Audio Box Stand and Wall Mount for Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses require separate stands for wall and floor mounting, necessitating additional purchases if the mounting type needs to be changed after initial installation.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design that includes a display panel, a panel cover, a hinge-connected audio box that functions as both a stand and a wall-fixing member, and a fall-down prevention mechanism, allowing for flexible installation on either a floor or a wall without the need for additional mounting parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate stands are provided for wall mounting and floor mounting, then each mounting type can be optimized, but the device complexity and number of parts increase
Solution Approach 1:
The audio box is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a stand when the display is placed on a floor, and as a wall-fixing member when the display is mounted on a wall. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mounting parts, resolving the contradiction between mounting versatility and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the stand function and wall-mounting function into a single integrated component (the audio box). By combining these functions that were previously performed by separate parts, the overall device complexity is reduced while maintaining adaptability to different mounting scenarios
2Device complexity
If a single component serves as both stand and wall-mounting part, then the number of parts is reduced, but the reliability of each function may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The audio box incorporates different structural features at different locations to optimize each function: a first coupling hole arrangement for stand functionality and a second coupling hole arrangement for wall-mounting functionality. This local differentiation ensures that each mounting mode achieves optimal reliability despite using a single integrated component
3Ease of operation
If the display can be easily reconfigured between mounting types, then the ease of operation improves, but the stability during each mounting mode may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling holes are segmented into two distinct sets (first coupling holes for stand mode, second coupling holes for wall-mounting mode). This segmentation allows the user to easily switch between mounting types by selecting the appropriate coupling holes, while each set maintains the stability required for its specific mounting configuration

AI summary
The display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel for outputting an image, a panel cover for covering a rear surface of the display panel, a first part fixed to the rear surface of the display unit, a second part rotatably coupled to the first part, the second part being closely attached to the first part or being disposed on an installation surface, a hinge connecting a lower end of the first part to a front end of the second part, a wall-mounting plate separably coupled to a bottom surface of the second part, and a fall-down prevention member separably coupled to a lower end of the display unit.
