Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display mounting brackets face challenges in meeting both packaging and installation size requirements, leading to difficulties in installation and packaging due to their large overall size.

Innovation Solution

A display mounting device comprising a wall panel with upper and lower extension rods that can be unfolded or folded, an expansion hinge connection rod assembly, and an adapter bracket, allowing the display bracket to expand and contract, thus accommodating both packaging and installation size needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the overall size of the display mounting bracket is reduced to meet packaging requirements, then packaging efficiency is improved, but the installation size becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging volumeVSAvoidinstallation size
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket employs a dynamic folding mechanism where the extension rods can be rotated between extended and retracted positions. During installation, the rods extend to provide sufficient mounting span; during packaging, the rods fold back to reduce overall volume. This dynamic transformation resolves the contradiction between installation size and packaging volume requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting bracket is divided into a main body and multiple separable extension rods that can be independently positioned. The rods are rotatably connected to the main frame, allowing them to be segmented during packaging while maintaining functional integrity during installation. This segmentation enables the structure to adapt between compact and expanded states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the extension rods are folded to reduce packaging size, then packaging requirements are met, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging volumeVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The folding mechanism uses simple rotational joints connecting the extension rods to the main frame, avoiding complex locking or telescoping systems. The rods can be freely rotated between extended and retracted positions, providing compact packaging volume while maintaining relatively simple structural design. The dynamic nature of the joints allows easy transition between states without complex control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The device effectively addresses the difficulty in installation and packaging by allowing the extension rods to be folded for compact packaging and unfolded for larger installation sizes, enhancing usability and flexibility.

Implementation Method 1

The two upper extension rods are respectively rotatably coupled to two ends of the upper beam to allow the two upper extension rods to be unfolded or folded relative to the upper beam. The two lower extension rods are respectively rotatably coupled to two ends of the lower beam to allow the two lower extension rods to be unfolded or folded relative to the lower beam.

Implementation Method 2

One end of the expansion hinge connection rod assembly is coupled to the bearing plate. The adapter bracket is coupled to one end of the expansion hinge connection rod assembly far away from the bearing plate. The display bracket is coupled to the adapter bracket to allow the display bracket to expand and contract relative to the wall panel along with the adapter bracket and the expansion hinge connection rod assembly.

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a display mounting device, including a wall panel, an expansion hinge connection rod assembly, an adapter bracket, and a display bracket. The wall panel includes a main frame, two upper extension rods, and two lower extension rods. The main frame includes an upper beam, a lower beam, and a bearing plate. The two upper extension rods are respectively rotatably coupled to two ends of the upper beam to allow the two upper extension rods to be unfolded or folded relative to the upper beam. The lower extension rods are respectively rotatably coupled to two ends of the lower beam to allow the two lower extension rods to be unfolded or folded relative to the lower beam. Upper extension rods and lower extension rods can be folded and unfolded relative to the upper beam and the lower beam, thus meeting requirements of packaging size and installation size.
