Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audiovisual device racks are not easily adjustable to change the angle of audiovisual devices, leading to blind spots and reduced visibility of the device's content from certain directions.

Innovation Solution

An audiovisual device rack with a column, an adjusting member, and a mounting plate, where the adjusting member includes a connecting seat with arc-shaped slots and fixing plates, allowing the mounting plate to be hingedly fixed and rotated to adjust the angle of the audiovisual device freely.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the audiovisual device is fixed in a single orientation on the rack, then the structure is simple and stable, but the content is not visible from certain directions and blind spots occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle adaptabilityVSAvoidrack structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting plate is designed to be rotatable relative to the adjusting member through a rotary rod mechanism, allowing the audiovisual device to dynamically change its orientation angle. This dynamic structure enables the device to switch between horizontal and vertical screens and adjust to different viewing directions, resolving the contradiction between fixed structure simplicity and viewing angle adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the mounting plate is rigidly fixed to the column, then the structure is stable, but the angle of the audiovisual device cannot be adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveangle adjustment easeVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting seat is designed to be rotatable around the center of the circle of arc-shaped slots relative to the column through connectors. This allows the mounting plate and attached audiovisual device to be adjusted to different angles while maintaining secure connection through the slot-slot mechanism, achieving both ease of angle adjustment and mounting stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjusting member is divided into a connecting seat and two fixing plates, with the mounting plate hingedly fixed between the fixing plates. This segmentation allows independent rotation of the connecting seat relative to the column while the mounting plate rotates relative to the adjusting member, providing multi-level adjustability without compromising overall structural reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the audiovisual device is mounted in a fixed position, then the installation is simple, but the device cannot be switched between horizontal and vertical orientations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorientation switching capabilityVSAvoidorientation adjustment ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The hinged connection between the mounting plate and adjusting member through the rotary rod enables easy orientation switching. The user can rotate the mounting plate to switch between horizontal and vertical orientations of the audiovisual device, and the arc-shaped slots allow the connecting seat to be rotated to different angular positions, providing both orientation adaptability and operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
