Adjustable Display Mounting Module for Variable Board Thickness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices are limited in application due to their fixed base structure, which restricts the adjustment of the screen's angle and compatibility with different surfaces, particularly in terms of thickness and orientation.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a fixing module that includes a connecting element, a first abutting element, and a second abutting element, allowing for adjustable clamping of boards with varying thicknesses and orientations, using an elastic element to provide a clamping force and spacers to prevent wear, and optionally incorporating magnetic elements for stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the base is limited to lying flat on a flat surface, then the structure is simple and stable, but the application scope is limited and cannot accommodate different surfaces and orientations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static base structure into a dynamic one by introducing a fixing module with adjustable clamping arms that can adapt to different board orientations and thicknesses. The clamping arm can rotate and adjust its position to accommodate various installation scenarios, making the display device structure dynamic rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing module serves multiple functions: it can clamp boards of different thicknesses, accommodate different orientations (vertical, horizontal, angled), and provide stable mounting surfaces. This multi-functional design allows a single base structure to replace multiple specialized mounting solutions.
2Ease of operation
If the screen and base are rigidly connected, then the structure is stable, but the screen angle cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a pivotal connection between the screen and screen stand, transforming a rigid connection into a dynamic one. This allows the screen to rotate and adjust to different angles while maintaining structural integrity through the pivot mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device is divided into separable components (screen, screen stand, fixing module) connected through pivotal joints. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each component while maintaining overall structural stability through the connection mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed clamping structure is used, then the manufacturing is simple, but it cannot accommodate boards of different thicknesses
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping structure uses a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the second abutting element can rotate relative to the connecting element. This rotation allows the clamping arms to adapt to different board thicknesses while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the clamping structure by allowing rotation and adjustment of the abutting elements. This enables the same structure to accommodate varying board thicknesses without requiring multiple specialized components for each thickness.

AI summary
A display device includes a screen, a screen stand and a fixing module. The screen stand is pivotally connected to the screen. The fixing module is connected to the screen stand and configured to clamp a first surface and a second surface of a board and includes a connecting element, a first abutting element and a second abutting element. The first abutting element is fixed to the connecting element and configured to abut against the first surface of the board. The second abutting element is pivotally connected to the connecting element and includes an abutting end configured to abut against the second surface of the board.
