Solution Overview

Problem

The limited space for installing the video control board in touch displaying devices due to cable placement, which is necessary to avoid electrical interference, restricts the area available for other components.

Innovation Solution

The design incorporates a receiving area between the lower plate and the touch screen to house the video control board, touch control board, timing control board, power control board, and LED driving board, optimizing the layout to accommodate these components while minimizing cable interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If cables are placed on the touch screen to connect timing control board, signal transmitter adapter, and signal receiver adapter, then electrical connections are established, but the available area for installing the video control board becomes very limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailable area for video control boardVSAvoidcable layout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional planar layout to a three-dimensional立体布局 by utilizing the space between the touch screen and the rear cover. Control boards are mounted on the rear cover while cables are routed through the vertical space, effectively adding a depth dimension to the layout and resolving the area conflict.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent pre-establishes cable routing paths and mounting positions during the design phase. Cables are routed through predetermined channels and fixed at specific locations before final assembly, preventing interference with control board installation areas and eliminating the need for complex post-assembly cable management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If cables are routed across the touch screen area, then electrical connections are achieved, but electrical interference between cables and video control board occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidelectrical interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the video control board from the touch screen area and relocates it to the rear cover. This separation removes the control board from the electromagnetic interference zone created by cables, eliminating electrical interference while maintaining reliable electrical connections through optimized cable routing to the rear cover location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple control boards are installed on the touch screen, then functionality is enhanced, but the limited area prevents proper installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice functionalityVSAvoidinstallation area
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the third dimension (depth) by mounting multiple control boards on the rear cover instead of the two-dimensional touch screen surface. This立体布局 allows multiple boards to be vertically stacked or arranged in the depth space, accommodating enhanced functionality without compromising the touch screen area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
