Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display supporting apparatuses are inconvenient to adjust to optimal viewing positions, especially when multiple displays are mounted, and are difficult to repair or replace due to fixed positioning and proximity to walls.

Innovation Solution

A display supporting apparatus featuring a supporting unit with a linkage mechanism and adjustable units, allowing for vertical and horizontal adjustments, and a resilient mechanism for easy assembly, adjustment, and maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the display supporting apparatus is fixed to a wall surface or wall-hanging frame, then the display can be mounted securely, but it becomes difficult to repair or replace the display

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure mountingVSAvoiddifficulty to repair or replace display
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting apparatus is divided into multiple segments: a fixed mounting portion attached to the wall, an adjustable support body, and a display mounting section. This segmentation allows the display to be easily detached from the support body while the mounting portion remains fixed, facilitating repair and replacement without disturbing the wall mounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support body incorporates adjustable mechanisms that allow dynamic repositioning of the display along the wall surface. The adjustable members enable the support body to move between different positions and orientations, providing flexibility for maintenance while maintaining secure mounting through the fixed mounting portion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If multiple displays are mounted on fixed display supporting apparatuses, then each display can be positioned, but the arrangement becomes irregular and difficult to adjust

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitial positioningVSAvoiddifficulty to change position
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The support body is designed with adjustable members that enable dynamic repositioning along the wall surface. Multiple displays mounted on such apparatuses can be independently adjusted to achieve regular, aligned arrangements, and their positions can be changed later without requiring reinstallation of the entire mounting system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustable support body serves multiple functions: it can accommodate different display sizes, allow various positioning configurations, and enable both initial installation and later repositioning. This multi-functionality provides versatility for mounting multiple displays in different arrangements while maintaining ease of adjustment.

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

3Volume of moving object

If the display is mounted near the wall surface, then space is saved, but it becomes difficult to access and maintain the display

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoiddifficulty to access for maintenance
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The apparatus separates the display mounting function from the wall mounting function. The display can be easily detached from the support body and removed from behind other displays, allowing maintenance access without requiring significant space between displays while maintaining secure wall mounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A display supporting apparatus includes a supporting unit having an adjustable body which includes two pairs of first adjusting grooves, and a support body which includes two pairs of second adjusting grooves. A first adjustment unit includes two first adjustable members extending respectively and movably through top and bottom ends of the support body and respectively abutting against top and bottom ends of the adjustable body. A second adjusting unit includes two sliding rods each movably extending through one pair of the first adjusting grooves and a corresponding pair of the second adjusting grooves, and two second adjustable members each extending through and rotatable relative to the adjustable body.
