Solution Overview

Problem

Existing flat panel television wall mounts are inadequate for mounting curved-surface televisions, leading to unfavorable mounting effects and instability due to poor fit and looseness.

Innovation Solution

A curved-surface television wall mount with two television mounting plates connected by hinges to supports, allowing for adjustable rotation to fit the curvature of the television, with mounting holes for secure fastening.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a flat panel television wall mount is used for curved-surface televisions, then the mounting structure is simple, but the mounting plate cannot fit to the rear surface of the curved-surface television well, leading to unfavorable mounting effect and looseness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting structure simplicityVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting plate is designed to rotate relative to the support through a hinge connection, allowing the mounting plate to dynamically adjust its angle to match the curved surface of the television. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the flat mounting structure to adapt to curved surfaces without compromising stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The wall mount is divided into distinct functional components: a fixed support connected to the wall, and a rotatable mounting plate connected to the support. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function - the support provides structural stability while the mounting plate provides adaptability to curved surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the television mounting plates are connected by hinges to the supports, then the curved-surface television can be mounted securely, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hinge connection introduces a single rotational degree of freedom, allowing the mounting plate to adjust to the curved surface. This minimal dynamic element provides the necessary adaptability without significantly increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The hinge-connected mounting plate structure serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables angular adjustment to match curved surfaces, and maintains mounting stability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Disclosed is a curved-surface television wall mount, including a wall panel (1) mounted on a wall surface, and two television mounting plates (2) disposed on the wall panel (1) for mounting a television. The curved-surface television wall mount further includes two supports (3) disposed on the wall panel (1), and the backs of the two television mounting plates (2) are respectively connected by hinges to the two supports (3). When a curved-surface television is mounted by using this structure, the front sides of the television mounting plates can fit to the back of the curved-surface television, thus avoiding deviation, instability or looseness when tightening a fastener, and successfully mounting the curved-surface television.
