Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting brackets for display devices are inflexible and cannot meet both installation and packaging specifications, limiting their promotion and application due to fixed sizes that do not accommodate the varying requirements of display devices.

Innovation Solution

An adjustable mounting bracket comprising a wall panel, extending rods, and a limiting structure that allows the rods to be detachably coupled and adjusted in length, enabling the bracket to fit various display sizes and specifications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting bracket uses a fixed size design, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot accommodate different display device sizes and cannot meet both installation and packaging specifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different display sizesVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is divided into a wall panel and multiple separate extending rods that can be detachably coupled. This segmentation allows the bracket to be assembled in different configurations to match various display sizes, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity by making the structure modular rather than monolithic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting bracket transitions from a fixed static structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The extending rods can be detached, added, or removed from the wall panel, allowing the bracket length to be dynamically adjusted according to different display device requirements, thereby achieving adaptability without permanent complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting bracket is designed to meet installation specifications, then it can support display devices properly, but it cannot meet packaging specifications due to its fixed large size

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance with installation and packaging specificationsVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the bracket into a wall panel and multiple extending rods, the system can be packaged in a compact state with rods detached or nested, meeting packaging specifications. During installation, rods are attached to achieve the required size, meeting installation specifications. This segmentation resolves the contradiction while keeping assembly straightforward through standardized coupling interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The extending rods can be nested within or alongside each other during packaging, similar to nested dolls, reducing the overall packaging volume to meet specifications. During assembly, they are extracted and attached to form the required bracket structure, maintaining ease of operation through this intuitive nesting and extraction process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a new display device needs to be replaced, then the display can be updated, but a new mounting bracket also needs to be replaced which is troublesome to assemble

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different display devicesVSAvoidbracket replacement convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The wall panel is designed as a universal base that can accommodate multiple extending rods in different configurations. This universal design allows a single wall panel to work with various display device sizes by simply adjusting the number and arrangement of extending rods, making the bracket replaceable and adaptable without requiring complete replacement, thus improving ease of repair and compatibility.

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