Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatus mounting solutions do not allow for easy vertical movement of the display apparatus body while maintaining a sleek, space-efficient design and user-friendly operation, particularly when mounted on a wall.
Innovation Solution
A wall mounting apparatus that includes wire hanging members, a guide member for vertical movement, and an electromotive module with a motor, gears, and pulleys to drive the movement, along with a user interface for remote control operation, ensuring the apparatus body can be moved upward and downward while being concealed from view.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a wall mounting apparatus is designed to allow vertical movement of the display apparatus body, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for electromotive modules, guide members, and wire hanging mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting apparatus is divided into distinct functional modules: wire hanging members attached to the display apparatus, a wire connecting the hanging members, a guide member that moves vertically while supporting the wire, and a base member fixed to the wall. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall system design and making it easier to implement vertical movement capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire acts as an intermediary element that transmits the driving force from the electromotive module to the display apparatus body. The guide member serves as an intermediary that guides the vertical movement while supporting the wire, enabling smooth motion without direct mechanical connection between the motor and the display apparatus.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the guide member is made long enough to provide sufficient vertical movement range, then the adaptability is improved, but it becomes visible from the front of the display apparatus, worsening the appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member is designed to operate primarily in the vertical dimension (depth direction from the wall) rather than extending in the horizontal dimension (front view). By positioning the guide member to move along the depth axis and using the wire to transmit force, the system achieves sufficient vertical movement range while keeping the guide member concealed behind the display apparatus, maintaining a clean aesthetic appearance from the front.
3Power
If the electromotive module is designed to provide sufficient drive force for vertical movement, then the power is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple components like motor, gears, pulleys, and drive wires
Solution Approach 1:
The electromotive module combines multiple components (motor, gears, pulleys, and drive wire) into an integrated unit mounted on the base member. The motor generates rotational force that is transmitted through gears to rotate pulleys, which in turn wind or unwind the drive wire to generate linear pulling force. This merging of components into a single modular unit simplifies installation and maintenance while providing sufficient drive force for vertical movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex direct mechanical transmission with a wire-based transmission mechanism. Instead of using a long mechanical shaft or linkage to transmit force from the motor to the display apparatus, the invention uses a flexible wire that can be wound on pulleys, providing mechanical advantage and force multiplication while simplifying the mechanical structure.
4Ease of manufacture
If the wire hanging members are fixed to the rear of the apparatus body, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the additional wire and guide member components
Solution Approach 1:
The wire hanging members are pre-fixed to the rear of the display apparatus body during the manufacturing process, before the apparatus is installed on the wall. This preliminary action simplifies the final installation process, as the wire hanging members are already in position and ready to engage with the wire and guide member components. It also ensures proper alignment and reduces installation complexity.

AI summary
A wall mount for a display apparatus to vertically move an apparatus body of the display apparatus in an electromotive manner and a display apparatus having the same are provided. A wire is mounted at the rear of the apparatus body. The wall mount includes a plurality of wire hanging members fixed to a rear of the apparatus; a wire connected between the wire hanging members; a guide member which is configure to move vertically while supporting the wire, to thereby move the apparatus vertically, the guide member not being exposed when the apparatus is viewed from a front of the apparatus; and a base member which is configured to be fixed to the wall to vertically move the guide member in an electromotive manner.
