Bent Plate Mounting for Display Rigidity and Balance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack sufficient rigidity and mounting balance, particularly in slim designs, which can lead to instability and poor performance in displaying images effectively.
Innovation Solution
A display device comprising a display panel, a plate with a first part fixed at the rear and a second part bent forward from the first part, coupled with a housing at the rear, along with front and rear brackets and fastening members for enhanced structural integrity and balance, and a supporter frame with a weight for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the display device is designed to be slim, then the thickness is reduced and aesthetics are improved, but the rigidity and mounting balance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a bent plate structure that extends backward from the display panel, utilizing the depth dimension to improve mounting balance. The plate bends at a specific angle to extend toward the rear, creating a longer lever arm for mounting without increasing the front thickness, thus resolving the contradiction between slim profile and mounting stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the geometric parameters of the mounting structure by introducing a bent plate with specific bending angles and extension lengths. The plate bends at angles between 45-135 degrees and extends backward by specific distances, changing the structural parameters to improve rigidity and balance while maintaining the slim front profile.
2Length of moving object
If the display device is designed to be slim, then the thickness is reduced, but the structural integrity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bent plate structure utilizes the rearward extension in the depth dimension to provide structural reinforcement. By extending the plate backward and bending it at specific angles, the structure gains additional support without increasing the front thickness, maintaining both slim profile and structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a combination of the display panel, bent plate, housing, and fastening members to create a composite mounting structure. This composite structure distributes mechanical loads across multiple components, enhancing overall structural integrity while maintaining the slim design of the display panel itself.
3Length of moving object
If the display device is designed to be slim, then the thickness is reduced, but the mounting balance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bent plate extends backward from the display panel, utilizing the depth dimension to create a longer mounting lever arm. This backward extension improves mounting balance by distributing mounting forces over a larger area in the rear direction, without affecting the front thickness and visual profile.
Solution Approach 2:
The bent plate structure acts as a counterbalancing element by extending backward and providing opposing moment to counteract the forward weight of the display panel. This creates better overall mounting balance, preventing the device from tipping forward while maintaining a slim profile.
