Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for fixing displays on walls are labor-intensive and often result in improper clearance adjustments, leading to level differences among multiple displays and increased workload for installers.

Innovation Solution

A clearance adjustment member comprising a magnetic force unit, a screw beam, and an adjustment unit that allows for precise adjustment of the clearance between a wall and a display device, enabling easy installation, level correction, and stable fixation of displays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a worker manually adjusts the clearance between wall and display by hand, then the display can be installed on the wall, but the workload is high and the clearance cannot be adjusted properly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of clearance adjustmentVSAvoidadjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the conventional manual mechanical adjustment system with a magnetic force-based adjustment mechanism. The magnetic force unit generates magnetic attraction force that automatically pulls the display device toward the wall, eliminating the need for workers to manually push and adjust the display. This substitution of mechanical manual adjustment with magnetic force automation resolves the contradiction by making clearance adjustment both easier and faster.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic force unit enables the display device to self-adjust its clearance to the wall through magnetic attraction. Once the display is positioned near the wall, the magnetic force automatically pulls it into the correct position without requiring continuous manual intervention. This self-service mechanism reduces both the workload and time required for clearance adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple displays are installed using conventional methods, then they can be mounted on the wall, but level differences occur among the displays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation precisionVSAvoidease of position correction
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the magnetic force unit can be adjusted to provide different magnetic attraction forces. This allows workers to dynamically correct level differences among multiple displays by adjusting the magnetic force strength, making position correction easier while maintaining high installation precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the magnetic force parameter of the magnetic force unit to enable precise control over the attraction force between the display and the wall. By adjusting this parameter, workers can fine-tune the position of each display to eliminate level differences, thereby improving installation precision while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the clearance between wall and display is reduced to improve immersion, then the visual immersion is improved, but the display becomes harder to detach and reposition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of display fixationVSAvoidease of detachment and repositioning
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical fastening systems with a magnetic force-based attachment system. The magnetic force unit provides strong magnetic attraction that securely fixes the display to the wall at minimal clearance, ensuring stability. At the same time, because magnetic force can be easily controlled and reversed, the display can be readily detached and repositioned by simply overcoming the magnetic force, maintaining adaptability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the controllable parameter of magnetic force strength to achieve both strong fixation and easy detachment. By adjusting the magnetic force parameter, the system provides sufficient attraction for stable mounting while allowing easy release when needed, resolving the contradiction between fixation stability and repositioning ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
