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, compromising both support strength and appearance.

Innovation Solution

A hanging mechanism integrated within the display device's casing, featuring a first covering component with a receiving space and a supporting component that includes a pivoting and stopping portion, allowing for adjustable angles and secure attachment without damaging the casing, using a push-push connector and magnetic fixing elements for enhanced stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a hook is attached to the lateral surface of the casing by glue, then the installation is simple, but the supporting strength is unstable and the hook will fall off

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidsupporting strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The hook is extracted from the external attachment method (glue or screw on lateral surface) and integrated into an internal mechanism within the casing. The hanging mechanism includes a supporting component with a blocking component that engages with a groove, removing the need for external attachment while providing stable support through mechanical engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

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 easy to be damaged and the appearance is contrived

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidcasing appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The hook is removed from the lateral surface of the casing and repositioned to the rear surface through an internal mechanism. This extraction eliminates the need for screws or glue on the lateral surface, preventing damage to the casing structure and maintaining the smooth appearance while still providing strong bonding through the internal blocking component and groove engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging mechanism is nested within the casing structure. The supporting component with the blocking component is housed inside the casing, with the hook extending outward only when needed. This nesting allows the mechanism to provide strong support while remaining hidden and preserving the casing's aesthetic appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a hanging device is added to the display device, then the functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehanging functionalityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging mechanism is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides a hanging function for headband receivers or other objects, maintains the smooth appearance of the casing, and integrates seamlessly with the existing display device structure. The blocking component and groove engagement system provide both structural support and aesthetic preservation, making the mechanism universally applicable without adding excessive complexity.

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

AI summary

A display device includes a casing (110) and a hanging mechanism (120). The hanging mechanism (120) is disposed within the casing (110) and includes a covering component (121) and a supporting component (124). The covering component (121) is detachably disposed in the casing (110) and has a receiving space (121r) and an opening (121a). The supporting component (124) is movably disposed within the receiving space (121r) and includes a first block portion (1241) and a second block portion (1242). The first block portion (1241) is movably disposed within the receiving space (121r) in a first direction and configured to enter and exit from the receiving space (121r). The first block portion (1241) includes a pivoting portion (1241a) and a stopping portion (1241b) connected with the pivoting portion (1241a). The second block portion (1242) is rotatably connected with the pivoting portion (1241a) about a rotating axis. The first direction, the second direction and the rotating axis are perpendicular to one another.
