Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in efficiently adjusting the distance between the display panel and a wall while maintaining stability and preventing overturning when in contact with the wall.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a stand that includes a body with a forward-protruding front leg and rearward-protruding rear leg, connected by an elastic member that is stretchable in the front-rear direction, allowing the stand to adjust its position relative to a wall through elastic deformation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the stand is made rigid to maintain stability, then stability is improved, but the ability to adjust distance from the wall deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoiddistance adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The stand incorporates an elastic member that allows dynamic adjustment of the distance between the display device and the wall. The elastic member can be compressed or stretched to adapt to different wall distances while maintaining structural integrity and stability during movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member changes its physical state (compressed or stretched) to adjust the stand's configuration. This parameter change allows the stand to adapt between different distance states from the wall while maintaining stability through the elastic force.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Length of moving object

If the stand is moved closer to the wall, then the distance between the display panel and the wall decreases, but the risk of overturning increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistance from wallVSAvoidoverturning prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member acts as a cushioning element that stores elastic energy when compressed. This beforehand cushioning provides a restoring force that prevents the stand from overturning when moved too close to the wall, as the elastic force counteracts the tipping moment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic member converts the potentially harmful compressive force (which could cause overturning) into a beneficial restoring force. When the stand is pushed against the wall, the elastic member compresses and generates a counteracting force that prevents overturning, turning the harmful effect into a protective mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Device complexity

If the stand structure is simplified, then device complexity is reduced, but the coupling structure between head and stand deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestand structure complexityVSAvoidcoupling structure reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member is integrated directly between the front leg and rear leg of the stand, merging the support and adjustment functions into a single component. This simplifies the overall structure while maintaining reliable coupling, as the elastic member serves both as a structural connector and an adjustment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
