Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display mounting structures lack the ability to adjust the position of wall-mounted display devices effectively in both horizontal and vertical directions due to manufacturing and assembly tolerances, limiting their placement flexibility.

Innovation Solution

A mounting structure comprising at least two assemblies with a rotatable but non-displaceable screw rod and a U-shaped bended structure that allows for horizontal adjustment by rotating a driving component, enabling the display device to be positioned forward or backward, and vertical adjustment through a threaded rod system, facilitating precise placement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed bracket with adjusting bolts is used to mount display devices, then the position can be adjusted within limited range, but the adjusting bolt cannot move the wall-mounting member rightward when threaded outwards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition adjustment capabilityVSAvoidadjustment range in horizontal direction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static mounting structure into a dynamic one by introducing a movable component that can slide along the mounting beam. The wall-mounting member is no longer fixed in position but can be dynamically adjusted along the beam's length, enabling continuous horizontal positioning adjustments beyond the limited range of traditional adjusting bolts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is divided into separable components: a movable wall-mounting member that can be independently positioned along the mounting beam. This segmentation allows the mounting member to be detached and repositioned at different locations, providing versatile adjustment capability that overcomes the limitation of fixed-position adjusting bolts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If adjusting bolts are used to compensate for manufacturing and assembly tolerances, then gaps between components can be adjusted, but the structure becomes complex with multiple threaded components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegap adjustment for tolerance compensationVSAvoidnumber of adjusting components
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the adjustment function from complex threaded components and integrates it into a simplified sliding mechanism. Instead of using multiple adjusting bolts with threads, the design employs a movable wall-mounting member that slides along the mounting beam, eliminating the need for threaded adjustment components while maintaining the ability to compensate for manufacturing tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a sliding mechanism as an intermediary between the mounting beam and the display device. This intermediary component absorbs the manufacturing and assembly tolerances through its sliding capability, eliminating the need for complex adjusting bolts and reducing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If a rotatable but non-displaceable screw rod is used in the mounting assembly, then horizontal adjustment is enabled through rotation, but the screw rod cannot move axially relative to the first component

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehorizontal adjustment through rotationVSAvoidaxial displacement of screw rod
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates an asymmetric functional relationship in the screw rod mechanism: the screw rod is allowed to rotate freely to enable horizontal adjustment, but its axial position is constrained to remain non-displaceable. This asymmetric constraint arrangement separates the rotational adjustment function from axial positioning, allowing independent control of horizontal position without compromising the mounting structure's stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
