Solution Overview

Problem

Display apparatus stands require a wide packing box due to their design, making storage and transportation inefficient, and existing coupling methods are complex and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a stand comprising coupled first and second stand members, featuring a locking mechanism and angled leg portions that reduce the front-rear width, allowing for efficient packing and easy assembly by minimizing additional components needed for stabilization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the stand is designed with a wide front-rear width to prevent the display unit from traveling, then the stability of the display unit is improved, but the volume of the packing box increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of display unitVSAvoidvolume of packing box
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is divided into a first stand member and a second stand member that can be coupled together. The first stand member includes a first leg portion and a first coupling portion, while the second stand member includes a second leg portion and a second coupling portion. This segmentation allows the stand to be disassembled into smaller components for compact packing, while maintaining the required stability when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The leg portions are designed to extend in angled directions (e.g., V-shape configuration) rather than straight vertical lines. This dimensional change in the arrangement of leg portions provides stable support coverage area without increasing the front-rear width of the overall stand structure, enabling compact packing while maintaining stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If traditional coupling methods are used to attach the stand to the display unit, then the stability of the connection is improved, but the complexity of the coupling process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidcoupling process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling brackets are designed to integrate multiple functions into a single component. The coupling brackets include locking members and locking holes that combine positioning, securing, and stabilization functions. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the coupling process while maintaining reliable connection between the stand and display unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The locking mechanism is designed to be self-aligning and self-securing. The locking members and locking holes automatically engage when the coupling brackets are brought together, eliminating the need for complex alignment procedures or additional fastening steps. This self-service mechanism simplifies the coupling process while ensuring stable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
