Display Panel Locking Mechanism for Same-Plane Housing Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing assembled display panels require time-consuming adjustments to ensure multiple housings and display panels are in the same reference plane, leading to low installation efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A locking mechanism with splicing assemblies, including splicing blocks, limiting protruding blocks, fixing bases, and locking screw rods, ensures that multiple housings and display panels are aligned in the same reference plane through connections facilitated by locking screw rods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each housing is connected separately using connecting bolts, then the connection between housings is reliable, but the adjustment time for flatness is excessive and installation efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate housing connections into a unified splicing assembly structure. The splicing assembly includes a splicing block that simultaneously connects multiple housings through integrated limiting protruding blocks and fixing bases, replacing the traditional method of connecting each housing separately with individual connecting bolts. This merging of connection functions reduces the number of separate adjustment operations required while maintaining connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The splicing assembly is pre-configured with limiting protruding blocks and fixing bases in specific positions before installation. The limiting protruding blocks are预先 positioned to guide the fixing bases into correct alignment, and the splicing block is pre-structured with connection features. This preliminary arrangement of components eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site adjustments of each housing's flatness during installation.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple housings are installed separately with individual adjustments, then each housing can be precisely positioned, but the overall installation efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The splicing assembly incorporates self-aligning features where the limiting protruding blocks automatically guide the fixing bases into the correct positions during installation. The structure itself provides the positioning function without requiring external adjustment tools or operations. The splicing block and fixing bases work together to automatically ensure housings are positioned in the same reference plane, eliminating the need for separate precision adjustment of each housing.
3Productivity
If a splicing assembly is used to connect multiple housings simultaneously, then installation efficiency is improved, but the structural complexity of the connection mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The splicing assembly is segmented into distinct functional components: the splicing block for mounting splicing blocks, limiting protruding blocks for positioning, and fixing bases for connection. Each component has a specific function, and they work together in a modular fashion. This segmentation allows for simplified manufacturing of individual parts while achieving the complex function of simultaneous multi-housing connection, balancing structural complexity with installation efficiency.
