Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display module fixing mechanisms are inconvenient for assembly and disassembly, do not support front maintenance, and cannot adapt to displacement or deformation of the display module or its housing chassis, leading to potential jamming and safety hazards.

Innovation Solution

An elastic push-in locking assembly with a mounting column, fixed concave platform, and elastic clamping device that allows detachable connection and adaptive elastic deformation to accommodate displacement, ensuring stable connection and facilitating front maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a locked-in fixing mechanism is used to ensure stability during installation, then the connection strength is improved, but the ease of disassembly and maintenance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidease of disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing mechanism transitions from a static locked-in state to a dynamic elastic clamping state. The elastic clamping part can deform elastically under external forces, allowing the connection to adapt dynamically while maintaining strength, and enables easy disassembly by overcoming the elastic force

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If a locked-in fixing mechanism is used to secure the display module, then the reliability of connection is improved, but the adaptability to displacement and deformation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidadaptability to displacement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic clamping part changes its physical parameters (shape, position) through elastic deformation when subjected to external forces or displacement. This allows the connection to adapt to dimensional changes and relative positional shifts while maintaining reliable connection through the restoring elastic force

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If a rigid fixing mechanism is used to prevent movement, then the stability of connection is improved, but the resistance to external force impact deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidimpact of external forces
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic clamping part provides beforehand cushioning by deforming elastically under external forces, absorbing impact energy before it can transmit to the connected components. This protects the connection from damage while maintaining stability through the elastic restoring force

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

An elastic push-in locking assembly (1) is used to detachably connect a stationary body (2) with a mounting body (3). It includes a mounting column (11) with a first end fixed to the stationary body, a fixed concave platform (12) provided on the mounting body, and an elastic clamping device including a fixing part and an elastic clamping part integrally moulded with the fixing part. The elastic clamping part is adapted to a second end of the mounting column, and the elastic clamping device is fixed in the fixed concave platform through the fixing part. When the second end of the mounting column is inserted into the elastic clamping part, the elastic deformation of the elastic clamping part forms an elastic constraint on the second end of the mounting column, making the stationary body and the mounting body in a connected state. When the mounting column is pulled out, the stationary body and the mounting body are in a separated state.
