Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a wall mount assembly is designed to allow multiple directions of adjustment (up, down, left, right, tilting), then user flexibility and ease of use are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment flexibilityVSAvoidwall mount assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly is divided into distinct functional modules: a fixing portion for wall attachment, a frame portion with tilting holes for positional adjustment, a link portion connecting the two, and an auxiliary locking portion with magnets for securing. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, enabling complex multi-directional adjustment capabilities while keeping the overall structure manageable and organized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a wall mount assembly is designed to allow multiple directions of adjustment, then user flexibility is improved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement capabilityVSAvoidassembly structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly incorporates dynamic elements that enable controlled movement in multiple directions. The frame portion includes tilting holes that guide spacers along specific movement paths, allowing the display module to move up, down, left, right, and tilt. The auxiliary locking portion with magnets provides dynamic locking at various positions, maintaining stability during operation while enabling adjustment when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If magnets are used in the auxiliary locking portion for secure positioning, then positioning accuracy is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidassembly manufacturing
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary locking portion replaces traditional mechanical locking mechanisms with a magnetic field-based system. Magnets are integrated into the auxiliary locking portion, which interacts with ferromagnetic materials in the frame portion to provide secure positioning. This substitution eliminates the need for complex mechanical locks, screws, or clips, thereby improving positioning accuracy through precise magnetic attraction while simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the number of assembly steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A display device comprises: a display module including a display panel; at least one pair of first and second spacers positioned behind the display module and fixed to the display module; and a wall-mountable assembly which is positioned behind the back cover and fastened to the first and second spacers, and which allows the first and second spacers to move. The wall-mountable assembly includes: a fixing part fixed to a stationary object; a frame part having a pair of first and second tilting holes into which the first and second spacers are inserted, respectively, and which guide the movement paths of the first and second spacers; a link part connecting the fixing part and the frame part to each other; and an auxiliary locking part fixed to the fixing part and having at least one magnet attachable to at least a portion of the frame part by magnetic force.
