Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a boosting unit (spring/gas spring structure) is used to make the bracket adjustable, then the adjustability is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to premature air leakage failure, fatigue wear deformation fracture

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidservice life of boosting unit
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the boosting unit from the system entirely, replacing it with a passive mechanical structure consisting of a mounting seat, pylon, and connecting arm that achieves adjustment through gravitational force and friction rather than active boosting mechanisms, thereby eliminating the reliability issues associated with boosting units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket structure utilizes its own weight and the friction between mechanical components to achieve and maintain adjusted positions without requiring external boosting units, allowing the system to serve itself through its inherent mechanical properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the weight of the display device is completely carried by the boosting unit, then the adjustment function is achieved, but the safety deteriorates due to excessive dependence on the boosting unit power

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment functionVSAvoidsafety hazard
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs the weight of the display device itself as a counterweight, where the gravitational force acting on the display device is balanced by the friction and mechanical resistance in the connecting arm and pylon structure, eliminating the need for boosting units and the associated safety hazards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

The mechanical structure is designed with inherent friction and resistance mechanisms that provide passive support and cushioning for the display device weight before any adjustment is made, preventing sudden drops or failures and ensuring continuous safety support

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Ease of manufacture

If traditional bracket structures are used, then the installation is simple, but the adjustability deteriorates with limited adjustable range

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidadjustable range
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static traditional bracket into a dynamic structure where the connecting arm and pylon can rotate and adjust to various angles and positions, enabling continuous adjustment within a wide range while maintaining relatively simple installation through the modular mounting seat design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The invention relates to an adjustable bracket for a display device. The adjustable bracket includes a mounting seat for being fixed to an object surface, a pylon for mounting the display device, and a connecting arm with two ends being rotatably connected to the mounting seat and the pylon, respectively. The mounting seat is provided with a lifting means and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting a retraction state of the pylon therein. The bracket is suitable for a variety of display devices of various specifications, and the pylon is adjustable in three dimensions relative to the mounting seat, thereby meeting the use requirements. The power structure is built to protect itself and to avoid safety hazards. A user can adjust the position of the pylon relative to the mounting seat by pulling and pushing, and the installation and debugging operation is simple, and an overall thickness of the bracket is small when the pylon and the mounting seat are closed up, and the storage space occupied by the bracket is small. The setting of the adjusting mechanism solves the problem of premature failure of a boosting unit caused by over-reliance on its own strength.
