Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display all-in-one machines face complexity in line structures and assembly processes due to multiple connection lines between the loudspeaker box and the display assembly, leading to increased material costs and complicated assembly procedures.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a loudspeaker box with a first opening for a connection line that extends to a second opening on the display assembly, where the connection line is connected directly without the need for an adaptor, and a connection cover plate shields both openings to simplify the line structure and facilitate seamless assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If multiple connection lines and adaptors are used to connect the loudspeaker box and display assembly, then the connection functionality is achieved, but the line structure becomes complex and material costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline structure complexityVSAvoidmaterial cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple connection lines into a single integrated connection line that extends directly from the loudspeaker box to the display assembly, eliminating the need for separate adaptors and reducing overall structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection line is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical connection, structural support, and routing guidance, replacing the need for separate adaptors and reducing material requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of manufacture

If multiple connection lines and adaptors are used to connect the loudspeaker box and display assembly, then the connection functionality is achieved, but the assembly process becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly process simplicityVSAvoidassembly procedure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple assembly steps into a single operation by using one integrated connection line that can be installed in one continuous motion, eliminating the need for separate adaptor installations and simplifying the assembly procedure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection line is pre-configured with connection terminals at both ends before assembly, allowing workers to simply connect the pre-prepared line without performing complex routing or adaptor installation steps during the assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Shape

If connection lines and adaptors are exposed, then the connection functionality is visible, but the appearance of the display device is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveappearance qualityVSAvoidline structure visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the connection line from the visible exterior surface and routes it through an enclosed space within the display device, separating the functional element from the aesthetic surface to maintain appearance quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection line is nested within an enclosed space formed by the housing and barrier structure, hiding the functional wiring inside the device body while maintaining external aesthetic integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
