Modular Display Mount Structure for Stronger Flat-Panel Support
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 costs and structural weaknesses when handling larger displays.
Innovation Solution
A modular mount structure comprising a base with a slot and a bearer featuring combining blocks with hooks, latches, and reinforcing ribs, allowing for stable assembly and disassembly, enhanced structural strength, and reduced packing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the mount structure is integrally formed, then the structural strength is improved, but the packing efficiency deteriorates and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mount structure is divided into separate components: a base and a bearer, which can be assembled together. This segmentation allows the components to be packed separately, improving packing efficiency and reducing transportation costs, while still providing the necessary structural strength when assembled.
2Ease of operation
If the mount structure is integrally formed, then the assembly simplicity is improved, but the disassembly difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is designed as separable components (base and bearer) that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The bearer can be removed from the base when needed, allowing for easy disassembly, transportation, and reassembly, while maintaining assembly simplicity through straightforward connection mechanisms.
3Area of stationary object
If the integrally formed mount is used for large size displays, then the structural coverage is improved, but the structural strength deteriorates due to overweight
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the mount into base and bearer components, each part can be optimized independently. The base provides stable support coverage for large displays, while the bearer can be designed with appropriate strength characteristics, avoiding the overweight problem of a single integrally formed structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount structure utilizes vertical space efficiently by having the bearer extend upward from the base. This dimensional arrangement allows the structure to provide adequate coverage for large displays while maintaining manageable weight through the separated component design.
4Productivity
If the base and bearer are separately formed, then the packing cost is reduced, but the assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base and bearer are designed as separate components with simple connection interfaces. This segmentation enables cost-effective packing and transportation, while the simplified connection design (using features like slots and protrusions) keeps the assembly process straightforward, minimizing the increase in assembly complexity.

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.
