Sliding Display Cover Assembly With Rigid Guide Frame Coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack a robust coupling structure for the frame, which affects the rigidity and functionality of the display panel's cover assembly, particularly in terms of opening and closing mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A display device design incorporating a module cover, an outer frame, a guide frame, and a cover assembly that is movable along the guide frame, with coupling structures between these components to enhance rigidity and facilitate opening and closing of the display panel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple frame structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the rigidity of the frame deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The guide frame merges multiple functions into a single structural element: it provides structural support for rigidity, guides the movement of the cover assembly, and couples the module cover to the outer frame. This integration achieves high rigidity without proportionally increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide frame incorporates a guide groove that enables dynamic movement of the cover assembly along a predetermined path. This dynamic feature allows the frame to transition from a static rigid structure to one that controlledly permits motion, maintaining rigidity while enabling functionality.
2Device complexity
If a fixed cover assembly is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the functionality of opening and closing the display panel deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The cover assembly transitions from a fixed state to a movable state through the guide groove mechanism. The guide groove allows the cover to slide along a predetermined path, enabling opening and closing functionality while maintaining structural guidance and control.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide groove acts as an intermediary element between the fixed frame structure and the movable cover assembly. It mediates the transition by providing a controlled path for movement, allowing the cover to open and close while maintaining structural integrity.
3Device complexity
If the module cover is not coupled to the frame, then the device complexity is reduced, but the stability of the coupling structure deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The guide frame serves as a coupling structure that merges the module cover and outer frame into a unified assembly. It provides stable coupling through integrated connection points and structural continuity, ensuring the module cover remains securely attached to the frame.
