Rotating Display Cable Guide Holders to Prevent Twisting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices face issues with cable disconnection and twisting when the housing and display panel are rotated, leading to inefficient use of screen display area and potential cable damage.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a guide holder system, including a first detachable guide holder attached to the rear cover and a second fixed guide holder below the rotation device, which guides and holds cables, preventing twisting and disconnection during rotation, and includes a connector portion for secure cable connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the housing and display panel are rotated to efficiently use screen display area, then the adaptability is improved, but the cables may become twisted and disconnected, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The cable management system is divided into multiple guide holders (first guide holder attached to rear cover, second guide holder attached to rotation device) that independently guide different sections of the cable, allowing each segment to manage cable positioning separately during rotation
Solution Approach 2:
Guide holders are introduced as intermediary components between the cable and the rotating housing, acting as mediators that guide and constrain the cable to prevent twisting and disconnection while allowing rotation to occur
2Ease of manufacture
If cables are loosely arranged to ease manufacturing, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the cables may become disconnected during rotation, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The guide holders are pre-attached to the rear cover and rotation device before final cable installation, establishing predetermined cable pathways that guide cable placement and ensure proper positioning during subsequent assembly steps
