Concealed Rear-Cover Stand Assembly for Convertible Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses face challenges in accommodating and securing a stand member when transitioning from a wall-mounted to a floor-standing configuration, leading to potential loss of the stand and aesthetic issues when the stand is exposed.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design that incorporates a stand member which can be accommodated within the rear cover when wall-mounted and easily assembled onto the display apparatus when needed for floor-standing use, featuring a protrusion system for secure coupling and adjustable positioning to prevent loss and enhance aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the stand member is provided separately from the display apparatus, then the stand can be easily assembled when needed, but the stand may be lost and additional storage space is required
Solution Approach 1:
The stand member is integrated into the display apparatus by combining it with the rear cover. The rear cover includes a stand accommodating portion that stores the stand member when not in use, and a stand coupling portion that secures the stand member when assembled. This merging ensures the stand cannot be lost while maintaining ease of assembly through the standardized coupling structure.
2Ease of operation
If the stand member is exposed on the rear side of the display apparatus, then the stand can be easily accessed for assembly, but the appearance is degraded when wall-mounted
Solution Approach 1:
The stand member is nested within the rear cover structure. The rear cover includes a stand accommodating portion that conceals the stand member when the display apparatus is wall-mounted. The stand member can be accessed through a opening or removable portion of the rear cover, allowing easy assembly while maintaining a clean aesthetic appearance when mounted.
3Reliability
If the stand member is integrated into the display apparatus structure, then the stand cannot be lost and aesthetics are improved, but the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The integration structure is segmented into distinct functional portions: a stand accommodating portion for storage, a stand coupling portion for securement, and a connection portion for attachment to the display apparatus. This segmentation allows each portion to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall simplicity. The coupling portion uses standardized features like protrusions and recesses or screw holes to simplify the assembly process despite the integrated structure.
4Reliability
If multiple coupling methods are provided for the stand member, then the stand can be securely fixed, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling structure provides dynamic assembly options where the stand member can be secured through multiple methods depending on the specific implementation. The rear cover includes both a stand coupling portion for primary attachment and additional screw coupling holes for enhanced security. This dynamic approach allows the coupling strength to be adjusted based on requirements while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design elements.

AI summary
A display apparatus according to a concept of the disclosure includes: a display panel configured to display an image in a front direction; a top chassis positioned in a front direction of the display panel; a bottom chassis positioned in a rear direction of the display panel; a rear cover covering a rear side of the bottom chassis; and a stand member being accommodatable in the rear cover and selectively coupled with a rear surface of the rear cover, wherein the rear cover includes an accommodating portion in which the stand member is accommodated and a coupling portion coupled with the stand member, and the stand member includes an inserting protrusion which is inserted into the accommodating portion and the coupling portion.
