Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional model display systems lack customization for various sizes, themed environments, and stable wall mounting, and do not provide easy removal or exchangeable features like lighting that match the model theme.

Innovation Solution

A modular wall display system with interchangeable components, including base plates, vertical members, and lighting, allowing for customizable size and design to match the theme of the displayed item, with secure and easy wall mounting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional display cases are used, then models can be stored, but they cannot accommodate models of various sizes or provide customization for different themes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization for various sizes and themesVSAvoiddisplay case structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display case is divided into multiple interchangeable components including base plates of different sizes, vertical members, and modular shelving units. These segmented parts can be assembled in various configurations to accommodate models of different dimensions and themes, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity by making the system modular rather than monolithic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The vertical members and base plates are designed with universal connection mechanisms that allow the same components to serve multiple functions across different display configurations. The standardized interfaces enable a single set of components to accommodate various model sizes and themes, achieving versatility without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

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

2Reliability

If conventional mounting mechanisms are used, then display cases can be hung on walls, but removal is difficult and stability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewall mounting stabilityVSAvoidremoval ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting mechanism transitions from a static permanent attachment to a dynamic reversible connection. The bracket and cleat system with slot-and-peg configuration allows the display case to be securely mounted during use, then easily removed when needed, achieving both stability and ease of operation through a mechanism that can switch between locked and unlocked states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A separate mounting bracket acts as an intermediary between the display case and the wall. The bracket is permanently attached to the wall while the display case connects to the bracket via removable cleats, separating the permanent wall attachment from the removable display unit and enabling both stability and easy removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional fixed display designs are used, then结构简单 (structure is simple), but exchangeable features like lighting cannot be added to match model themes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexchangeable lighting and architectural featuresVSAvoidmodular component system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Lighting and architectural features are segmented into separate interchangeable modules that can be independently selected and attached. This allows users to add themed lighting (such as LED strips) and architectural elements (such as miniature buildings or landscapes) without redesigning the entire display case, achieving adaptability while keeping the base structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting points and connection interfaces for lighting and architectural features are pre-configured into the modular components during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation allows users to easily attach themed features later without complex installation procedures, achieving versatility with minimal user effort and without significantly increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A wall mounting system having a wall mountable bracket cleat having an upper rear cleat surface slanted at a first predetermined angle. The wall mounting system further includes a wall anchor module configured to removably attach to the wall mountable bracket cleat. The wall anchor module includes a pivot connector socket and a locking surface on a wall anchor module side. The pivot connector socket movably attaches to a battery storage compartment, and the locking surface locks the battery storage compartment. The wall anchor module further includes an anchor recess having an upper anchor recess surface configured to engage with the upper rear cleat surface. The anchor recess is formed at a wall anchor module rear surface, and the upper anchor recess portion is slanted at the first predetermined angle. The wall anchor module further includes an attachment configured to attach the wall anchor module to a display plate.
