Solution Overview

Problem

Current display mounting brackets require users to adjust the position of the display after telescopic adjustment, causing misalignment between the display's central axis and the wall plate, leading to a suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display mounting apparatus featuring a wall plate with pivoting parts, a telescopic adjustment assembly with rotating levers and a hollow sleeve, and an adjustment bracket that allows the display bracket to be completely folded between the pivoting parts, ensuring alignment of the display's central axis with the wall plate's central axis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the telescopic adjustment assembly is completely folded, then the display bracket can be compactly stored, but the display's central axis becomes staggered relative to the wall plate's central axis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefolded bracket volumeVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment bracket is designed to be received within the space between the first and second pivoting parts when folded, creating a nested configuration. The hollow sleeve provides a receiving space that accommodates the folded bracket components, allowing compact storage while maintaining alignment through the structured nesting arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The pivoting parts are pre-positioned on the wall plate with predetermined spacing and orientation. The telescopic adjustment assembly is designed with predetermined fold positions that ensure the display bracket aligns with the wall plate's central axis when folded, eliminating the need for post-installation adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If the display bracket is completely folded between the pivoting parts, then alignment with the wall plate is improved, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidbracket structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hollow sleeve serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the telescopic adjustment assembly, creates a receiving space for the folded bracket, and acts as a positioning element that guides the folding motion. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, simplifying the overall structure despite the complex folding capability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment bracket components are merged into a integrated assembly that folds within the hollow sleeve structure. The pivoting parts, telescopic adjustment assembly, and display bracket are combined into a unified mechanism where the folding action naturally achieves alignment, reducing the need for separate alignment adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A display mounting apparatus includes a wall plate, a telescopic adjustment assembly, an adjustment bracket and a display bracket. The wall plate includes a first pivoting part and a second pivoting part. The telescopic adjustment assembly includes a first front rotating lever, a second front rotating lever, a hollow sleeve, a middle rotating shaft and a rear rotating lever. The first front rotating lever and the second front rotating lever respectively rotatably couples the first pivoting part and the second pivoting part. The hollow sleeve couples between the first front rotating lever and the second front rotating lever and is disposed away from wall plate. One end of the rear rotating lever is fixed to a portion between two ends of the hollow sleeve. The adjustment bracket rotatably couples one end of the rear rotating lever away from the hollow sleeve. The display bracket is mounted on the adjustment bracket.
