Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional quick release structures for displays require numerous assembly parts, leading to higher costs and a need for a more cost-effective solution that reduces the number of components while maintaining ease of operation.
Innovation Solution
A quick release structure comprising a bearing module with elastic members and an operating button, which engages with limit columns on the display's housing module, allowing for easy detachment and reassembly without additional reset springs, utilizing clip springs and limit columns to buckle and unbuckle for quick release functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional quick release structures are used, then the display can be easily detached from the supporting stand, but the number of assembly parts increases and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into the operating button: it serves as both the release actuator and the reset mechanism. When pressed, it releases the locking engagement; when released, it automatically returns to its original position to re-engage the locking mechanism, eliminating the need for separate reset components.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member serves multiple functions: it provides the locking force to hold the operating button in the engaged position, acts as a spring to enable automatic reset when the button is released, and works with the limiting surface to define the button's movement range. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components.

When pressed, it releases the locking engagement; when released, it automatically returns to its original position to re-engage the locking mechanism, eliminating the need for separate reset components.
Solution Approach 2:
The operating button is designed to automatically reset itself through the elastic force of the integrated elastic member. After the button is pressed to release the locking engagement, the elastic member's restoring force automatically returns the button to its original engaged position without requiring external intervention or additional reset springs, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.

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 reduces the number of assembly parts, lowering manufacturing costs while enabling quick and easy assembly and disassembly of displays from supporting stands, leveraging elastic restoring forces for reset functionality.
Implementation Method 1
When the external force is removed, the elastic restoring force of the clip spring can reset the operating button

AI summary
A quick release structure for bearing a display on a supporting stand is provided. The quick release structure comprises a bearing module and a housing module. The bearing module is disposed on the supporting stand, and comprises a first main board, a second main board, an accommodating space, a plurality of elastic members and an operating button. The elastic members are disposed in an accommodating space. The housing module is disposed on the display and comprises a housing and a plurality of limit columns being disposed on the housing. When the bearing module and the housing module are in an assembling status, the limit columns is penetrated the perforations and engaged with the corresponding elastic members, respectively; when an external force is applied to the operating button, the operating button is configured to deform the elastic members for detaching the limit columns from the elastic members.
