Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional hanging mechanisms for display devices, such as those used in the eSports market, face issues with unstable adhesion and potential damage to the casing when using hooks attached by glue or screws, respectively.
Innovation Solution
A hanging mechanism within the display device's casing, comprising a first covering component with a receiving space and a supporting component with movable block portions, allowing for adjustable angles and secure attachment without damaging the casing, utilizing a push-push connector and magnetic fixing elements for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a hook is attached to the lateral surface of the casing by glue, then the installation process is simple, but the supporting strength becomes unstable when the glue loses adhesion
Solution Approach 1:
The hanging mechanism is divided into separate components: a covering component that attaches to the casing and a supporting component that provides the hanging function. This segmentation allows the covering component to be easily installed while the supporting component maintains reliable strength through its structural design with movable block portions and stopping surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The covering component acts as an intermediary between the casing and the supporting component. It distributes the attachment force over a larger area and provides a stable base for the supporting component, thereby enhancing both installation ease and supporting strength stability simultaneously.
2Strength
If a hook is fixed to the lateral surface of the casing by a screw, then the bonding strength is improved, but the structure of the casing is easily damaged and the appearance becomes contrived
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful screw-fixing operation is extracted and replaced by a non-invasive attachment method. The covering component attaches to the casing without requiring screws that could damage the casing structure or compromise its smooth appearance, while still providing sufficient bonding strength through its design.
Solution Approach 2:
The covering component is designed as a disposable or replaceable element that protects the casing from damage. Instead of permanently modifying the casing with screws, the covering component can be attached and removed without leaving traces, preserving the casing's integrity and appearance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a hanging device is added to the display device, then the functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The covering component serves multiple functions: it attaches to the casing, provides structural support for the hanging mechanism, and maintains the aesthetic appearance of the display device. By combining these functions into a single component, the overall device complexity is minimized while achieving versatile hanging functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting component incorporates movable block portions that can move between a receiving space and an external position. This dynamic design allows the hanging mechanism to adapt to different hanging angles and positions without requiring complex fixed structures, thereby improving versatility while controlling complexity.

AI summary
A display device includes a casing and a hanging mechanism. The hanging mechanism is disposed within the casing and includes a covering component and a supporting component. The covering component is detachably disposed on the casing and has a receiving space and an opening. The supporting component is movably disposed within the receiving space and includes a first block portion and a second block portion. The first block portion is movably disposed within the receiving space in a first direction and configured to enter and exit from the receiving space. The first block portion includes a pivoting portion and a stopping portion connected with the pivoting portion. The second block portion is rotatably connected with the pivoting portion about a rotating axis. The first direction, the second direction and the rotating axis are perpendicular to one another.
