Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting devices for flat-screen electronic displays lack precision in post-installation adjustment, leading to misalignment issues due to structural limitations and imprecise fasteners, which detract from the aesthetic appeal of the installation.

Innovation Solution

A mounting system with vertically shiftable wall brackets and cross-supports, utilizing spherical bearings for floating connections, allowing for independent vertical and horizontal adjustment of the display's position and orientation, along with tilt-adjustable display interface brackets for precise alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional rigid mounting devices are used, then structural stability is maintained, but positioning precision and alignment accuracy deteriorate due to inability to adjust after installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device incorporates adjustable carrier assemblies that can be vertically shifted along the wall brackets after installation. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the cross-supports and displayed object to be repositioned to achieve precise alignment, resolving the contradiction between initial rigid installation and subsequent positioning precision requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting device is divided into separate adjustable components: wall brackets fixed to the structure, vertically adjustable carrier assemblies, and cross-supports that can be independently positioned. This segmentation enables precise post-installation adjustment of each component to achieve optimal positioning while maintaining overall structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If precise initial positioning is required during installation, then alignment accuracy improves, but installation difficulty and time increase due to strict positioning requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment accuracyVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wall brackets are pre-installed on the structure at convenient locations, and the carrier assemblies are pre-configured with adjustment mechanisms. This preliminary preparation allows installers to focus on final positioning adjustments rather than requiring perfect initial placement, thereby improving alignment accuracy without significantly increasing installation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable carrier assemblies enable post-installation positioning adjustments, allowing installers to achieve precise alignment after the initial mounting is complete. This dynamic adjustment capability eliminates the need for strict initial positioning requirements, thereby improving alignment accuracy while maintaining installation ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If adjustable mounting mechanisms are added, then post-installation positioning precision improves, but device complexity and number of components increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The carrier assemblies serve multiple functions: they support the cross-supports, enable vertical adjustment of the displayed object, and provide a interface for securing the cross-supports. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate adjustment mechanisms, thereby improving positioning precision while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment mechanism is integrated into the carrier assemblies that are already part of the mounting structure. The vertical shifting capability is combined with the support and securing functions in a single integrated component, thereby achieving precise positioning without proportionally increasing the number of separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A display mount with post-installation adjustment features according to embodiments of the present disclosure addresses the above-mentioned needs of the industry. The mount may include two or more wall brackets, each having a vertically shiftable carrier assembly. Cross-supports extend between the carrier assemblies and are received in floating connection structures in the carriers. An electronic display display is coupled with the cross-supports. The carrier assembly of each wall bracket is independently vertically shiftable to shift the orientation of the cross-supports, and thereby adjust the vertical position and orientation of the electronic display device coupled with the cross-supports. The electronic display may be coupled to the cross-supports with display interface brackets which are tilt-adjustable to change the tilt position of the display device.
