Switch Assembly Structure with Notched Housing for Efficient Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing switch assembly structures for display devices require separate assembly and mounting of the switch assembly and aviation female plug, leading to low assembling efficiency due to restricted mounting directions, which limits the ease of electrical connection and integration.
Innovation Solution
A switch assembly structure with a housing featuring notches and clamping members that form switch and plug mounting holes, allowing for secure connection and assembly from multiple directions, enabling flexible and efficient mounting of the switch assembly and plug.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the switch assembly and aviation female plug are assembled separately and mounted from different directions, then electrical connection is guaranteed, but assembling efficiency is reduced due to restricted mounting directions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the switch assembly and aviation female plug into a single integrated assembly unit. The switch assembly is positioned on one side of the housing while the aviation female plug is positioned on the opposite side, allowing both components to be mounted simultaneously from the same direction through a unified mounting structure, thereby improving assembling efficiency while maintaining reliable electrical connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the mounting approach by introducing a notched housing structure that enables assembly from multiple directions. The notches allow the integrated assembly to be mounted from either the front or back of the housing, providing dimensional flexibility that resolves the contradiction between maintaining electrical connection reliability and improving assembling efficiency.
2Ease of manufacture
If the switch assembly is inserted from the outside of the housing, then mounting is possible, but the assembly direction is restricted and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is designed with notches that enable the switch assembly to be mounted from multiple directions (front, back, or sides). This dimensional flexibility eliminates the restriction of single-direction mounting, allowing assemblers to choose the most efficient approach while maintaining ease of manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure is designed with universal characteristics through the notched housing, allowing the same assembly to be mounted from any direction. This multi-functional mounting capability ensures ease of manufacture while significantly improving assembling efficiency by removing directional constraints.
3Reliability
If separate assembly of switch assembly and aviation female plug is performed, then electrical connection is ensured, but the assembly process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the switch assembly and aviation female plug into a single integrated unit with predetermined electrical connections. This merging reduces the assembly process complexity by eliminating the need for separate handling and connection of the two components, while the internal integration ensures reliable electrical connection is maintained.
