Solution Overview

Problem

The existing display apparatuses require time-consuming and labor-intensive processes for mounting, dismounting, and adjusting due to the lack of a quick and convenient locking mechanism with supporting stands.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus design featuring a connecting hole with a fixing component and a clamping portion that allows for easy assembly and disassembly by arranging the clamping portion around the fixing component, enabling intuitive and efficient connection to a supporting stand.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional mounting holes with bonding plates are used, then the display apparatus can be securely locked to the supporting stand, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocking securityVSAvoidassembly time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is divided into separate functional components: a fixing component with fixing protrusions integrated into the display apparatus, and a clamping portion with clamping grooves on the supporting stand. This segmentation allows for quick engagement and disengagement while maintaining secure connection, eliminating the need for traditional bonding plates and multiple mounting holes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing component acts as an intermediary element that mediates between the display apparatus and the supporting stand. The fixing protrusions on the fixing component engage with the clamping grooves of the clamping portion, providing a reliable connection mechanism that is both secure and easy to assemble/disassemble.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional mounting holes with bonding plates are used, then the display apparatus can be securely locked to the supporting stand, but the operation becomes complex and requires multiple steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocking securityVSAvoidassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection interface is segmented into complementary geometric features: fixing protrusions and clamping grooves. This segmentation simplifies the operation by allowing direct engagement of the clamping portion with the fixing component, reducing the assembly process to a single intuitive motion without requiring alignment of multiple holes or attachment of separate bonding plates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing component and clamping portion are designed to self-align and self-engage through their geometric features. The fixing protrusions automatically guide the clamping grooves into proper alignment during assembly, and the elastic clamping portion self-adjusts to secure the connection, eliminating the need for complex adjustment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If traditional mounting holes with bonding plates are used, then the display apparatus can be securely locked to the supporting stand, but the structure becomes complex with multiple components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocking securityVSAvoidconnection structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing component merges multiple functions into a single integrated element: it provides mounting holes for wall attachment, fixing protrusions for stand connection, and structural support for the display apparatus. This merging eliminates the need for separate bonding plates and reduces the overall number of components in the connection system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing component serves multiple purposes: it acts as a mounting plate for wall attachment, a connection interface for the supporting stand, and a structural reinforcement element for the display apparatus back surface. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by eliminating redundant components while maintaining reliable locking security.

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

AI summary

A display apparatus adapted for connecting with a supporting stand is provided. The supporting stand includes a clamping portion. The display apparatus includes a main body. The main body includes a back surface. The back surface includes a connecting hole. A fixing component is in the connecting hole. The clamping portion is adapted to reach into the connecting hole. When the clamping portion reaches into the connecting hole, the clamping portion is arranged around and abuts against the fixing component, so that the display apparatus is connected to the supporting stand.
