Magnetic Angle Adjuster for Display Testing Base Plate
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display module testing apparatuses have a fixed angle setup, which is inconvenient for operators to adjust during testing, requiring manual adjustments and rearrangement of the entire apparatus, leading to increased production costs and time.
Innovation Solution
An angle adjusting device with pivotally attached side walls and magnetism members allows for manual adjustment of the tilt angle of a base plate, enabling easy adjustment of the testing angle during the testing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the angle between the carrier and the working table is fixed, then the apparatus structure is simple and stable, but the operator cannot adjust the viewing angle during testing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed angle structure into a movable one. The carrier is equipped with a adjustment mechanism that allows it to change its angle relative to the working table during the testing process. This enables the operator to adjust the viewing angle dynamically without rearranging the entire apparatus, directly resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the entire apparatus is rearranged to adjust the angle, then the angle can be changed, but it requires time and manpower increasing production costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the apparatus into independent functional components: the working table, the carrier, and the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is segmented as a separate module that can operate independently, allowing angle changes without affecting the rest of the apparatus. This modular segmentation enables quick angle adjustments without time-consuming rearrangements of the entire system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary adjustment mechanism between the working table and the carrier. This intermediary component (such as a movable support or adjustment device) mediates the angle adjustment function, allowing the carrier to change its angle relative to the working table through a simple operation on the intermediary mechanism rather than rearranging the entire apparatus structure.
3Ease of operation
If the carrier is manually adjusted by the operator, then the viewing angle can be changed, but it causes inconvenience and reduces testing efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle by equipping the carrier with an automatic or assisted adjustment mechanism. Instead of requiring the operator to manually rearrange the entire apparatus, the adjustment mechanism can be operated through a simple control (such as a knob, lever, or electronic control) that automatically adjusts the carrier's angle. This self-service capability maintains ease of operation while significantly improving testing efficiency by eliminating inconvenient manual rearrangements.

Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates convenient and efficient angle adjustments during display module testing, reducing production costs and time by allowing operators to easily change the tilt angle without rearranging the apparatus.
Implementation Method 1
a plurality of magnetism members disposed on the base plate and the side wall. The magnetism members configures for holding the base plate stably in a starting position and further configures to allow the base plate to be displaced from the starting position by manual pressure applied to the base plate

AI summary
An exemplary device (27) for adjusting angle of a base plate (2710) includes: two side walls (21) being parallel to and spaced apart from each other, each of the side walls including a pivot hole (217); a base plate disposed between the two side walls and pivotally attached to the side walls via the pivot axles; and a plurality of magnetism members (211, 212 and 2715) disposed on the base plate (2710) and the side wall. The magnetism members configures for holding the base plate stably in a starting position and further configures to allow the base plate to be displaced from the starting position by manual pressure applied to the base plate, such that a tilt angle of the base plate relative to the two side walls is adjustable up or down as desired. An exemplary apparatus (2) for testing display modules using the angle adjusting device is also provided.
