Monitor Casing Assembly With Unified Support Frame for Large Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional injection molding methods are inadequate for embedding frames into monitors larger than 32 inches, leading to complex structures, increased manufacturing costs, and difficulty in achieving lightness and thinness.
Innovation Solution
A casing assembly with a support frame that includes an accommodation portion and support portions protruding from it, accommodating a light-emitting module and supporting a display panel, allowing for a simple and cost-effective production of large-sized monitors that are both light and thin.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If injection molding means are used to embed frames into the casing, then the structure is simplified and manufacturing cost is reduced, but this method is only applicable for monitors of 32 inches or smaller
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is divided into multiple segments including a first support portion, second support portion, third support portion, and fourth support portion. Each segment can be independently positioned and fixed to the casing, allowing the overall structure to be adapted to larger monitor sizes while maintaining the benefits of the injection molding method.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple separate frames are used to support the light-emitting module and display panel, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the device complexity increases and lightness/thinness requirements cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the support functions for the light-emitting module and display panel into a single integrated support frame. This unified structure reduces the number of separate frames needed, simplifying the overall device complexity while maintaining structural integrity through the distributed support portions.
Solution Approach 2:
The support frame is designed with multi-functionality, where the same frame structure serves multiple purposes: supporting the light-emitting module, supporting the display panel, and providing structural integration with the casing. This universal design reduces complexity while maintaining the stability needed for structural integrity.
3Weight of stationary object
If a unified support frame is used to accommodate both the light-emitting module and display panel, then the device becomes lighter and thinner, but additional positioning components are required to ensure proper assembly
Solution Approach 1:
Positioning components are introduced as intermediary elements that facilitate the assembly between the unified support frame and the casing. These positioning components ensure proper alignment and attachment without requiring complex integration methods, thereby enabling the use of a lightweight unified frame while managing assembly complexity through standardized interface elements.
