Industrial Tablet Assembly Using Floating Connectors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional assembled industrial tablets face assembly interference and connection line damage due to uncontrolled connection line positions during the assembly of screen and tablet assemblies.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves a screen assembly with limiting structures and exposed first floating connectors, and a tablet assembly with a second floating connector, where the tablet assembly is guided and limited within the screen assembly's space using these connectors and structures to ensure precise and damage-free assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If connection lines are used to connect screen assembly and tablet assembly without position limitation, then assembly flexibility is maintained, but assembly interference occurs and connection lines are damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into two separate floating connectors - a first floating connector on the screen assembly and a second floating connector on the tablet assembly. This segmentation eliminates the need for long connection lines spanning the entire assembly distance, thereby preventing damage while maintaining connection flexibility through the distributed connector architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The first and second floating connectors act as intermediary elements that facilitate the connection between screen assembly and tablet assembly. These connectors serve as intermediate connection points that eliminate the need for direct, long-distance connection lines, thereby preventing assembly interference and connection line damage while maintaining assembly flexibility.
2Ease of manufacture
If connection lines are used without position control, then installation simplicity is achieved, but assembly interference occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The connection path is segmented into two separate floating connectors positioned at different locations. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex, long-distance connection line routing, thereby simplifying installation while preventing assembly interference through the distributed connector arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection system transitions from a single-dimension long-line approach to a multi-dimensional distributed connector arrangement. By positioning connectors in different spatial dimensions and orientations, the system achieves simple installation without requiring complex connection line routing, thereby eliminating assembly interference.
3Manufacturing precision
If floating connectors are exposed in assembly space, then connection precision is improved, but assembly space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection function is segmented into two separate floating connectors positioned within the assembly space. This segmentation enables precise local alignment at each connector interface while the distributed arrangement optimizes space utilization, thereby achieving high connection precision without excessive assembly space requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector arrangement utilizes multi-dimensional spatial optimization to achieve precise alignment. By positioning connectors in different orientations and dimensions within the assembly space, the system achieves high manufacturing precision while efficiently utilizing the available assembly space.

AI summary
An assembled industrial tablet is provided. A first floating connector, which is disposed on a screen assembly, and a second floating connector, which is disposed on a tablet assembly, are assembled, and the tablet assembly is limited in an assembly space of the screen assembly through limiting structures of the screen assembly, so that the industrial tablet is assembled. Therefore, the technical efficiency of assembling the industrial tablet conveniently may be achieved.
