Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wall-mounted display devices face difficulties in adjusting viewing angles due to cumbersome mechanisms, struggle with supporting large TVs, and require additional processing and increased costs for manufacturing, while also compromising the aesthetic appearance with exposed wires.

Innovation Solution

A lifting device with a tilting unit and wire fixing mechanism that uses VESA holes for secure mounting, rotating arms for easy angle adjustment, and anti-separation portions to prevent wire separation, ensuring the display is securely fastened without additional processing and maintaining a clean appearance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a wire fixing part is provided at the back cover to fix the wire, then the wire can be secured to the display apparatus, but the wire fixing part has difficulty in firmly supporting a large-size wall-mounted TV and may be damaged by the weight of the TV thus causing an accident such as releasing from the back cover and dropping the wall-mounted TV

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire fixation reliabilityVSAvoidsupport strength for large-size TV
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The lifting device is divided into multiple independent components: a back cover, a separate lifting bracket assembly, and a wire fixing part. The lifting bracket is detachably coupled to the back cover, allowing the wire fixing part to be integrated with the lifting bracket rather than the back cover itself. This segmentation distributes the load-bearing function to the lifting bracket while keeping the wire fixation function separate, resolving the contradiction between wire fixation reliability and support strength for large TVs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lifting bracket serves as an intermediary component between the back cover and the wire fixing part. Instead of directly coupling the wire fixing part to the back cover, the lifting bracket mediates this connection, providing a robust structural foundation that can support large-size TVs while still enabling wire fixation. This intermediary structure resolves the strength limitation of direct back cover integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If the wire fixing part is integrally formed with the back cover, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but additional processing is still required and manufacturing costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidnumber of manufacturing processes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the lifting bracket from the back cover and integrating the wire fixing part with the lifting bracket, the invention eliminates the need for additional wire fixing part processing on the back cover. The lifting bracket is manufactured as a separate component with the wire fixing part already integrated, reducing the number of manufacturing processes required for the back cover assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lifting bracket is designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support for the display apparatus, enabling angle adjustment through rotating arms, and integrating the wire fixing functionality. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate wire fixing part processing on the back cover, simplifying manufacturing while reducing device complexity.

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

3Ease of operation

If the wire is exposed to an area outside of the display apparatus, then the wire can be easily connected, but the outer appearance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire connection easeVSAvoidouter appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The wire is nested within the lifting bracket structure, which itself is coupled to the back cover. The wire fixing part is integrated into the lifting bracket, allowing the wire to be securely connected while remaining concealed within the structural components rather than being exposed externally. This nesting approach maintains ease of wire connection while improving outer appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The lifting bracket and back cover assembly act as a protective shell that encloses the wire and wire fixing part. This shell structure allows the wire to be easily connected during installation while preventing it from being exposed to the external environment, thus maintaining a clean aesthetic appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

4Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional angle adjustor is used requiring direct rotation of upper and lower pivoting parts, then the viewing angle can be adjusted, but the adjustment process is difficult and time consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle adjustment capabilityVSAvoidangle adjustment ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The lifting bracket incorporates rotating arms that can rotate relative to the back cover, providing dynamic angle adjustment capability. This rotating mechanism allows the display apparatus to be tilted to various viewing angles while maintaining a simple operational interface, improving ease of operation compared to conventional pivoting part mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention replaces the complex mechanical system of upper and lower pivoting parts with a simpler rotating arm mechanism. The rotating arms provide the necessary angular adjustment functionality through a single rotational degree of freedom, eliminating the complexity of multiple pivoting joints while maintaining viewing angle adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
