Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatus stands are cumbersome to assemble and require complex fastening processes, which complicates the assembly and stability of the components.

Innovation Solution

A stand design featuring a base that slides relative to a stand body and is detachably coupled, with a rotatable coupling plate that restricts movement, allowing for easy assembly and secure fixation of components without separate fastening.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional fastening methods are used to couple the base to the stand body, then the structural stability is improved, but the assembly complexity and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling mechanism is divided into separate functional elements: a coupling protrusion on the base, a coupling groove on the stand body, and a coupling plate with locking protrusions. This segmentation allows for simple assembly while maintaining structural stability through the interlocking of these discrete components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The coupling plate integrates multiple functions into a single component: it connects the base to the stand body, provides locking mechanism through its protrusions, and enables rotational adjustment. This merging reduces the number of separate fastening components needed while ensuring reliable coupling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If the base is detachably coupled to allow easy assembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the structural stability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of assemblyVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling mechanism transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The base can be easily attached and detached through sliding and rotational movements, while the coupling plate's locking protrusions ensure stable connection when assembled. This dynamic design allows both ease of operation and structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The coupling plate acts as an intermediary element between the base and stand body. It mediates the connection by providing a locking mechanism that ensures structural stability while allowing for easy assembly and disassembly through its rotatable design with engagement and disengagement positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the coupling plate restricts sliding movement to ensure stability, then the structural integrity is improved, but the adaptability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidadjustability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling plate can rotate between a locked position where it restricts sliding movement for stability, and an unlocked position where it allows movement for adjustment. This dynamic capability enables the structure to switch between stable and adaptable states as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The coupling mechanism changes its restrictive parameters based on the rotational position of the coupling plate. When rotated to the locked position, it maximizes restriction of sliding movement for structural integrity. When rotated to the unlocked position, it reduces restriction to allow for adjustment and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A stand for a display apparatus includes: a stand body configured to be coupled to a display module; a base detachably coupled to the stand body by sliding relative to the stand body and configured to support the stand body and the display module; and a coupling plate coupled to the stand body and rotatable between a first position, at which the coupling plate is coupled to the base, and a second position, at which the coupling plate is separated from the base, and configured to restrict the sliding of the base relative to the stand body in a state in which the coupling plate is at the first position.
