Display Support Quick-Release Mount for Compact Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing supporting devices with integrated fixing and pivoting components require large packaging volumes and costs due to their fixed assembly, which limits the reduction of packaging material volume and cost.
Innovation Solution
A supporting device with a quick-release function, where the fixing and pivoting components are detachable and separable, featuring a protruding neck with a quick-release fixing member, and pre-components that connect by gravity, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, reducing packaging volume and cost.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the fixing component and pivoting component are pre-assembled on the column, then the assembly structure is more integrated, but the packaging volume and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the supporting device into separate modular components: the column assembly (with protruding neck) can be shipped separately from the carrying board unit (with quick-release fixing member). This segmentation allows each component to be packaged independently in smaller boxes, reducing total packaging volume and material costs while maintaining assembly integration through the quick-release mechanism that enables easy on-site assembly.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the fixing component and pivoting component are pre-assembled, then the structural stability is improved, but the disassembly and reassembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The quick-release fixing member incorporates a dynamic locking mechanism with a release button that allows the carrying board unit to be quickly detached from the protruding neck by simply pressing the button. This dynamic design maintains structural stability when locked while enabling extremely easy disassembly and reassembly operations, eliminating the need for tools or complex manual manipulation.
3Volume of stationary object
If the quick-release fixing member is used, then the packaging cost is reduced, but the reliability of the connection may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The quick-release fixing member employs a spherical connection interface where a ball joint on the carrying board unit fits into a corresponding socket on the protruding neck. This spherical geometry provides multi-directional alignment tolerance and ensures reliable, stable connection while maintaining the quick-release functionality. The curved surfaces distribute loads evenly and prevent accidental disengagement, ensuring connection reliability despite the simplified quick-release mechanism.
