Solution Overview

Problem

The existing connection method between the support assembly and the display device, which relies on screws, makes disassembly and assembly inconvenient, hindering detachability.

Innovation Solution

A support assembly with a carrier frame featuring a rotating shaft connecting a lower and upper connecting member, where the upper connecting member includes an engagement structure that securely fixes to a mounting groove on the display's rear case, allowing for easy detachment by releasing the engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If screws are used to fix the support assembly to the display, then the connection strength is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to inconvenient disassembly and assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidease of assembly and disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support assembly transitions from a static screwed connection to a dynamic engagement mechanism. The carrier frame can be engaged with or disengaged from the mounting groove through simple movement, allowing the connection state to change easily between fixed and detached, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining connection strength when engaged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extracts the fastening function from traditional screws and integrates it into the carrier frame structure itself. The engagement structure is built into the carrier frame, eliminating the need for separate fastening components and enabling direct engagement with the mounting groove, which simplifies the assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Strength

If traditional fastening connections are used, then the connection strength is improved, but the loss of time increases due to complex assembly and disassembly procedures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidassembly and disassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The support assembly transitions from a static screwed connection to a dynamic engagement mechanism. The carrier frame can be engaged with or disengaged from the mounting groove through simple movement, allowing the connection state to change easily between fixed and detached, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining connection strength when engaged.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The engagement structure is designed to be self-aligning and self-securing. When the carrier frame is moved into position, the engagement structure automatically interfaces with the mounting groove without requiring precise alignment procedures or additional fastening steps, significantly reducing assembly time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If screws are used for mounting, then the reliability of connection is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional fastening components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges the support function and the fastening function into a single integrated carrier frame structure. The carrier frame simultaneously provides structural support and includes the engagement structure for secure attachment to the mounting groove, eliminating the need for separate fastening components and reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extracts the fastening function from traditional screws and integrates it into the carrier frame structure itself. The engagement structure is built into the carrier frame, eliminating the need for separate fastening components and enabling direct engagement with the mounting groove, which simplifies the assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
