Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices lack a mechanism for fine adjustment of the module cover's attitude and alignment with a wall bracket, limiting their positioning flexibility and ease of use.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a module cover with elongated openings and pins that allow for sliding and tilting adjustments, enabling precise alignment and attitude adjustment without detaching from the wall bracket.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed fastening structure is used to attach the module cover to the wall bracket, then the structural stability is improved, but the positioning flexibility and ease of adjustment are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidpositioning flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening structure transitions from a completely fixed state to a dynamically adjustable state. The elongated openings allow the module cover to be positioned at multiple angles and locations along the bracket, enabling users to adjust the positioning while maintaining structural stability when fastened.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening structure is divided into discrete adjustment positions along the elongated openings, allowing the module cover to be secured at specific intervals. This segmentation provides multiple predetermined positioning options while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional fastening holes are used, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the fine adjustment capability is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidfine adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The openings transition from fixed circular holes to elongated dynamic slots that enable continuous adjustment within a range. This allows precise positioning along the length of the elongated openings while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standard machining processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If the module cover is firmly fixed to the wall bracket, then the stability is improved, but the ease of adjustment is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidease of adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening system allows the module cover to be securely fixed at chosen positions for stable operation, while simultaneously enabling easy repositioning by loosening and adjusting along the elongated openings. This dynamic capability provides both stability during use and ease of adjustment when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
