Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a simple fixed wall mount assembly is used, then the device is easy to manufacture and install, but the display module cannot be adjusted in vertical and horizontal directions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of display moduleVSAvoidcomplexity of wall mount assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly incorporates movable components including a sliding mechanism with first and second spacers that can move along guide rails, and a rotating mechanism with a rotating member that enables angular adjustment. These dynamic elements allow the display module to be adjusted in multiple directions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The wall mount assembly is divided into distinct functional modules: a fixing part for mounting to the wall, a frame holding the display module, a sliding mechanism for horizontal/vertical adjustment, and a rotating mechanism for angular adjustment. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying manufacturing and assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If a wall mount assembly with multiple motion capabilities is implemented, then user flexibility is improved, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of positioning display moduleVSAvoidstructural complexity of wall mount assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly includes self-adjusting features where the sliding mechanism automatically positions the display module along the guide rails, and the rotating mechanism enables intuitive angular adjustment. The locking mechanism automatically secures the module in the desired position, reducing the need for complex control systems or multiple adjustment steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The assembly incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through the sliding mechanism that moves along guide rails and the rotating mechanism that enables angular positioning. These dynamic components provide smooth, continuous adjustment ranges while maintaining structural integrity through carefully designed mechanical linkages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If spacers are allowed to move freely in tilting holes, then adjustment flexibility is improved, but the display module may become unstable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion flexibility of spacersVSAvoidstability of display module positioning
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The spacers are designed to move dynamically within the tilting holes along controlled paths, enabling tilting adjustment while maintaining stability through the constraint of the hole geometry. The locking mechanism provides dynamic stabilization by securing the spacers in the desired tilted positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The tilting holes act as intermediary elements that guide and constrain the motion of the spacers, allowing controlled tilting movement while preventing excessive or unstable displacement. The locking mechanism serves as an intermediary that secures the spacers in position, mediating between the need for motion flexibility and positional stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
