Adjustable Display Panel Mounting for Non-Planar Surfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display panels face challenges when mounted on imperfectly planar surfaces, leading to stress and potential damage due to the variance in distance between the display and the surface, which existing mounting systems struggle to accommodate effectively.
Innovation Solution
A display panel mounting system comprising a plate and adjustable devices, including a body, sleeve, coupler, and nut, allows for adjustable coupling to the surface and display panel, enabling precise distance adjustment and compatibility with non-planar surfaces, thereby minimizing stress and damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed mounting system is used on a non-planar surface, then the display panel can be mounted, but stress and damage occur due to distance variance
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable mounting points with sleeves that can be repositioned along the plate using nuts, allowing the distance between the display panel and surface to be dynamically adjusted at each mounting point to compensate for surface non-planarity, thereby eliminating stress and damage while maintaining reliable mounting
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the mounting distance is adjusted to accommodate non-planar surfaces, then stress is reduced, but the mounting system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into discrete adjustable units, with each mounting point featuring an independent sleeve-nut assembly that can be adjusted separately. This segmentation allows for localized distance adjustment at each mounting point without requiring complex overall system redesign, thereby reducing stress while keeping individual components relatively simple
Solution Approach 2:
The sleeve is received within the body of the mounting point, and the nut threads onto the sleeve, creating a nested structure. This nesting allows for compact adjustment mechanisms where the adjustable sleeve fits inside the mounting body, and the nut provides adjustment functionality without adding significant external complexity, enabling stress reduction through a relatively compact design

AI summary
A display panel mounting system includes a plate and an adjustment device. The plate includes a plate opening. The adjustment device includes a body, a sleeve, a coupler, and a nut. The body includes a receiver. The body is configured to be received within the plate opening. The sleeve is received within the body. The coupler includes a slot that receives the receiver such that the coupler is coupled to the body. The nut is coupled to the body such that the sleeve is repositionable within the body when the nut is coupled to the body.
