Universal Cabinet Connecting Component for Varying Display Panel Thickness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices require multiple cabinet designs to accommodate display panels of varying thicknesses, leading to inefficiencies in manufacturing and installation.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a cabinet with a spacer and connecting component that includes a first flat portion on the display panel, a second flat portion on the cabinet, and a third flat portion connecting them, along with a fastening mechanism that secures the cabinet to the panel through a penetrating hole, allowing for adjustable thickness accommodation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different cabinet designs are prepared for display panels of varying thicknesses, then the display panel can be properly connected to the cabinet, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cabinet is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate display panels of different thicknesses through the use of an adjustable connecting component. The connecting component includes a first flat portion, a second flat portion, and a third flat portion that can be positioned at different locations, allowing the same cabinet design to work with various panel thicknesses without requiring multiple cabinet variants.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting component is designed to be adjustable in position and configuration. The first flat portion can be located at different positions relative to the second flat portion, and the third flat portion connects them at adjustable angles or orientations. This dynamic adjustability allows the connecting component to adapt to different display panel thicknesses while maintaining a uniform cabinet design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cabinet designs are used to accommodate different panel thicknesses, then proper connection is achieved, but manufacturing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a universal cabinet with an adjustable connecting component, the system eliminates the need to manufacture multiple cabinet variants for different panel thicknesses. The connecting component can be configured in different positions and orientations to accommodate various thicknesses, allowing a single cabinet design to serve multiple purposes and thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting component is segmented into distinct portions (first flat portion, second flat portion, third flat portion) that can be independently positioned and adjusted. This segmentation allows for flexible configuration to match different panel thicknesses without requiring redesign or remanufacturing of the entire cabinet structure.
3Ease of manufacture
If a uniform cabinet is used for all display panels, then manufacturing is simplified, but the ability to accommodate varying panel thicknesses is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting component incorporates dynamic adjustability features that allow it to adapt to different panel thicknesses within the uniform cabinet structure. The first flat portion can be positioned at different locations, and the third flat portion can connect the first and second flat portions in various configurations, enabling the same cabinet to accommodate different thicknesses through adjustable component positioning rather than through multiple cabinet designs.

AI summary
The instant application describes a display device including a display panel; a cabinet configured to house the display panel; a spacer disposed inside of the cabinet between a back wall of the cabinet and a back portion of the display panel; and a fastening component configured to secure the back wall of the cabinet to the back portion of the display panel by penetrating through the back wall of the cabinet and the spacer and resting in an aperture provided in the back portion of the display panel.
