Display Installation Tool With Threaded Lifter for Wall Mount Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of wall-mounted displays is challenging for a single person due to the weight and bulk of the displays, making it difficult to align and connect them to a wall mount.
Innovation Solution
An installation tool with a lifter mechanism that uses a threaded rod and worm gear assembly to raise the display into alignment with a wall mount, allowing a single person to safely and easily connect the display to the wall mount.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single person attempts to manually lift and connect the display to the wall mount, then the installation process requires minimal equipment, but the display cannot be safely aligned and connected due to its weight and bulk
Solution Approach 1:
The installation tool serves as an intermediary device between the display and the wall mount. It includes a holder that receives the display, a threaded rod that engages with the wall mount, and a lifter mechanism that moves the holder along the threaded rod to lift the display into position. This intermediary tool enables a single person to safely handle and install heavy displays without direct manual lifting.
Solution Approach 2:
The installation tool is divided into functional segments: a holder for receiving the display, a threaded rod for engagement with the wall mount, stops for positioning, and a lifter mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall installation process manageable for one person.
2Manufacturing precision
If the display is lifted manually without assistance, then equipment requirements are minimized, but alignment precision with the wall mount cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The threaded rod is预先 installed and secured to the wall mount at the desired location before the display installation. The holder is equipped with stops that can be positioned at specific heights along the threaded rod. This preliminary setup ensures that when the display is lifted into the holder, it automatically aligns with the wall mount at the correct position, eliminating the need for complex real-time adjustment mechanisms.
3Reliability
If a mechanical lifting system is used to raise the display, then safe handling is enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lifter mechanism utilizes the threaded rod's own threads as part of the lifting mechanism. The lifter engages with the threaded rod, and as the lifter is rotated or actuated, it moves along the threaded rod, converting rotational motion into linear lifting motion. This self-service approach uses the existing structural elements (threaded rod) to provide the lifting function, reducing the need for additional complex mechanical components.

AI summary
An installation tool for mounting a display on a wall having a wall mount includes a first leg and a second leg disposed in parallel relationship with the first leg. A crossbar is slidably connected to the first leg and the second leg. A holder is configured to accept the display, the holder slidably connected to the first leg and the second leg. A threaded rod includes a connector for engaging the cross bar. A lifter is configured to lift the holder, the lifter positionable along the threaded rod. The display if installed in the installation tool and lifted to a vertical position where it can be connected to the wall mount.
