Convertible Display Stand for Standing and Wall-Mounted Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses lack a versatile stand solution that can seamlessly transition between a standing and wall-mounted configuration while maintaining a slim profile and high light transmittance, which limits user flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
Innovation Solution
A convertible stand with a rail bracket, support, and base system that allows the display apparatus to switch between standing and wall-mounted states, featuring high light transmittance components and adjustable angles, and includes electrodes for power supply, ensuring a sleek and functional design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a stand structure is added to support the display apparatus, then the display apparatus can be positioned on furniture surfaces, but the thickness and slim profile of the display apparatus are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is divided into multiple separate components: a rail bracket that attaches to the rear cover, a support member that connects the bracket to the base, and a base for furniture surface contact. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, enabling a slim overall profile while providing stable support functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand components are designed to extend primarily in the depth direction (from front to back) rather than increasing the thickness from front to back. The rail bracket attaches to the rear cover and extends backward, the support member connects vertically, and the base provides a wide footprint on the furniture surface, utilizing three-dimensional space efficiently to maintain a slim profile.
2Strength
If the stand components are made opaque for structural strength, then the mechanical strength is improved, but the aesthetic appeal and light transmittance are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The stand components, particularly the support member, are designed with varying local qualities - certain regions have enhanced thickness or reinforcement for structural strength, while other regions maintain high light transmittance for aesthetic appeal. This allows different parts of the same component to serve different functions optimally.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand components utilize composite material structures that combine materials or material configurations providing both mechanical strength and optical transparency. This enables the stand to achieve adequate structural support while maintaining high light transmittance properties for aesthetic integration with the display apparatus.
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed stand configuration is used, then the manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different installation methods is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The stand components are designed with universal features that enable multiple installation configurations. The rail bracket can be attached to the rear cover in different orientations, the support member allows angular adjustment, and the base can contact furniture surfaces at various positions, enabling the same components to serve both standing and wall-mounted installation methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities where components can be repositioned or reconfigured during installation and use. The support member allows angular adjustment, and the components can be assembled in different configurations to accommodate various installation scenarios, providing versatility without requiring multiple dedicated stand designs.
