Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face challenges in achieving stable support structures that allow for easy assembly and prevent shaking or falling, which can lead to instability and assembly complexity.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a support member with a sliding coupling mechanism, including a first coupling part in the display unit's bottom and a second coupling part on the support member that protrudes to securely attach and stabilize the display unit, along with a stopper member and fastening mechanism for enhanced fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a support member is provided to stably support a display unit with thin thickness and wide area, then structural stability is improved, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism is divided into separate components: a first coupling part integrated into the display unit bottom and a second coupling part on the support member. These segmented parts can be independently manufactured and then assembled together through sliding engagement, reducing overall assembly complexity while maintaining structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The second coupling part (protruding part) is inserted into and nested within the first coupling part (concave part). This nesting arrangement allows the support member to be securely attached to the display unit through a compact, space-efficient coupling mechanism that simplifies assembly while providing robust support.
2Ease of operation
If a coupling mechanism is designed to easily assemble display unit and support member, then ease of assembly is improved, but structural stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism employs a sliding coupling design where the protruding part moves dynamically into the concave part during assembly. This dynamic insertion process is simple and easy to perform, yet once engaged, creates a stable fixed connection that ensures structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling parts are designed to self-align and self-lock through their geometric shapes. The protruding part naturally fits into the concave part without requiring additional fastening operations or complex alignment procedures, making assembly trivial while maintaining stable support.
3Reliability
If multiple coupling parts and fastening members are added to prevent shaking and falling, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism merges multiple functions into a single integrated design. The sliding engagement between the first and second coupling parts simultaneously provides attachment, positioning, and anti-shaking stability without requiring separate fastening members or additional structural elements, thus improving reliability while minimizing complexity.
