Display Panel Magnetic Mounting Apparatus for Front-Surface Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-display devices face challenges in easily attaching, detaching, and aligning display modules due to their rear-facing installation structure, which complicates repairs, replacements, and reduces productivity, and limits the ability to recognize the coupling state of display modules.
Innovation Solution
A display mounting apparatus with a magnetic mounting element and an interlocked rotational engagement body that allows for front-surface attachment and detachment of display panels, utilizing magnetic forces for engagement and disengagement, and an alignment unit for precise positioning, enabling easy assembly and disassembly of display modules.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If display modules are installed at the rear of the multi-display device using engagement members, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of repair and replacement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional installation approach by moving the engagement portion from the rear to the front surface of the display modules. The engagement portions are now located at front surfaces, allowing tools to access and manipulate them from the front, thereby enabling easy repair and replacement while maintaining structural stability through proper engagement mechanisms.
2Shape
If engagement portions are hidden at the rear of display modules, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by changing the spatial dimension of engagement portion accessibility. Instead of hiding engagement portions at the rear (3D hidden location), the engagement portions are positioned at front surfaces, allowing them to be accessed from the front dimension. This enables both aesthetic appearance and ease of operation by making engagement portions accessible from the front while maintaining a clean rear surface.
3Strength
If coupling operation is performed at the rear of display modules, then the structural integrity is improved, but the productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the coupling operation location from rear to front. By positioning engagement portions at front surfaces, assembly operations can be performed from the front, improving productivity by eliminating the need to maneuver around or disassemble other components to access rear coupling points, while structural integrity is maintained through proper engagement design.
4Volume of moving object
If the profile structure body is embedded in wall surface, then the space utilization is improved, but the ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the access direction for repair operations. By positioning engagement portions at front surfaces of display modules rather than at the rear, repair tools can access the engagement portions from the front, enabling easy replacement of display modules even when the profile structure body is embedded in the wall surface, thereby maintaining space utilization while improving ease of repair.
