Display Module Holding Frame with Integrated Rubber Wire Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display module frames have complex fastening structures that increase production costs and reduce efficiency, and the wires within these frames are prone to damage due to being unrestrained and susceptible to bending during the opening and closing of the display screen.
Innovation Solution
A display module holding frame with a support frame that includes an installation frame, two installation portions, and a rubber protective layer with a buffer portion and holding portion to securely fix the signal wire, preventing it from moving or bending, and a method for manufacturing this frame involving a molding process to form the rubber protective layer around the wiring passage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional fastening structures are used to hold the display module, then the display module can be securely mounted, but the assembly structure becomes complex and production efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fastening functions into a single integrated frame structure. The frame includes a holding rack with multiple holding slots that can simultaneously secure the display module, front cover, and rear cover, eliminating the need for separate fastening components and reducing assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure serves multiple functions: it holds the display module, provides mounting points for hinge structures, secures the front and rear covers, and incorporates wiring passages for signal wires. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate components needed.
2Reliability
If conventional fastening structures with multiple components are used, then the display module can be firmly secured, but production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple fastening functions into a single frame structure, reducing the number of separate components that need to be manufactured and assembled. This consolidation reduces production costs while maintaining secure mounting of the display module.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure is designed to be self-sufficient, with integrated holding slots, wiring passages, and mounting portions that eliminate the need for additional fastening components. This self-service design reduces both material costs and assembly complexity.
3Strength
If the display module is held by front cover and rear cover, then the structure can support the display module, but the thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a distributed support structure (front cover and rear cover holding) to a centralized support structure (frame with holding rack). By concentrating the support function in one dimension within the frame, the overall device thickness is reduced while maintaining support strength.
4Device complexity
If wires run through the pintle, bushing and coupling portion without being held, then the structure remains simple, but the wires are prone to being squeezed and bent during repetitive opening and closing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a buffer portion made of rubber material as an intermediary between the frame and the signal wire. This buffer portion absorbs movement and deformation, protecting the wire from being squeezed or bent during repetitive opening and closing operations while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The rubber buffer portion is positioned in advance within the wiring passage to provide cushioning protection for the signal wire before any damage can occur. This preemptive cushioning prevents wire deformation during normal operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution securely fixes the signal wire, preventing damage and ensuring the frame's stability, while the rubber protective layer absorbs impact, enhancing the protection and longevity of the display module.
Implementation Method 1
a buffer portion bonded between the surface of the installation frame and the display module, and a holding portion held in the wiring passage to fix the signal wire

AI summary
A display module holding frame and method of manufacturing same include the steps of: first, providing a support frame which includes an installation frame to hold a display module, two installation portions to hold two hinge structures, an installation space formed within the installation frame, a coupling space formed between the two installation portions and a wiring passage communicating with the installation space and the coupling space; next, threading a signal wire through the wiring passage; finally, forming a rubber protective layer on the surface of the support frame via an injection process. The rubber protective layer has a holding portion to fix the signal wire in the wiring passage. The display module holding frame thus formed provides a structure to securely hold the signal wire without moving freely.
