Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mount structures for thin displays are integrally formed, making them difficult to disassemble for packing, increasing transportation costs, and insufficient for larger displays, leading to structural weaknesses.

Innovation Solution

A mount structure comprising a base with a slot and a bearer featuring combining blocks with hooks, latches, and reinforcing ribs, allowing for separate formation and enhanced structural strength, stability, and ease of assembly and disassembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the mount structure is integrally formed, then the structural strength is sufficient for small displays, but the packing space utilization is low and transportation costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidpacking space
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The mount structure is divided into separate components: a base and a bearer that can be assembled together. The bearer is further segmented into a bearing portion and a combining portion. This segmentation allows the components to be packed separately, improving space utilization while maintaining structural strength when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If the mount structure is integrally formed, then assembly is simple, but disassembly is difficult and packing efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly simplicityVSAvoidpacking efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The mount is designed as separable components that can be easily assembled through the combining portion fitting into the base, and easily disassembled when needed. This segmentation enables efficient packing by allowing components to be separated for compact storage and transportation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the integrally formed mount is used for large displays, then the structure may be insufficient in strength and easily damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to display sizesVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The separable design with distinct base and bearer components allows for better distribution of structural loads. The combining portion with reinforcing ribs provides adequate connection strength while allowing the overall structure to be optimized for different display sizes and weights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of manufacture

If the mount components are separately formed, then packing cost is reduced, but the structural strength may be insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepacking costVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The base and bearer are designed to merge into a unified structure when assembled. The combining portion of the bearer fits into the base and is secured through multiple fixing means (latch engagement, screw fixation), creating a strong integrated structure that provides adequate structural strength for supporting displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A mount structure includes a base and a bearer. The base has a slot, and at least one combining block is disposed protruding from the slot. The bearer has a bearing portion and a combining portion. The bearing portion is connected to a display, and the combining portion is installed in the slot through hooks, buckles, latches, screws, or other combining methods, such that the bearer is fixed on the base. Moreover, the combining portion is provided with reinforcing ribs for enhancing the structural strength of the bearer.
