Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices are inflexible and inconvenient to move or reposition due to permanent or semi-permanent coupling with racks or mounts, requiring screws and nuts for installation or removal.

Innovation Solution

A coupling and releasing mechanism involving a mount assembly with a first kit and a second kit, where the first kit is rotated relative to the second kit, restricted by a rib assembly, allowing for removable and sturdy mounting between the display device and a rack or wall.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If screws and nuts are used to permanently couple the display device to the rack, then the structural integrity and stability are improved, but the flexibility and ease of repositioning deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into two separate kits: a first kit attached to the display device and a second kit attached to the rack. This segmentation allows the display device to be easily separated from the rack while maintaining strong coupling when assembled, resolving the contradiction between structural integrity and flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If screws and nuts are used for installation, then the secure mounting is improved, but the ease of operation and time required for installation/removal deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure mountingVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system transitions from a static permanent connection to a dynamic removable connection. The first and second kits can be easily assembled and disassembled without tools, allowing quick installation and removal while maintaining secure mounting when connected, thus reducing installation time while preserving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If a permanent coupling mechanism is used, then the stability of the mounted display device is improved, but the ease of repositioning deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidease of repositioning
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting solution extracts the coupling mechanism from being permanently integrated into the display device or rack. Instead, separate first and second kits are used that can be easily detached and reattached, allowing the display device to be repositioned or removed from the rack while maintaining stable mounting when installed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

Enables easy repositioning and removal of display devices by allowing rotation and decoupling from mounts, providing flexibility while maintaining structural integrity through magnetic attraction and repulsion mechanisms.

Implementation Method 1

When the first kit is rotated relative to the second kit, the rotation of the first kit is restricted by a rib assembly between the kit rib and the installation

AI summary

An electronic apparatus has a rear cover and a mount assembly coupled to the rear cover. The mount assembly has a first kit coupled to the rear cover and a second kit removably coupled to the first kit. The first kit has a first mount bracket and a kit rib. The second kit has a second mount bracket corresponding to the first mount bracket and an installation corresponding to the kit rib. When the first kit is rotated relative to the second kit, the rotation of the first kit is restricted by a rib assembly between the kit rib and the installation.
