Display Bracket Assembly With Push-Button Clamping Lock
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bracket assemblies for display devices require labor and material-intensive threaded locking, leading to insecure locking issues, increased packaging costs, and cumbersome user assembly and disassembly processes.
Innovation Solution
A bracket assembly with a button and reset element that allows for quick disassembly and assembly without threaded connectors, featuring a button that moves between locking and unlocking positions, and a reset element that maintains the locking state, enabling efficient and cost-effective assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded locking is used for bracket assembly, then locking reliability is improved, but assembly complexity and labor requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the threading function from the locking mechanism and replaces it with a simple clamping structure. The bracket uses a clamping portion that engages with a corresponding feature on the mounting surface, eliminating the need for threaded connectors while maintaining secure attachment. This simplifies the assembly process significantly.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket assembly is segmented into distinct functional components: a body portion for structural support, a clamping portion for secure attachment, and a button mechanism for easy release. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, with the clamping portion providing reliable attachment and the button providing simple operation.
2Strength
If threaded locking is used for bracket assembly, then locking strength is improved, but disassembly time and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The button mechanism is designed to be self-operating - when pressed, it automatically releases the clamping portion without requiring tools or complex manipulation. The button's movement directly actuates the release mechanism, allowing users to quickly disassemble the bracket by simply pressing the button with their finger.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping portion is designed with dynamic characteristics that allow it to maintain strong engagement during normal use but release quickly when activated. The mechanism transitions from a locked state with high holding force to an unlocked state with minimal resistance, enabling rapid disassembly while maintaining strong attachment during operation.
3Reliability
If threaded locking is used for bracket assembly, then connection security is improved, but manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket uses inexpensive materials and simple manufacturing processes for the clamping portion. Instead of requiring precision-threaded metal connectors, the design employs molded plastic or simple metal stamping for the clamping feature, significantly reducing material costs and manufacturing complexity while maintaining adequate connection security for the application.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution facilitates rapid assembly and disassembly of the bracket assembly, reducing costs and improving user convenience, while ensuring secure engagement and shielding of clamping portions to prevent damage and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the display device.
Implementation Method 1
a reset element, disposed between the button and the head, the reset element being configured to keep the button portion in the first position and keep the clamping portion in the locking state

AI summary
A bracket assembly and a display device including the same are disclosed. The bracket assembly includes: a body; a head, pivotally connected with the body; and a button, mounted on the head and configured to move together with the head. The button includes: a button portion configured to move between a first position and a second position, and a clamping portion. The clamping portion is configured to be in a locking state in condition that the button portion is in the first position and to be in an unlocking state in condition that the button portion is in the second position. The bracket assembly further includes a reset element disposed between the button and the head and configured to keep the button portion in the first position and keep the clamping portion in the locking state.
