Solution Overview

Problem

Wires connecting electronic modules in display devices are prone to twisting, knotting, or clogging during the lifting and lowering of display panels, leading to operational failures.

Innovation Solution

A wire harness organizer structure with a bendable hinge that allows the wire to run through a hollow portion, restricting its bending to a specified plane, preventing three-dimensional twisting and knotting, and ensuring normal connection to functional modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wires are used to connect electronic modules to functional modules during display panel lifting and lowering, then electrical connectivity is maintained, but the wires become wound, twisted, knotted, or stuck

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectivityVSAvoidwire arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a flexible hinge with a hollow interior that allows the wire to pass through. The hinge can bend in a specified plane while maintaining the wire's connectivity, preventing the wire from becoming twisted or knotted during display panel movement. The hollow structure of the hinge acts as a protective channel that guides the wire along a controlled path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Reliability

If a hinge structure is introduced to organize the wire harness, then wire twisting and knotting is prevented, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire harness organizationVSAvoidhinge structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hinge structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical connection between display panels, guides the wire harness through its hollow interior, and prevents wire twisting and knotting through its bending capability. By integrating these functions into a single component, the patent avoids adding excessive complexity while achieving effective wire harness organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If the hinge is made bendable in a specified plane, then the wire can move freely during panel adjustment, but the hinge may twist in three dimensions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepanel adjustmentVSAvoidhinge orientation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The hinge is designed to be bendable in a specified plane while maintaining structural stability in other directions. This localized flexibility allows the hinge to accommodate panel adjustment movements without twisting in three dimensions. The hollow interior structure provides a stable pathway for the wire while the hinge's bending capability enables smooth panel height adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A wire harness arranging structure and a display device. The structure comprises a hinge (4) and a wire harness (3) for conducting electricity. The hinge (4) is configured to be capable of being bent in a specified plane, and the hinge (4) has a hollow portion penetrating from a first end (41) to a second end (42) of the hinge (4); the wire harness (3) passes through the hollow portion. By means of the technical solution, the problem that wires are tangled, knotted or even jammed can be avoided.
