Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wire fixation methods in display devices, such as adhesive tapes and half-open snap structures, are inefficient, requiring excessive human resources for assembly, difficult to disassemble, and prone to wire detachment during transportation due to inadequate fixation.
Innovation Solution
A full-surrounding wire fixation apparatus comprising a first snap structure, a second snap structure, and an auxiliary installation plate forming a wire channel with an interval, allowing the wire to be snapped in securely and easily removed, preventing detachment during transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If adhesive tapes are used to connect wires, then the assembly process is simple, but excessive human resources are wasted and the product is difficult to disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces adhesive tapes with a mechanical snap structure consisting of a snap body with a clamping cavity and elastic components. The wire is clamped mechanically through the elastic force of the snap structure, eliminating the need for adhesive tapes and manual assembly operations.
2Ease of manufacture
If adhesive tapes are used to fix wires, then initial fixation is achieved, but the adhesive force reduces over time and wires may fall off
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the chemical bonding mechanism of adhesive tapes with a mechanical elastic clamping mechanism. The snap structure uses elastic deformation to maintain constant clamping force on the wire, ensuring reliable fixation over time without the adhesive degradation problem.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the elastic properties of the snap structure to maintain dynamic clamping force. The elastic component continuously adjusts to maintain optimal fixation pressure, adapting to variations in wire diameter and environmental conditions that would affect adhesive performance.
3Device complexity
If half-open snap structures are used, then the structure is simple, but the wire fixation is insufficient and wires may detach during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the snap structure into distinct functional components: a snap body forming the clamping cavity, elastic components providing clamping force, and a pressing member for actuation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while working together to provide secure wire fixation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent concentrates the clamping force at the specific location where the wire contacts the snap structure. The elastic components are positioned to apply localized pressure on the wire within the clamping cavity, ensuring firm fixation without requiring complex overall structure.
4Reliability
If ribbon-type wire fixation buckles with full-surrounded structure are used, then wire fixation is secure, but the product is difficult to disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a pressing member that can be actuated to dynamically change the state of the snap structure. When the pressing member is pressed, it releases the elastic force, allowing the wire to be removed. This dynamic control mechanism enables easy disassembly while maintaining secure fixation during normal operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The snap structure is designed to maintain its clamping state automatically through elastic memory, requiring no continuous external force or monitoring. The elastic components self-regulate to maintain optimal clamping force, and the pressing member provides a simple user-actuated release mechanism.

AI summary
A wire fixation apparatus and a display device are provided. The wire fixation apparatus includes: a first snap structure, half surrounding a wire and provided with a first opening at a side thereof; a second snap structure, half surrounding a wire and provided with a second opening at a side thereof; and an auxiliary installation plate connecting the first snap structure to the second snap structure. The first opening of the first snap structure is opposite to the second opening of the second snap structure. The first snap structure, the second snap structure and the auxiliary installation plate together form a wire channel for the wire to pass therethrough, and an interval is arranged between the first snap structure and the second snap structure to enable the wire to be snapped into the wire channel through the interval. Projections of the first snap structure, the second snap structure and the auxiliary installation plate onto a first projection plane together encircle a projection of the wire onto the first projection plane. The first projection plane is a plane of a cross section of the wire.
