Solution Overview

Problem

Existing supporting devices for displays are structurally complex and costly to manufacture due to the need for intricate coordination between multiple components to facilitate installation and removal.

Innovation Solution

A supporting device comprising a support assembly, an adapter with hanging slots and slot holes, and securing screws that allow for simple installation and removal of displays by embedding screws into corresponding slots, reducing the complexity and cost of the structural design.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the coupling seat, installation seat and quick release structure coordinate to form an embedding structure, then the display can be installed and removed, but the structural design becomes difficult and manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInstallation and removal capabilityVSAvoidStructural design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure is divided into separate functional elements: the support assembly with its mounting holes, the display device with corresponding threaded holes, and the fastening mechanism with screws. This segmentation allows each component to be independently manufactured and assembled, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining installation functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support assembly serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the display device, enables adjustable positioning through multiple mounting holes, and facilitates easy installation and removal via the fastening mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby simplifying the overall structure.

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

2Ease of operation

If the coupling seat, installation seat and quick release structure coordinate to form an embedding structure, then the display can be installed and removed, but the manufacturing cost substantially increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInstallation and removal capabilityVSAvoidManufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the mounting system into standardizable components (support assembly, display device, fasteners), each part can be manufactured using conventional processes and assembled through simple fastening operations, thereby reducing manufacturing cost while preserving installation/removal capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening mechanism uses simple, inexpensive screws and mounting holes rather than complex proprietary quick-release mechanisms. These basic fastening components are cost-effective and can be easily replaced or adjusted, reducing overall manufacturing cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple components coordinate to form an embedding structure, then installation and removal is enabled, but the structural design becomes fairly difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInstallation flexibilityVSAvoidStructural design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure is segmented into modular components with standardized interfaces (mounting holes, threaded holes, screws). This modularity enables flexible assembly configurations while keeping each individual component simple in design, thus achieving adaptability without increasing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support assembly integrates multiple mounting holes and structural features into a single component that works with the display device and fasteners as a unified system. This merging reduces the number of separate parts needed, simplifying structural design while maintaining installation flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
