Solution Overview

Problem

Existing television supports have fixed mounting heights, which do not fully meet the diverse requirements of different environments, and their height adjustment mechanisms are often complex and unstable.

Innovation Solution

A hanging plate assembly with a first and second hanging plate that are detachably connected, allowing for adjustable mounting height, with a second fixture for locking the plates together to provide firm fixation, facilitating easy mounting and adjustment of audiovisual devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If height adjustable supports with telescopic or threaded structures are used, then height adjustment function is achieved, but device complexity increases and stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustment functionVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support column is segmented into multiple adjustable sections that can be detached and reconfigured. The hanging plate is divided into first and second hanging plates that can be detachably connected at different positions, allowing height adjustment without complex mechanisms. Each segment can be independently positioned and locked.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support structure transitions from a fixed static design to a dynamically adjustable configuration. The detachable connecting structure allows the hanging plate to be repositioned along the support column, and the expandable structure enables the support column itself to be adjusted in length, providing dynamic adaptability while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If detachable hanging plates are used for height adjustment, then ease of mounting is improved, but fixation stability may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting easeVSAvoidfixation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging plates are pre-equipped with connecting structures and locking mechanisms that are prepared in advance. The detachable connecting structure includes pre-designed engagement features that guide the assembly process, allowing users to quickly connect and lock the hanging plates without complex tools or procedures, ensuring both ease of mounting and reliable fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The locking mechanism is designed to automatically secure the hanging plates when connected. The detachable connecting structure includes self-locking features that engage automatically upon assembly, providing reliable fixation without requiring additional fastening operations or specialized tools, thus maintaining both ease of operation and fixation stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
