Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display support frames are complex and difficult to disassemble, and they are not suitable for suspended display devices, requiring additional structures for support.

Innovation Solution

A support frame with a connection frame, first, second, and third support plates arranged in a simple configuration, allowing the display device to be either stood on a support plane or suspended from a wall, using sliding engagement slots and connection members for secure attachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an upright support frame with pedestal and upright column is used, then the display device can be supported upright, but the structure becomes complicated and difficult to disassemble

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support frame is divided into separate functional components: a connection frame for wall mounting, and interchangeable support plates (first support plate for upright positioning, second and third support plates for branch connections). This segmentation allows the same basic structure to serve multiple purposes while simplifying assembly and disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection frame with its branch structure serves multiple functions: it can support the display device in upright position using the first support plate, or be configured for suspended mounting using the second and third support plates. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate support structures for different mounting scenarios.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If an upright support frame is used for standing display devices, then the display device can be supported, but an additional suspension support frame is needed when the display device is suspended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting mode flexibilityVSAvoidnumber of support structures
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The same connection frame structure with its two branches can accommodate both upright and suspended mounting modes by simply changing which support plates are used and how they are connected. The first support plate enables upright positioning, while the second and third support plates enable suspended mounting, all within a single frame design.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The support frame design allows dynamic reconfiguration between different mounting modes. The connection members can be easily detached and reattached to different support plates, enabling the structure to adapt its configuration based on whether upright or suspended mounting is required, without needing permanent fixed structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a complicated upright support frame structure is used, then the display device can be supported, but it is difficult to disassemble after assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection strengthVSAvoidassembly and disassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system is segmented into modular components: connection members with threadedly engaged screws, separate support plates, and the connection frame. This segmentation allows each component to be independently assembled and disassembled using simple screw connections, avoiding complex integrated structures that are difficult to take apart.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support plates are pre-configured with connection interfaces (sliding engagement slots and receiving portions) that guide the connection members into proper positions. This preliminary preparation of connection interfaces simplifies the assembly process and ensures reliable connections without requiring complex alignment procedures during assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A support frame and a display assembly are provided in the present disclosure. The support frame includes a connection frame, a first support plate at a top of the connection frame, and a second support plate and a third support plate respectively at two branches at a bottom of the connection frame. When the display device is on a support plane, the first support plate is connected to a bottom plate of the display device, and the second and the third support plates are connected to the support plane. When the display device is suspended on a suspension wall, the second and the third support plates are connected to a back plate of the display device, and the first support plate is connected to the suspension wall.
