Audio Extension Module for Wall-Mounted Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display devices lack a versatile and aesthetically appealing mounting solution that integrates audio enhancement and flexible positioning, limiting their functionality and appearance when mounted on walls.
Innovation Solution
An audio extension module with integrated speakers, a tilting mechanism, and wireless communication capabilities, designed to enhance the audio output and provide adjustable mounting options, including the ability to detach from the wall for flexible placement and tilting, while maintaining a picture frame-like appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a picture frame-type frame is used to mount the image display device on the wall, then the external appearance becomes more appealing and user convenience is improved, but the audio output capability remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the picture frame mounting structure with an audio extension module containing speakers into a single integrated unit. The audio module is embedded within the frame structure, allowing the frame to simultaneously serve as both a decorative mounting element and an audio output device, thus resolving the contradiction between aesthetic appearance and audio capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a mounting structure for wall installation, provides aesthetic decoration, and functions as an audio output device through the integrated speakers. This multi-functionality allows the same structure to satisfy both aesthetic requirements and audio performance needs.
2Device complexity
If the image display device is fixedly mounted on the wall, then installation is simplified, but flexibility in positioning and viewing angle adjustment is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a tilting mechanism that allows the image display device to be adjusted to different angles after mounting. The device can be tilted within a certain range to accommodate different viewing positions and preferences, providing dynamic adaptability while maintaining a fixed wall-mounted installation.
3Device complexity
If traditional mounting methods are used, then the structure is simple, but audio enhancement and flexible positioning capabilities are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the traditional simple mounting structure with an audio extension module containing speakers and a tilting mechanism. The audio module is integrated into the frame without significantly complicating the overall mounting structure, allowing the system to gain audio enhancement capabilities while maintaining relative structural simplicity.
4Stability of the object's composition
If the audio extension module is permanently fixed to the wall, then installation stability is improved, but flexibility in placement and repositioning is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The tilting mechanism allows the audio extension module to be dynamically adjusted to different angles while remaining wall-mounted. This provides positioning flexibility without compromising the stable wall-mounted installation, as the device can be repositioned within its tilting range but remains securely attached to the wall.
