Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display devices with individual power supply units and power cables create inconvenient construction and visual interference when forming a TV wall, as the power cables obstruct close attachment to the wall and affect the visual aesthetics.

Innovation Solution

A display device and wall mount module design featuring conducting pillars and members that allow for electrical contact without increasing the module's thickness, enabling the power cable to supply power through hidden conducting members, allowing the device to be mounted closer to the wall without visual obstruction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the power cable is connected to the device body directly, then the power supply is reliable, but the power cable obstructs close attachment to the wall and affects visual aesthetics

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower supply reliabilityVSAvoidattachment distance to wall

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the power cable connection from the device body and relocates it to the wall mount module. The conducting members are integrated into the wall mount module, allowing power transmission without the cable being visible or obstructing the attachment to the wall. This separates the power supply function from the visual front surface of the display device.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The conducting members (first and second conducting members) serve as intermediaries between the wall mount module and the device body. They enable electrical power transmission through the wall mount module itself, eliminating the need for an external power cable that would otherwise be visible and obstructive.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the conducting member is exposed on the bracket, then electrical contact is achieved, but the total thickness of the wall mount module increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveelectrical contact reliabilityVSAvoidwall mount module thickness

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The conducting members are nested within the wall mount module structure, specifically disposed between the first and second brackets. The first conducting member is positioned between the first cover and the first bracket, while the second conducting member is positioned between the second cover and the second bracket. This nesting allows electrical contact without increasing the overall thickness of the wall mount module.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If individual power supply units are equipped for each display device, then power supply independence is ensured, but construction convenience is reduced due to multiple power cables

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepower supply independenceVSAvoidconstruction convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the power supply function into the wall mount module itself. The wall mount module now performs dual functions: mechanical mounting and power transmission. This eliminates the need for separate power cables for each device while maintaining power supply independence through the integrated conducting members.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The wall mount module is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a mechanical mounting structure and as a power transmission medium. The conducting members integrated into the wall mount module enable the module to provide both structural support and electrical power, reducing construction complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
