Solution Overview

Problem

Existing corner protection devices for display screens need to be removed before assembly, reducing assembly efficiency and increasing costs.

Innovation Solution

A corner protection device with a corner protector, base, and locking member that allows the corner protection plates to slide and lock/unlock, enabling seamless assembly without removal, and includes elastic members for automatic transition between locked and unlocked states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If corner protection devices are installed on small display screens, then the display module is protected from damage during transportation, but the corner protection devices need to be removed before assembly which reduces assembly efficiency and increases assembly cost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of display moduleVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The corner protection device employs a dynamic locking mechanism that allows the corner protector to transition between locked and unlocked states. The locking member can slide along the base to lock the corner protector in place during transportation, and can be unlocked during assembly to allow the corner protector to be received into the display screen frame, eliminating the need to remove the entire corner protection device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The corner protection device is divided into separable components: a corner protector, a base, and a locking member. The locking member is configured to lock the corner protector on the base when in the locked state, and can be unlocked to release the corner protector, allowing it to be received into the display screen frame during assembly without removing the base

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If corner protection devices are installed on small display screens, then the display module is protected from damage during transportation, but the corner protection devices need to be removed before assembly which increases assembly cost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of display moduleVSAvoidassembly cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The dynamic locking mechanism allows the locking member to transition between locked and unlocked states. During assembly, the locking member can be unlocked to allow the corner protector to be received into the frame, eliminating the need to remove and discard the corner protection device, thereby reducing assembly cost

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of discarding or removing the corner protection device during assembly, the design allows the corner protector to be recovered and received into the display screen frame after unlocking, maintaining the protective function while reducing assembly costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a corner protection device for a display screen and a display screen assembly. In the corner protection device, when a locking member slides on a base to be in a locked state, a locking block is inserted into a locking slot, a first protrusion is inserted into a first through hole of a first corner protection plate, and a second protrusion is inserted into a second through hole of a second corner protection plate. The first corner protection plate and the second corner protection plate protrude from a corner of the display screen. When the locking member slides on the base to be in an unlocked state, the first protrusion or the second protrusion drives the locking block to disengage from the locking slot, and the first corner protection plate and the second corner protection plate are received in a corner of the display screen.
