Problem

Existing wall mount methods for products like LCDs and LCD televisions are unstable, prone to falling due to vibration, and do not allow for 360° rotation or flexible orientation, limiting their application in complex environments and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A wall mount structure featuring a detachable base with a first magnetic unit and a rotating seat with a magnetic member and limiting member, enabling secure attachment and 360° rotation of the product, using mutual magnetic attraction and a limiting mechanism to maintain the rotated position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If screws are used to mount products on the wall, then the mounting method is simple, but the mounting stability is poor and products can easily fall off due to vibration or misalignment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting simplicityVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical screw connection system with a magnetic field-based holding system. The magnetic mounting plate contains magnetic units that generate magnetic fields to attract and hold the target object, eliminating the need for screws and mechanical fastening while providing stable, vibration-resistant mounting.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental mounting parameter from mechanical interlocking (screws) to magnetic attraction force. By adjusting magnetic unit parameters such as magnet strength, arrangement density, and polarity configuration, the system achieves both ease of installation and high mounting stability under vibration conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If traditional screw mounting is used, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability is limited and 360° rotation or flexible orientation is not supported

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidrotation and orientation flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a rotating seat with a rotating member that can rotate 360° around the magnetic mounting plate. This dynamic structure allows the target object to be positioned at any angle or orientation while maintaining stable magnetic attachment, transforming a static mounting system into a flexible, multi-position system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic mounting plate combined with the rotating seat creates a universal mounting system that can accommodate target objects in any orientation (horizontal, vertical, or angled positions). This multi-functional design replaces multiple fixed mounting configurations with a single adaptable system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If magnetic units are used for mounting, then the adaptability and rotation capability are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation and orientation flexibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the mounting system into distinct functional modules: a magnetic mounting plate with magnetic units, a rotating seat, and a rotating member. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while simplifying the overall design and assembly process despite the enhanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A wall mount structure is used to hang a target object on a wall. The wall mount structure includes a base detachably mounted on the wall and provided with a first magnetic unit, and a rotating seat. The rotating seat includes a rotating member rotatably mounted at a magnetic member, and used to rotate by a set angle relative to the magnetic member to reach a set position and connect the target object, the magnetic member including a second magnetic unit mutually attracted with the first magnetic unit to fix a relative position between the magnetic member and the base, and a limiting member connected between the rotating member and the magnetic member, and used to limit the relative position between the rotating member and the magnetic member, and to keep the rotating member at the set position.
