Solution Overview

Problem

The existing display screen disassembly process is labor-intensive and prone to damage, as it requires a heavy magnetic tool that can cause harm to the display screen's lamp beads, and the process is inefficient, necessitating complete disassembly and reassembly of each screen for maintenance or replacement.

Innovation Solution

A guiding device with a pushing mechanism and guidepost system that creates a gap between the display screen and frame, allowing for safe and efficient disassembly without complete removal from the frame, reducing the need for strong magnetic tools and minimizing damage to the display screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a magnetic auxiliary screen disassembling tool is used to disassemble the display screen, then the display screen can be separated from the frame, but the lamp beads of the display screen are damaged by the magnetic tool

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisassembly operationVSAvoiddamage to lamp beads
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A guide post is introduced as an intermediary component between the display screen and the disassembling tool. The guide post extends from the frame and guides the disassembling tool during separation, preventing direct magnetic contact between the tool and the display screen, thereby avoiding damage to the lamp beads while enabling successful disassembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The disassembling tool is segmented into multiple magnetic components distributed along its length, rather than a single concentrated magnet. This segmentation allows the tool to interact with multiple guide posts simultaneously, distributing the magnetic force and preventing concentrated damage to any single area of the display screen

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of repair

If the display screen is completely disassembled from the frame for maintenance, then the screen can be checked, but the operator's work intensity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen maintenanceVSAvoidoperator efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of repairVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The guide post system enables partial disassembly action where only the necessary portion of the display screen needs to be separated from the frame for maintenance, rather than requiring complete disassembly and reassembly. The guide post remains on the frame and guides the tool during the partial separation needed for inspection or repair

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The guide post automatically guides the disassembling tool during the separation process, providing self-guidance functionality. The tool follows the guide post's path naturally during insertion and withdrawal, eliminating the need for complex alignment operations by the operator and reducing work intensity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If a heavy magnetic auxiliary screen disassembling tool is used, then the display screen can be disassembled, but the tool may fall off after disassembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisassembly capabilityVSAvoidtool stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic disassembling tool is divided into multiple segments with distributed magnets along its length. During disassembly, multiple guide posts engage with different magnetic segments simultaneously, providing distributed support that prevents the tool from falling off after disassembly, even though the tool remains heavy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

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

Facilitates convenient and labor-saving disassembly and assembly of display screens, reducing the risk of damage to LED lamp beads and improving operational efficiency by allowing multiple screens to be checked or replaced without full disassembly, while supporting the display screen during handling.

Implementation Method 1

the guidepost is inserted into the guide hole, and when the pushing mechanism applies a reaction force to the second component, the guidepost moves along the guide hole

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectFriction: Friction

Implementation Method 2

the pushing mechanism is butted with the second component to apply a counter force to the first component, so as to separate the first component from the second component

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMechanical Force: Mechanical Force
