Elastic Support Bracket for Diffuser Collision Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The collision between the diffuser and the support bracket in conventional direct type backlight modules leads to potential damage during installation and use, compromising the diffuser's integrity.
Innovation Solution
A support bracket design featuring an elastic connection part that allows for elastic deformation, combined with a support post and base structure, providing stable support while cushioning impacts and minimizing damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rigid support bracket is used to support the diffuser, then the diffuser can be held in position, but collision during installation and use can cause damage to the diffuser
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket is designed with an elastic connection part that allows dynamic deformation. When the diffuser collides with the support bracket, the elastic connection part deforms to absorb impact energy, then returns to its original position, preventing damage to the diffuser while maintaining reliable support.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic connection part is pre-configured to provide cushioning protection before collision occurs. This elastic element acts as a shock absorber that is already in place to protect the diffuser from impact damage during installation and use.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the diffuser is positioned close to the back plate, then structural stability is improved, but the thin diffuser is prone to deformation without support
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket provides localized support at critical positions where the diffuser is most prone to deformation. The elastic connection part is strategically positioned to provide support exactly where needed, rather than requiring uniform support across the entire diffuser structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic connection part acts as an intermediary between the rigid support structure and the thin diffuser. It transmits support force while accommodating the diffuser's vulnerability to deformation through elastic deformation, mediating between the need for stability and the need to prevent damage.
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 elastic connection part effectively reduces the risk of diffuser cracking by absorbing collision forces, ensuring stable support and maintaining the diffuser's integrity.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic connection part is configured to be elastically deformable in the first direction to change a distance between the end of the support post close to the mounting part and the base in the first direction
