Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting devices for display devices lack the ability to easily adjust the height and angle of the display to suit various user environments, and they often require complex installation and detachment processes.

Innovation Solution

A mounting device comprising a driving plate, a body plate with a slide lock, and a stand plate, which allows for adjustable height and angle settings. The slide lock mechanism enables the device to switch between a ground mode and a stand mode, facilitating easy attachment and detachment of the display device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a mounting device provides adjustable height and angle functions, then viewing comfort is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing comfortVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms including a slide lock that transitions between locked and unlocked states to enable height adjustment, and a swivel lock that allows angle adjustment between landscape and portrait modes. These dynamic elements provide viewing comfort while maintaining structural manageability through state-based control rather than continuous adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting device is divided into functional segments: a driving plate for height adjustment, a body plate for angle adjustment, and a stand plate for support. Each segment has dedicated locking mechanisms (slide lock, swivel lock) that operate independently, allowing complex functionality to be achieved through modular, manageable components rather than a monolithic complex structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of time

If a mounting device allows easy attachment and detachment, then installation time is reduced, but structural stability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation timeVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device uses dynamic locking mechanisms that transition between locked and unlocked states. The slide lock engages with a slide groove to secure the driving plate, while the swivel lock fixes the body plate at desired angles. These mechanisms provide quick attachment and detachment while ensuring structural stability when locked, resolving the contradiction between ease of installation and structural reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting device supports various display sizes, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay size compatibilityVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device achieves universality through its adjustable height and angle capabilities. The driving plate with slide lock mechanism allows vertical positioning adjustment, while the body plate with swivel lock enables angle adjustment for different display orientations. This multi-functional design accommodates various display sizes and types without requiring multiple specialized mounting devices, maintaining structural efficiency while achieving broad adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A mounting device for a display device includes a driving plate, which includes: a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and configured to move integrally with the display device when the display device is attached to the first surface, a body plate disposed in parallel with the driving plate to contact at least a portion of the second surface of the driving plate and which includes a slide lock configured to restrict a linear movement of the driving plate, and a stand plate disposed on a surface opposite to a surface of the body plate coupled to the driving plate. The slide lock may remain locked in a ground mode in which the body plate and the stand plate overlap each other, and may be unlocked in a stand mode in which the body plate and the stand plate are spaced apart from each other.
