Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices, particularly those with transparent panels, lack a robust and adjustable bracket assembly for secure mounting and positioning, which can lead to instability and potential damage from external forces.

Innovation Solution

A bracket assembly comprising a front and rear bracket system with movable hooks and adjustable coupling mechanisms, allowing fine adjustment of the display device's position and secure mounting to a wall, incorporating heat dissipation features for improved stability and durability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed rigid bracket assembly is used to mount the display device, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability for fine position adjustment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidposition adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket assembly incorporates a movable hook that can slide along the rear bracket in the left-and-right direction, transforming a static rigid structure into a dynamic adjustable system. This allows the display device position to be fine-tuned while maintaining structural stability through the coupling between the front and rear brackets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If a simple single-bracket design is used, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of mounting security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket structure complexityVSAvoidmounting security
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is divided into two separate brackets: a front bracket that directly supports the display device and a rear bracket that provides additional support and wall mounting capability. This segmentation enhances mounting security by distributing loads across multiple structural elements while keeping each individual bracket relatively simple in design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If the hook is fixed in position on the front bracket, then manufacturing precision is improved, but adaptability for positioning adjustment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehook positioning precisionVSAvoidposition adjustment range
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The hook is designed to be movable along the rear bracket rather than fixed, allowing it to slide in the left-and-right direction. This dynamic design enables the hook to be manufactured with standard precision while providing adjustable positioning capability, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Ease of manufacture

If no adjustment mechanism is provided, then ease of manufacture is improved, but ease of operation for positioning deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebracket assembly manufacturingVSAvoidposition adjustment ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The movable hook design provides an inherent adjustment mechanism that requires no additional complex components. The hook can be easily moved along the rear bracket and positioned as needed, then secured in place. This maintains ease of manufacture while significantly improving ease of operation for position adjustment compared to a completely fixed design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
