Solution Overview

Problem

The existing magnetic attraction structures in display devices are prone to adsorbing metal dust, such as iron chips, which affects the display effect and reliability due to assembly errors and dust accumulation, especially in heavy traffic environments.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic attraction assembly comprising a first and second magnetic shield with a magnetic member, where the shields define receiving cavities to control and shield the magnetic force, reducing the likelihood of dust adsorption by directing the magnetic force away from the display device surfaces and improving assembly precision.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a magnetic attraction structure is used to connect the display module and case, then the connection strength is improved, but metal dust is easily adsorbed to the surfaces, affecting display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidmetal dust adsorption
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic attraction structure is divided into separate magnetic components (first magnetic component in the case, second magnetic component in the display module) with independent magnetic shields. This segmentation allows the magnetic force to be contained within specific regions, reducing the adsorption of metal dust on the display module surface while maintaining connection strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A non-magnetic intermediate layer or protective structure is introduced between the magnetic components and the display module surface. This intermediary prevents metal dust from being directly adsorbed onto the display surface while allowing the magnetic attraction to function for connection purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If magnetic attraction structure is used, then assembly is simplified, but assembly errors cause dust accumulation and affect reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoiddisplay reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic shield and magnetic components are designed with specific local geometries and material properties that concentrate the magnetic force in controlled regions. This local quality control ensures that even with assembly variations, the magnetic attraction remains effective while dust adsorption is minimized in critical areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic components and shields are pre-assembled or pre-positioned with built-in alignment features or tolerance compensation mechanisms. This preliminary action reduces the impact of assembly errors, ensuring reliable performance and minimizing dust accumulation without requiring extremely precise assembly operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Force

If magnetic attraction structure is used, then connection force is improved, but dust adsorption increases affecting maintenance time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic attraction forceVSAvoidmaintenance time
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The harmful effect of dust adsorption is extracted or separated from the useful magnetic attraction function. The magnetic shield confines the magnetic field to specific regions, allowing strong attraction force for connection while preventing dust adsorption on the display surface, thereby reducing cleaning and maintenance time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
