Monitor Mount Side-Access Height Adjustment for TV Leveling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing television hanging racks face issues with tilting due to installation errors, requiring cumbersome disassembly and reinstallation of the wall panel, which affects user experience and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A system with a hanger assembly and adjustment assembly that allows for vertical adjustment of the hanging arm component, enabling the user to adjust the display's height from the side, using an adjustment actuator and abutment surface to move the hanger assembly vertically, without needing to access the top or back of the television.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the wall panel is installed at an angle due to installation errors, then the suspension device tilts and the television tilts, but disassembly and reinstallation of the wall panel is cumbersome to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The suspension device is divided into separate components: a fixed wall panel, a movable hanger assembly, and an adjustment mechanism. This segmentation allows the hanger assembly to be independently adjusted without moving the wall panel, resolving the contradiction between achieving proper levelness and avoiding cumbersome disassembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
An adjustment component with an abutment surface is introduced as an intermediary between the hanger assembly and the wall panel. This intermediary allows for easy adjustment of the hanger assembly's position and angle without requiring disassembly of the wall panel, thus improving ease of operation while maintaining reliability.
2Manufacturing precision
If the wall panel is disassembled and reinstalled to correct tilting, then the levelness can be improved, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The hanger assembly is designed with movable components that allow dynamic adjustment of position and angle. The adjustment component can slide along the support surface of the wall panel, enabling quick corrections to installation accuracy without time-consuming disassembly and reinstallation operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment mechanism is pre-configured with an abutment surface that engages with the wall panel's support surface. This preliminary configuration allows users to make precise adjustments by simply moving the hanger assembly along the predetermined adjustment path, eliminating the need for time-consuming disassembly operations.
3Ease of operation
If the adjustment actuator translates in a direction transverse to the vertical direction, then the adjustment component can be driven to move the hanger assembly vertically, but the mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment actuator is designed to move in a horizontal direction (transverse to vertical) rather than directly vertical. This dimensional change allows the actuator to be positioned on the side of the television for easy user access, while still achieving vertical adjustment of the hanger assembly through the inclined abutment surface mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
A threaded adjustment actuator is used to convert rotational motion into linear horizontal movement of the adjustment component. This simple mechanical substitution replaces complex vertical lifting mechanisms, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining ease of operation from the side.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a system for mounting a display on a wall. The system may include at least one hanger assembly arranged in a vertical direction. The hanger assembly includes a hook assembly configured to engage a wall panel and a movable hanger configured to slidably engage with the hook assembly such that the movable hanger slides in a vertical direction. The system may further include an adjustment assembly having at least one adjustment component and an adjustment actuator. The adjustment component includes an abutment surface configured to slidably engage with a support surface of the hook assembly. The adjustment actuator engages the at least one adjustment component such that the adjustment actuator translates in a direction transverse to the vertical direction to drive the adjustment component to also translate in the transverse direction relative to the movable hanger and the movable hanger to translate in the vertical direction.
