Solution Overview

Problem

The existing liquid crystal display devices face challenges in efficient assembly and high production costs due to the complex disassembly of components fixed with multiple screws, leading to increased assembly time and transportation costs.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a rotating component with a connecting piece and a hanging piece that are rotationally connected, allowing for quick disassembly and assembly, utilizing a buckling mechanism with a hook and slot system and a button for easy detachment, and a spring sheet for maintaining elasticity and preventing deformation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If multiple screws are used to fix the rotating component on the mounting seat, then the connection strength is improved, but the assembly complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating component is divided into two separate parts: the connecting piece fixed to the support stand and the hanging piece mounted on the mounting seat. This segmentation allows each part to be independently assembled and connected through a simple snap-fit mechanism, eliminating the need for multiple screws while maintaining connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hook portion and hole portion are designed to work together as an integrated fastening system. The hook portion on the mounting seat engages with the hole portion on the hanging piece, combining both parts into a single snap-fit connection that provides sufficient strength without requiring additional fastening elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If multiple screws are used to fix the rotating component, then the connection reliability is improved, but the assembly efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The hook portion is pre-formed on the mounting seat with the appropriate geometry and elasticity to automatically engage with the hole portion when the hanging piece is inserted. This preliminary preparation of the fastening structure eliminates the need for complex assembly operations while ensuring reliable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic hook portion automatically engages with the hole portion through a snap-fit action when the hanging piece is inserted, without requiring manual fastening operations. The elastic deformation of the hook portion provides self-locking functionality, ensuring reliable connection while dramatically simplifying the assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If the housing and support stand are integrally packaged, then the liquid crystal panel protection is improved, but the transportation volume and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepanel protectionVSAvoidpackage volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is divided into separable components: the housing containing the liquid crystal panel and the support stand with rotating component. This segmentation allows each component to be packaged separately in smaller, more efficient packages, reducing overall transportation volume and cost while maintaining adequate protection for the liquid crystal panel through dedicated packaging for each component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
