Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monitor and support bracket connections using screws or hooks are time-consuming and limit adjustability, making repeated assembly and disassembly difficult, and structural mismatch common.
Innovation Solution
A quick release structure with a first connector assembly featuring pressing members and a linkage mechanism, and a second connector assembly with magnets, allowing for rapid assembly and disassembly by engaging and detaching from fastening portions and magnetically attaching to a metal docking portion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screws are used to fasten the monitor to the support bracket, then the connection is strong and reliable, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The connector assembly is divided into two separate components: a first connector assembly with pressing members for mechanical engagement and a second connector assembly with magnets for magnetic attachment. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, enabling quick assembly while maintaining reliable connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines two different connection mechanisms (mechanical pressing and magnetic attachment) into a single integrated connector system. The first connector assembly engages with fastening portions through pressing members, while the second connector assembly provides additional magnetic attachment, merging both mechanisms to achieve reliable and quick connection simultaneously.
2Productivity
If hooks are used to fix the support bracket to the monitor, then the assembly process is faster, but structural mismatch occurs limiting adjustability
Solution Approach 1:
The connector assembly is designed with universal compatibility to work with different monitor types and bracket configurations. The pressing members can engage with various fastening portions, and the magnetic attachment provides additional versatility, allowing the same connector assembly to be used across different display devices and adjusting the monitor's height and rotation angle.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector assembly incorporates movable pressing members that can dynamically adjust their position and engagement force. This dynamic design allows the connector to adapt to different structural configurations while maintaining quick assembly capability, enabling height and rotation angle adjustments without structural mismatch.
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed support bracket structure is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the user cannot adjust the height or rotation angle of the monitor
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket system is segmented into a fixed bracket structure for manufacturing simplicity and a movable connector assembly for adjustability. The connector assembly can be detached and reattached at different positions, enabling height and rotation angle adjustments while keeping the main bracket structure simple and easy to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector assembly incorporates dynamic elements that allow it to be moved to different positions on the bracket. The pressing members can engage with fastening portions at various locations, enabling the monitor to be adjusted to different heights and angles while maintaining a simple fixed bracket structure for easy manufacturing.

AI summary
A display device includes a monitor, a fixing bracket, and a quick release structure. The quick release structure includes a housing, a first connector assembly and a second connector assembly. The first connector assembly includes two pressing members and a linkage mechanism. One of the two pressing members is pressed and pushed by an external force to drive the other of the two pressing members to move synchronously, such that the two pressing members move to respective sides of the housing or both move to a center of the housing to be engaged in or detached from a monitor. The second connector assembly includes a plurality of magnets and a moving member. The moving member is configured to drive the plurality of magnets to reciprocate, such that the plurality of magnets are magnetically attached or released from the fixing bracket.
