TV Mainboard Apparatus with Exposed Interfaces for Simplified Wiring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integrated TV main boards within the rear casing lead to complex wiring, making installation and replacement inconvenient, and affecting the appearance of TVs, as external ports require numerous leading-out wires and separate power supply lines for both the TV and main board.
Innovation Solution
A TV main board apparatus with exposed interfaces for power and multimedia signal transmission, allowing for a separate, independent installation outside the TV casing, with integrated power conversion and high-definition multimedia interfaces, simplifying connections and reducing the need for multiple wires.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the TV main board is integrated in the TV's rear casing, then the TV structure is compact, but the wiring becomes complex and the appearance is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the TV system into two independent parts: the TV display unit and the main board unit. The main board is extracted from the TV's rear casing and placed in a separate box, with interfaces exposed on both units. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex internal wiring within the TV while maintaining a compact overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The main board is extracted from the TV's rear casing and placed in a separate independent box. This extraction removes the complex wiring requirements from the TV structure, allowing the TV to have a cleaner, simpler internal structure while the main board handles all connections externally.
2Volume of moving object
If the TV main board is integrated in the TV's rear casing, then the TV structure is compact, but the main board cannot be easily detached or replaced
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the main board into an independent box with exposed interfaces, the invention enables the main board to be easily detached and replaced without affecting the TV display unit. The modular design allows users to swap main boards by simply connecting or disconnecting the interface cables.
3Ease of repair
If the TV main board is placed outside the TV casing as an independent apparatus, then the main board can be easily replaced, but the wiring becomes more complicated requiring separate power supply lines
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the power supply function into the main board unit by providing a power adapter that connects to the main board's exposed interface. This integration means the same connection line that transmits multimedia signals also provides power to the main board, eliminating the need for separate power supply lines and reducing overall wiring complexity.
4Ease of repair
If the TV main board is placed outside the TV casing as an independent apparatus, then the main board can be easily replaced, but the appearance is not concise and beautiful
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the system into a compact TV display unit and a separate main board unit housed in its own box. Both units have exposed interfaces that allow for clean, minimal connections. The separation allows each unit to have a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing design without the clutter of exposed wiring on the TV itself.
