Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face challenges in stably supporting a main body with a large area size, particularly as stands become simpler and lighter in structure, requiring a design that ensures easy fastening while maintaining stability.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a stand with a fastening hole and protrusion system, utilizing a locking member with a slide block and locking button to secure the stand, and a return spring mechanism to maintain stability, along with a guide slot and protrusion for enhanced support.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the stand structure is made simpler and lighter, then the ease of manufacture and device complexity are improved, but the stability and support capability for large area display devices deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestand structure complexityVSAvoidsupport stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The stand structure incorporates movable components including a slide block that can shift position, a locking button that engages/disengages locking positions, and a return spring that provides dynamic tension adjustment. These dynamic elements allow the simple stand structure to adapt and maintain stability under varying load conditions without requiring complex rigid frameworks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The stand utilizes parameter changes through the return spring mechanism that adjusts tension levels, and the slide block that modifies the engagement depth between the locking member and fastening hole. By changing these physical parameters dynamically, the stand maintains optimal support stability while keeping the overall structure simple and lightweight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the stand structure is simplified, then the ease of operation for fastening is improved, but the stability when the display device is moved or rotated deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefastening easeVSAvoidposition stability during movement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The stand structure employs self-service mechanisms where the return spring automatically returns the slide block to its locked position after the locking button is released, and the locking member automatically engages with the fastening hole without requiring precise manual alignment. This provides easy operation while maintaining stable positioning during movement and rotation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The locking member acts as an intermediary element between the slide block and the fastening hole, providing a reliable mechanical connection that ensures position stability during movement and rotation while allowing simple fastening operations through the locking button mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If a locking mechanism is added to fill the gap between the stand fastening protrusion and stand fastening hole, then the stability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefastening stabilityVSAvoidlocking mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The locking member is merged with the slide block and locking button into an integrated assembly, where the return spring is also incorporated into the same structural unit. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall locking mechanism while maintaining the stability function of filling the gap between the protrusion and fastening hole.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution enables easy fastening and provides stable support for the display device, ensuring it remains securely positioned even when moved or rotated.

Implementation Method 1

a return spring having one side fixed to the cover bottom and the other side fixed to the moving frame, when the locking button is pressed, a shape of the return spring may change and the slide block may move downward, and when the force of pressing the locking button is removed, the return spring may be restored to an original shape thereof and the slide block may move upward
