Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses face challenges in securely attaching a display unit to an installation frame, particularly when the frame is curved, as existing methods can lead to structural distortion during bending.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a flexible display unit and an installation frame that includes a base layer and a magnetic material layer, where the display unit is attached using magnetic force, and features like a pemnut and screw mechanism for easy assembly and adjustment, along with articulated assemblies and bending assistant portions to manage frame curvature and prevent distortion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display unit is attached to the installation frame using conventional mechanical methods, then the attachment is secure, but structural distortion occurs during bending of the frame
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional mechanical attachment methods (screws, clips, adhesives) with magnetic attraction. The installation frame includes a magnetic material layer that magnetically attracts the display unit, eliminating mechanical fasteners that would constrain and distort the frame during bending. This allows the frame to flex while maintaining secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The installation frame is constructed as a composite structure with a base layer and a magnetic material layer. This composite design combines the structural properties of the base material with the magnetic properties of the magnetic layer, enabling both structural integrity during bending and secure magnetic attachment of the display unit.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the installation frame is made rigid to maintain structural integrity, then structural distortion is prevented, but the frame cannot be bent to different shapes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible installation frame that can be bent into different curvatures. The frame incorporates articulated assemblies with multiple connection portions that allow flexible movement and adaptation to various shapes while maintaining structural integrity through magnetic attachment rather than rigid mechanical fastening.
3Adaptability or versatility
If magnetic material is added to the installation frame to enable magnetic attachment, then attachment flexibility improves, but the weight of the frame increases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic material layer is applied locally to the installation frame only where magnetic attachment is needed, rather than making the entire frame from heavy magnetic material. This localized application provides the necessary magnetic attachment capability while minimizing the overall weight increase of the frame structure.
