Modular Display Mount Structure for Compact Packing and Strength
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mount structures for thin displays are integrally formed, making them difficult to disassemble and pack efficiently, leading to increased space and transportation costs, and are insufficient for supporting larger displays, risking damage during use.
Innovation Solution
A modular mount structure comprising a base with a slot and a bearer featuring combining blocks, hooks, latches, screws, and reinforcing ribs, allowing for separate assembly and enhanced structural strength to support larger displays without damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the base and bearer are integrally formed, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the mount cannot be disassembled for efficient packing and the structural strength is insufficient for large displays
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is divided into separate base and bearer components that can be assembled together. The base includes a combining block with positioning protrusions, while the bearer has corresponding positioning recesses and locking structures. This segmentation allows for easier manufacturing of individual parts while enabling disassembly for packing and providing sufficient structural strength through the interlocking design when assembled.
2Strength
If the base and bearer are integrally formed, then the structural strength is sufficient for small displays, but the packing cost increases and space utility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The mount structure is segmented into separable base and bearer components with standardized combining blocks and locking mechanisms. This allows the components to be disassembled for compact packing, improving space utility and reducing packing costs, while maintaining sufficient structural strength through the interlocking design when assembled for use.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular design with standardized combining blocks and locking structures allows the mount to be disassembled, packed, and reassembled repeatedly without loss of structural integrity. The components can be recovered and reused multiple times, improving productivity and reducing packing costs compared to integral structures.
3Ease of manufacture
If the integrally formed mount is used for large displays, then the manufacturing is simple, but the mount may be easily damaged due to insufficient structural strength
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is segmented into base and bearer components with enhanced combining blocks that include positioning protrusions, locking structures, and reinforcing ribs. This segmentation enables manufacturing simplicity for individual parts while the assembled interlocking structure provides the necessary durability and structural strength to support large displays without being easily damaged.
Solution Approach 2:
The combining block and bearer use composite structural design with multiple materials or reinforced structures, including locking mechanisms and reinforcing ribs, to achieve both manufacturing simplicity and enhanced durability for supporting large displays.

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.
