Suction-Based Fixing Structure to Prevent Display Device Toppling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Light and thin display devices are unstable and prone to toppling due to increased contact area for stability, which makes them cumbersome, and existing fixing methods can damage surfaces or not be reusable.
Innovation Solution
A fixing structure comprising a seat and a fixing device with a connecting part and a sucking disc that attaches to a mounting base, providing stability without damaging the surface and allowing for easy removal and reuse.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the contact area between the seat and supporting platform is increased to improve stability, then the display device becomes more stable, but the display device becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into separate functional components: a seat for supporting the display device, a connecting part for attachment, and a sucking disc for securing to the mounting base. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently without adding unnecessary complexity to the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The sucking disc acts as an intermediary between the seat and the mounting base, providing a secure connection through suction force. This intermediary component enables stable fixation without requiring direct large-area contact between the seat and supporting platform, thus avoiding the cumbersome design.
2Stability of the object's composition
If traditional screw or adhesive fixing methods are used to prevent toppling, then the display device becomes stable, but the mounting base surface may be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical fixing methods (screws, adhesives) with a suction-based fixing mechanism. The sucking disc utilizes atmospheric pressure and suction force to secure the display device to the mounting base, eliminating the need for penetrating fasteners or chemical adhesives that could damage the surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The sucking disc employs pneumatic principles by creating a vacuum or negative pressure between the disc surface and the mounting base. This pneumatic fixation method provides strong holding force without mechanical penetration or chemical bonding, thus preventing surface damage while ensuring stability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If traditional fixing methods are used to secure the display device, then stability is improved, but the fixing device cannot be easily removed and reused
Solution Approach 1:
The sucking disc provides a dynamic fixing solution where the suction force can be easily adjusted or released. By simply releasing the suction (e.g., through a release mechanism or by breaking the vacuum seal), the display device can be quickly removed and repositioned, enabling easy reuse without permanent attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing structure allows for easy separation and recovery of the display device from the mounting base. The sucking disc can be detached without leaving residue or damage, enabling the display device to be recovered and repositioned as needed, thus improving operational flexibility and reuse capability.
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
