Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional displays are limited in configuration and application due to their fixed, horizontal placement on a plane, restricting the adjustment of the screen's angle and positioning.

Innovation Solution

A display design incorporating a screen, a bracket, a hanging element, and a fixing element that allows the screen to be hung on an edge of a plate, with adjustable positioning and orientation, enabling rotation and sliding mechanisms for flexible placement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the base is designed for horizontal placement on a plane, then the display is stable and easy to manufacture, but the placement flexibility and configuration options are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplacement flexibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is divided into two distinct components: a base for horizontal placement and a hanging element for edge mounting. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall structural simplicity. The base remains simple for stable horizontal placement, while the hanging element adds versatility for alternative mounting configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support is designed with dual functionality by incorporating both a base for traditional horizontal placement and a hanging element for edge mounting. This multi-functionality enables the display to be placed in multiple configurations (horizontal on a plane or hung on an edge) without requiring multiple separate structures, thus improving adaptability while controlling complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the screen and support are pivotally connected for angle adjustment, then the screen orientation is adjustable, but the placement is confined to a plane

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration flexibilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through pivotal connections between the screen and support, allowing the screen angle to be adjusted. This dynamic feature enables flexible configuration while maintaining ease of operation through simple rotational movements. The dynamic design is complemented by the detachable hanging element that allows switching between different placement modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from two-dimensional horizontal placement to three-dimensional mounting by introducing the hanging element that enables vertical edge mounting. This dimensional change allows the display to be positioned in space rather than confined to a plane, significantly enhancing configuration flexibility while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive hanging and detachment actions.

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

AI summary

A display including a screen, a bracket, a hanging element and a fixing element is provided. The support is connected to the screen and has a top end and a bottom end. The hanging element is disposed on the top end. The fixing element is disposed at the bottom end. When the hanging element is hung on an upper edge of a plate, the fixing element is fixed on a surface of the plate.
