Display Mounting Assembly With Circumferential Tilt Track
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display mounting assemblies have a complex and insufficiently strong adjusting mechanism for supporting large and heavy displays, which limits their ability to securely mount and adjust the inclination of displays.
Innovation Solution
A display mounting assembly with a position-adjusting mechanism featuring first and second connecting units and a supporting unit, including upper and lower connectors that define a circumferentially extending track, allowing for smooth inclination adjustment and secure mounting of displays through co-slidable and rotatable components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a complex adjusting mechanism with gears and spring arm ratchets is used to adjust inclination, then inclination adjustment capability is achieved, but the structure becomes complicated and insufficient strength is provided for large heavy displays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the complex gears and spring arm ratchets from the adjusting mechanism, retaining only the essential components needed for inclination adjustment. This extraction of unnecessary elements simplifies the structure while preserving the core functionality of adjusting the display's inclination angle.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using a complex mechanical transmission system (gears and ratchets) to achieve inclination adjustment, the patent inverts the approach by using a direct sliding mechanism where connectors move along a circumferential track. This inversion simplifies the mechanism by eliminating intermediate transmission components.
2Ease of operation
If a complex adjusting mechanism with gears and spring arm ratchets is used, then inclination adjustment is possible, but sufficient strength cannot be provided for large and heavy displays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional approach by eliminating complex mechanical transmission components that compromise structural integrity. The direct sliding mechanism along the circumferential track provides a more robust structure capable of supporting large and heavy displays while still enabling inclination adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the adjustment function and support function into a single integrated mechanism. The connectors that enable inclination adjustment by sliding along the track also serve as the primary load-bearing elements, eliminating the need for separate weak components and providing sufficient support strength for heavy displays.
3Device complexity
If a simple position-adjusting mechanism is used, then structure is simplified, but sufficient strength may not be provided to support large and heavy displays
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mounting system into distinct functional segments: wall bracket, display-mounting bracket, and position-adjusting mechanism with connecting units. Each segment is optimized for its specific function, with the connectors designed to bear loads while enabling adjustment, achieving both structural simplicity and sufficient strength.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of adding complexity to achieve strength, the patent inverts the approach by using a simple direct-sliding mechanism where the connectors themselves provide the necessary structural strength. The circumferential track design ensures that the simple mechanism can support large and heavy displays through proper force distribution.

AI summary
A display mounting assembly includes: a wall bracket; a display-mounting bracket; and a position-adjusting mechanism disposed between and interconnecting the wall bracket and the display-mounting bracket, and including first and second connecting units and a supporting unit that is connected to the wall bracket. The first and second connecting units are provided on the display-mounting bracket and the supporting unit, respectively. Each of the first and second connecting units includes upper and lower connectors. The upper and lower connectors of the second connecting unit cooperatively define a circumferentially extending track. The upper and lower connectors of the first connecting unit are mounted slidably on the upper and lower connectors the second connecting unit so as to be co-slidable along the circumferentially extending track.
