those used in billboards and electronic signs, are prone to damage from external factors like vibration, requiring frequent re-manufacturing when content changes are needed, and existing solutions are either costly, complex, or difficult to assemble.

Innovation Solution

A frame assembly with a housing and connection members that include fastening brackets, support brackets, and auxiliary brackets to ensure reliable coupling between elements, allowing for easy assembly and protection against external impacts, featuring tool insert holes and notches for simplified assembly and a closed structure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional frame structures are used for display panels, then assembly is relatively simple, but the coupling force is insufficient and the structure is damaged by external impact such as vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling forceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame structure is divided into multiple separate components including a first frame, second frame, third frame, fourth frame, first support, and second support. These segmented parts are assembled together using coupling members to form the complete frame assembly, allowing for improved coupling force while maintaining manageable complexity through modular construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The coupling members are designed with predetermined coupling protrusions and coupling grooves that are pre-formed on the frame components. This preliminary preparation of coupling interfaces enables reliable assembly without requiring complex fastening operations during installation, thus improving coupling force while keeping the assembly process relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional frame structures are used, then manufacturing is straightforward, but re-manufacturing is required when content changes are needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent change capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is segmented into multiple independently replaceable components (first frame, second frame, third frame, fourth frame, first support, second support). This segmentation allows the display panel and its supporting structures to be easily disassembled and reconfigured for different content displays without requiring complete re-manufacturing of the entire frame structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The frame assembly incorporates movable and adjustable elements through the coupling mechanism, allowing the structure to be dynamically reconfigured. The coupling members with protrusions and grooves enable quick assembly and disassembly, providing adaptability for content changes while maintaining ease of manufacture through standardized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Object-affected harmful factors

If simple frame structures are used, then assembly is easy, but the structure lacks protection against external impacts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact resistanceVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling members are pre-designed with coupling protrusions and coupling grooves that are formed directly on the frame components. This preliminary preparation of coupling interfaces simplifies the assembly process, making it easy to operate, while the robust coupling mechanism provides enhanced protection against external impacts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The frame assembly uses multiple materials with different properties - the frames and supports provide structural strength and impact resistance, while the coupling members provide secure mechanical connection. This composite approach combines different material advantages to achieve both impact protection and assembly ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A frame assembly includes a display panel, a rear cover, a housing and an assembling structure. The housing includes a plurality of frames which enclose the display panel and the rear cover. Each frame has a sidewall, and a connection member which connects the frames to each other. The assembling structure is installed in the housing to provide a closed structure and is provided to ensure coupling force among the display panel, the rear cover and the housing. The assembling structure includes a fastening bracket which presses the display panel onto the frames of the housing and fastens the display panel to the frames, a support bracket which supports the rear cover, and an auxiliary bracket which assists connection between the adjacent frames.
