Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face issues during base detachment, where the base can fall and cause injury or damage due to user negligence, as the user may not hold it securely while pressing the release button.

Innovation Solution

A supporting structure with a first body and a second body, featuring a releasing part and an anti-sliding part, where the releasing part is movable between positions to engage and disengage the fastening parts, ensuring the base moves along a direction that requires user grip for safe detachment, preventing accidental falls.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the base is designed to be detachable from the display device, then the space is saved and the base facilitates removal, but the base may fall and cause injury or damage due to user negligence

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveEase of detachmentVSAvoidBase falling and causing injury
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The detachment mechanism is divided into two independent fastening parts: a first fastening part that releases when the button is pressed, and a second fastening part that provides continuous support. This segmentation ensures that even if the primary fastening releases, the base remains supported by the secondary fastening part, preventing it from falling and causing injury.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If a single fastening mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but the user may not hold the base securely while pressing the release button

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveStructure simplicityVSAvoidSafe detachment
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The second fastening part is pre-positioned to provide continuous support to the base throughout the detachment process. Before the first fastening part releases and before the user fully removes the base, the second fastening part is already in place to prevent accidental drops, ensuring safe detachment without requiring perfect user timing or grip.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A display device includes a display panel and a supporting structure. The supporting structure is connected to the display panel. The supporting structure includes a first body and a second body. The first body has a releasing part and an anti-sliding part. The releasing part is movable between a first position and a second position. The second body is detachably connected to the first body. The second body includes a first fastening part and a second fastening part. The first fastening part is for fastening the releasing part. The second fastening part is for fastening the anti-sliding part. When the releasing part is positioned at the first position, the releasing part is engaged with the first fastening part. When the releasing part is positioned at the second position, the second body moves along the first direction for enabling the anti-sliding part to be fastened by the second fastening part.
