Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wall mount type display devices have complex structures and installation methods, occupy significant space, and are difficult to level once installed, leading to resource waste and inefficient spatial utilization.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a mount plate featuring an arch-shaped handle and a mount fixer with a seating portion of matching curvature, allowing for adjustable installation angles and simplified installation, including a frictional member to prevent slipping and a rubber contact for shock absorption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional mount device is used, then the display device can be fixed to the wall, but the structure becomes complex and installation becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixed mounting capabilityVSAvoidmount device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mount device is divided into two separate components: a mount plate that attaches to the display device back surface, and a mount fixer that attaches to the wall. These components connect through a standardized connection interface, allowing independent installation and simplifying the overall structure while maintaining reliable fixed mounting capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection interface between the mount plate and mount fixer uses a nested structure where the connection protrusion of one component fits into the connection recess of the other, creating a secure interlocking connection that simplifies assembly while ensuring reliable fixed mounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If a conventional mount device is used, then the display device can be mounted to the wall, but the installation space occupied is large and spatial utilization is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewall mounting capabilityVSAvoidinstallation space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The mount plate incorporates an arch-shaped handle with a curved lower end that can rotate and adjust along the arc-shaped connection recess of the mount fixer. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the display device to be leveled after installation by changing the installation angle, reducing the need for large installation clearance while maintaining reliable wall mounting capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If a conventional mount device with inclinometer is used, then level maintenance is possible, but resources are wasted due to single-use of the inclinometer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelevel maintenance capabilityVSAvoidinclinometer resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The arch-shaped handle with its curved geometry serves a dual function: it acts as both a leveling adjustment mechanism and a built-in inclinometer reference. The curvature of the handle's lower end corresponds to the curvature of the connection recess, providing visual and tactile feedback for proper alignment and leveling without requiring a separate disposable inclinometer tool.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Reliability

If a conventional mount device is used, then the display device can be installed on the wall, but leveling after installation is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewall installation capabilityVSAvoidleveling after installation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mount plate's arch-shaped handle can rotate along the arc-shaped connection recess of the mount fixer, enabling dynamic adjustment of the installation angle after the device is mounted to the wall. This allows users to level the display device by simply rotating the handle along the curved path, making post-installation leveling easy while maintaining secure wall installation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

There are disclosed a display device including a display module configured to display a screen, a case configured to mount the display module therein, a mount plate coupled to a back surface of the case, with a lower portion comprising an arch-shaped handle having a predetermined curvature, and a mount fixer fixed to a wall, the mount fixer comprising a seating portion having the same curvature as the handle, such that an installation angle can be changed to make the display device leveled even after the mount device is installed so as to relieve difficulty in leveling the display device when it is mounted to the wall.
