Rotatable Cushion Block for Securing Protruding Display Panels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cushions fail to effectively protect brittle electronic components like LCD panels with special features, such as protruding structures, as they cannot firmly secure these components during transportation due to reduced surface area and increased susceptibility to deformation or damage.
Innovation Solution
A cushion with a protruding structure featuring a rotation block that can be bent to accommodate and securely fix components with special features, allowing for complete packaging and reinforcement without additional manpower or operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional cushion is manufactured according to the appearance of a display panel with special features, then the cushion can accommodate the special features, but the surface area of the cushion used to hold the display panel is significantly reduced, resulting in poor fixation and increased susceptibility to deformation or damage
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion is divided into a base plate and multiple protruding structures that can be independently configured. Each protruding structure includes a rotation block that can be independently positioned and rotated, allowing the cushion to accommodate special features while maintaining a large base plate surface area for stable support of the display panel.
2Strength
If the cushion structure is enhanced to firmly fix the display panel, then the fixation strength is improved, but the complexity of the packaging structures increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rotation blocks are designed to be rotatable relative to the base plate, providing dynamic adjustment capability. This allows the protruding structures to adapt to different positions and orientations of special features on the display panel, achieving strong fixation without requiring complex predetermined structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotation blocks can be manually rotated by operators to positions that naturally accommodate the special features of the display panel. The structure itself provides the fixation function through its geometric configuration and friction, eliminating the need for additional fastening mechanisms or complex assembly procedures.
3Reliability
If additional packaging structures are added to protect the display panel, then the protection level is improved, but the ease of operation for placing and removing the display panel is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable rotation blocks allow operators to easily adjust the cushion structure to accommodate the display panel in its natural position. When placing or removing the panel, operators can simply rotate the blocks to appropriate positions, providing both strong protection and operational simplicity without requiring complex disassembly or reconfiguration.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The cushion effectively secures and protects components with special features by ensuring they are firmly fixed and cushioned, preventing deformation and damage during transportation, while allowing easy removal and reuse of the component without deforming the rotation block.
Implementation Method 1
The rotation block is connected to the main body and capable of being bent to rotate toward the base plate relative to the main body
