Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for mounting flat televisions on walls do not allow for adjustable viewing angles, limiting user flexibility and diverse usage requirements.

Innovation Solution

A display screen bracket with a linkage mechanism that enables the television to be swung about a first axis for leftward and rightward adjustment, and a second axis for upward and downward adjustment, using self-driving motors and links to facilitate flexible mounting and positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an immovable bracket is used to mount the flat television on the wall, then the mounting structure is simple and stable, but the watching angle cannot be adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of watching angleVSAvoidcomplexity of bracket structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket transforms from a static immovable structure to a dynamic adjustable structure by incorporating linkage mechanisms with motors that enable the display screen to swing about a first axis and adjust pitch angle about a second axis, allowing real-time modification of viewing angles while maintaining structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket is divided into multiple independent functional modules including a first linkage mechanism for leftward and rightward rotation, a second linkage mechanism for pitch angle adjustment, and multiple support bodies, allowing each module to perform specific adjustment functions independently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If support bases are used to place the flat television on a cabinet, then the bracket structure is simple, but a relatively large space is occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace occupied by mounting systemVSAvoidease of wall mounting operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket is designed to perform multiple functions: mounting the display screen on the wall, enabling leftward and rightward rotation about a first axis, and allowing pitch angle adjustment about a second axis, replacing the need for separate support bases and cabinet space

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a display screen bracket. The display screen bracket includes a first support body configured to carry a display screen, a second support body disposed opposite to the first support body, and a first linkage mechanism configured to connect the first support body to the second support body. By means of linkage of the first linkage mechanism, a display screen is swingable about a first axis of the display screen. In this way, watching requirements for different positions and angles are satisfied.
