Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display device apparatuses are difficult to assemble, can damage surfaces during mounting, lack adjustability, and have loose accessories that entangle and are aesthetically unappealing.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic ecosystem apparatus with a fastening assembly and adjustable support arms, featuring metallic hollow portions and magnetic sheaths for cable management, allowing easy assembly, stable mounting, and cable organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional fastening assemblies are over-tightened for stability, then the stability of the apparatus is improved, but damage to the table top and apparatus occurs
Solution Approach 1:
A protective cushioning layer is provided between the fastening assembly and the table top surface. This cushioning layer prevents direct contact between the fastening components and the table top, thereby preventing damage while maintaining the stability of the apparatus during installation and use.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional apparatuses are assembled from disassembled configuration, then transportation is facilitated, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The apparatus is divided into separable components including the display device, fastening assembly, and support structure. These segmented components can be transported separately and assembled through simple connection mechanisms, reducing both transportation complexity and assembly difficulty while maintaining structural integrity.
3Ease of operation
If accessories are allowed to hang loosely from the display device, then accessibility is improved, but entanglement and aesthetic appeal deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
A cable management system with cable channels and cable holders is introduced as an intermediary structure between the display device and hanging accessories. This system guides and organizes cables and accessories, preventing entanglement while maintaining accessibility and improving aesthetic appearance.
