Articulating Display Mount With Vertical Height and Leveling Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display mounts offer limited adjustment options after installation, making it difficult to achieve precise positioning and leveling of displays, especially with minimal vertical and horizontal adjustment capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The display mount system includes a wall bracket, articulating arms, a mount head assembly, and mechanisms for vertical and horizontal adjustment, featuring a drive mechanism with a lead screw and gear assembly for vertical height adjustment, and rollers or sliders for horizontal adjustment, along with a leveling mechanism to ensure the display is properly aligned.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display mount is installed on the wall, then the display can be mounted securely, but the adjustment range for vertical and horizontal positioning is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is divided into multiple independent components: a wall bracket fixed to the wall, an adjustable arm assembly with multiple segments, and a display mounting plate. This segmentation allows each component to perform specific functions while providing cumulative adjustment range throughout the assembly, resolving the contradiction between limited adjustment and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount transitions from a static fixed-position design to a dynamic multi-degree-of-freedom system. The adjustable arm assembly incorporates pivot joints and sliding mechanisms that enable vertical, horizontal, and angular adjustments, allowing the display to be positioned at multiple locations while maintaining secure mounting.
2Ease of operation
If adjustment mechanisms are added to increase positioning flexibility, then vertical and horizontal adjustment range improves, but the complexity of the mount increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanisms are designed to be self-contained and self-explanatory, with each adjustment feature (vertical, horizontal, angular) operating independently through intuitive mechanical interfaces. Users can make adjustments without requiring complex procedures or specialized knowledge, as each mechanism serves its specific function autonomously.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable arm assembly serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides vertical adjustment, horizontal adjustment, angular positioning, and load support. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate mechanisms into a single integrated assembly, improving positioning flexibility without proportionally increasing overall complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the mount allows extensive articulating motion, then positioning versatility improves, but maintaining level alignment becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mount incorporates level indicators or alignment references that provide visual feedback to users during adjustment. This feedback mechanism allows users to monitor the level alignment in real-time as they move the display through its articulating range, ensuring precise horizontal alignment is maintained regardless of the position or angle of the display.
