Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional mounting systems are used for multiple electronic displays, then the displays can be mounted on the wall, but the system is difficult and cumbersome to assemble and lacks adjustability
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into modular components including individual mounting feet, brackets, and connection elements that can be independently assembled. Each mounting foot can be separately adjusted and attached to the wall, allowing the system to be built incrementally rather than as a single complex unit. This segmentation makes the assembly process simpler and more manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting feet incorporate adjustable mechanisms with slots and fasteners that allow dynamic repositioning during assembly and installation. The brackets can be positioned at different locations on the mounting feet, and the entire system can be adjusted to accommodate wall irregularities, providing flexibility during the assembly process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed mounting systems are used, then the structure is stable, but the system cannot accommodate non-flat walls or provide positioning adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting feet feature adjustable brackets with slots that allow the bracket position to be dynamically changed during installation. This enables the system to adapt to non-flat wall surfaces by adjusting the bracket location on the mounting foot, while the final fixed position provides stable support for the electronic display.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system allows for parameter changes in the position of brackets relative to the mounting feet through adjustable fasteners and slots. This enables the mounting points to be repositioned to compensate for wall irregularities, maintaining both adaptability to different wall surfaces and stable support for the displayed devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If modular mounting systems are used, then the system is scalable and flexible, but the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system uses standardized modular components that can be independently manufactured and assembled. Each mounting foot, bracket, and connection element is a discrete module with standardized interfaces, allowing the system to be scaled by simply adding or removing modules rather than redesigning the entire system.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting feet and brackets are designed as universal components that can be used in multiple configurations and positions. The same mounting foot can support different types of brackets, and the standardized connection interfaces allow modules to be combined in various arrangements, providing scalability without increasing assembly complexity.
4Shape
If displays are mounted tightly together, then the overall display appearance is clean, but damage may occur during installation
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates built-in alignment features and adjustment mechanisms that allow displays to be properly positioned and aligned before final tightening. The adjustable brackets enable preliminary positioning of displays in the correct configuration, ensuring proper spacing and alignment before the displays are secured in their final tight arrangement, thereby preventing damage during installation.
