Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display mounted in a display frame assembly that includes a plastic structure overmolded over a display frame. A housing midplate may be used to provide the electronic device with mechanical rigidity and strength, and may also be used as a sensor plane. For sensor plane applications, accurate placement and assembly of the midplate in the housing can be critical. The housing midplate may be accurately assembled to the display frame using connections formed using welded tabs, welded and screwed nuts, overmolded plastic heat stake structures, or overmolded plastic structures and adhesive. Rework and repair operations may be performed by disconnecting connections such as welds using cutting equipment, by using solvent to dissolve adhesive, by unscrewing welded nuts, or by removing heat stake structures. Following rework or repair, a fresh midplate and associated components may be attached to the display frame.

Abstract translation: 电子设备可以设置有安装在显示框架组件中的显示器，显示框架组件包括在显示框架上包覆成型的塑料结构。 可以使用壳体中板来为电子设备提供机械刚性和强度，并且还可以用作传感器平面。 对于传感器平面应用，中间板在壳体中的精确放置和组装可能是至关重要的。 通过使用焊接接头，焊接和螺纹螺母，包覆成型的塑料热桩结构或包覆成型的塑料结构和粘合剂形成的连接，可将壳体中间板精确地组装到显示框架上。 可以通过使用切割设备，通过使用溶剂来溶解粘合剂，拧松焊接的螺母或通过去除热桩结构来断开诸如焊缝的连接来执行返修和维修操作。 在返修或修理之后，可以将新的中间板和相关部件附接到显示框架。
