Integrated Display Arm and Speaker for Flexible Screen Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display systems with adjustable mounts are limited in flexibility, requiring fixed installation and often necessitate separate space for an independent speaker with inferior sound quality.
Innovation Solution
A display system incorporating a speaker with a sliding trough and a display with a second sliding trough, connected by an arm with pivotable segments and bolts, allowing for adjustable positioning and orientation of the display and speaker, and enabling the speaker to be securely fastened to various surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display is mounted on a fixed location with a traditional mount, then the installation structure is simple, but the display cannot be adjusted horizontally or laterally, reducing operational convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting arm is divided into multiple segments that can be independently adjusted. The first arm segment connects to the display, the second arm segment connects to the audio output device, and they are joined through a joint mechanism. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each segment's position and orientation, enabling horizontal and lateral movement of the display while maintaining structural manageability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure transitions from a fixed rigid connection to a dynamic adjustable system. The joint between arm segments includes rotation and translation capabilities, allowing the display to move horizontally and laterally. The sliding mechanism within the joint enables continuous position adjustment, providing dynamic adaptability while the structure remains manageable through controlled degrees of freedom.
2Adaptability or versatility
If an independent speaker is installed separately from the display, then the sound quality can be improved, but additional installation space is required
Solution Approach 1:
The audio output device is integrated into the display system by mounting it on the second arm segment, which is connected to the first arm segment that holds the display. This merging of functions allows the audio device to be positioned close to the display without requiring separate installation space, while still maintaining independent adjustability through the arm mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting arm structure serves multiple functions: it supports the display, positions the audio output device, and provides adjustment mechanisms for both components. The joint mechanism simultaneously enables horizontal movement of the display and lateral positioning of the audio device, making the structure universally applicable to both functions without requiring additional space.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display is mounted at a fixed position, then the mounting structure is simple, but it is difficult to adjust the display in tight spaces with reflection issues
Solution Approach 1:
The arm is segmented into multiple adjustable sections that can be independently positioned. The first arm segment holds the display and can be adjusted horizontally, while the second arm segment holds the audio device and can be adjusted laterally. This segmentation allows the display to be positioned in tight spaces and angled to avoid reflection issues, with each segment contributing to the overall adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure adds multiple dimensions of adjustment beyond simple vertical positioning. The display can move horizontally along the first arm segment, tilt vertically at the joint, and the entire assembly can be positioned laterally through the second arm segment. This multi-dimensional adjustment capability enables installation in tight spaces and optimization of viewing angles to avoid reflections.

AI summary
The display system includes an audio output device configured with a first sliding trough, a display configured with a second sliding trough, and an arm having a first end and a second end. A first bolt is configured at the first end, and a second bolt is configured at the second end. The first bolt is slidably embedded in the first sliding trough and the second bolt is slidably joined to the second sliding trough. The arm includes a number of segments and at least one pivot. The segments are end-to-end joined by the at least one pivot so that the segments selectively rotate relative to each other. The display system may adjust the relative positions of the display and the audio output device. The display may also turn horizontally, tilt vertically, or move laterally, greatly enhancing its operation convenience.
