Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting devices for flat-screen electronic displays lack precision in post-installation adjustment, often resulting in misalignment due to structural limitations and imprecise fasteners, which detracts from the aesthetic appeal of the installation.

Innovation Solution

A display mount with post-installation adjustment features, including vertically shiftable wall brackets and cross-supports with floating connection structures, allowing for independent vertical and horizontal adjustment of the display's position and orientation, along with tilt-adjustable display interface brackets to ensure precise alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional mounting devices are used with fixed fasteners, then installation is simple, but positioning precision and alignment accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidmounting device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device incorporates adjustable carriers that can be repositioned along the wall brackets after installation. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the cross-supports to be precisely positioned vertically and horizontally, resolving the contradiction between simple installation and positioning precision by enabling post-installation fine-tuning without requiring complex precision fasteners.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting device is divided into separate adjustable components: wall brackets, carriers, and cross-supports. Each component can be independently positioned and adjusted, allowing precision alignment to be achieved through cumulative adjustments of multiple segments rather than requiring high-precision single-point fastening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If strict attention is paid during installation to ensure optimal positioning, then alignment accuracy improves, but installation time and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wall brackets are pre-installed on the wall structure first, establishing a rough positioning framework. The carriers are then attached to these brackets and can be independently adjusted to achieve precise alignment. This preliminary action separates the rough positioning (done during installation) from fine positioning (done through adjustment), improving alignment accuracy without significantly increasing installation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable carriers enable post-installation refinement of alignment. Instead of requiring perfect positioning during the static installation process, the system allows dynamic adjustment after installation, thereby achieving high alignment accuracy while maintaining simple installation procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If fasteners are used to secure the mounting device to the wall, then structural stability is achieved, but positioning precision deteriorates due to fastener imprecision and shifting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidpositioning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system separates the structural support function (performed by wall brackets and fasteners) from the positioning function (performed by adjustable carriers). This segmentation allows standard fasteners to provide reliable structural stability while the adjustable carriers independently provide precise positioning, eliminating the trade-off between stability and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable carriers act as intermediaries between the wall brackets and the cross-supports. They decouple the structural connection (which requires stability from fasteners) from the positioning requirement (which requires precision), allowing each function to be optimized independently without compromising the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If the display mount is fixed during installation, then structural stability is maintained, but post-installation adjustment capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment capabilityVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device transitions from a static fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The carriers can be moved along the wall brackets and locked at different positions, providing adaptability for precise alignment while maintaining structural stability through the rigid connection between wall brackets, carriers, and cross-supports once positioned.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into adjustable components (carriers on wall brackets) that can be independently positioned. This segmentation provides adaptability for post-installation adjustment while each segment maintains structural integrity, ensuring overall system stability is preserved during and after adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A display mount with post-installation adjustment features according to embodiments of the present disclosure addresses the above-mentioned needs of the industry. The mount may include two or more wall brackets, each having a vertically shiftable carrier assembly. Cross-supports extend between the carrier assemblies and are received in floating connection structures in the carriers. An electronic display display is coupled with the cross-supports. The carrier assembly of each wall bracket is independently vertically shiftable to shift the orientation of the cross-supports, and thereby adjust the vertical position and orientation of the electronic display device coupled with the cross-supports. The electronic display may be coupled to the cross-supports with display interface brackets which are tilt-adjustable to change the tilt position of the display device.
