Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional monitor support apparatuses are noisy, inconvenient to adjust, and require time-consuming bolt removal and reinstallation when changing monitors, with unsightly power cord management.
Innovation Solution
A support apparatus with a mounting seat, support arm assembly, extending arm, and mounting device featuring a connector and adjusting assembly that allows smooth, quiet adjustment and easy monitor attachment/removal, with integrated power cord management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional support apparatus uses elements that rub against each other during movement, then the monitor can be adjusted to different orientations, but noise is generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a bushing as an intermediary component between the driving block and the recessed track. This bushing acts as a mediator that reduces direct friction and noise-generating contact while still enabling the monitor to be adjusted to different orientations smoothly and quietly.
2Reliability
If conventional support apparatus uses bolts that must be removed and reinstalled, then the mounting device can securely hold the monitor, but attaching or replacing the monitor is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is segmented into a mounting assembly and an adjusting assembly that can be easily separated. The monitor connector with anchor and fastener provides a secure attachment mechanism that can be quickly released and reattached, eliminating the need to remove and reinstall bolts when replacing monitors.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting device transitions from a static bolted connection to a dynamic quick-release mechanism. The fastener and anchor system allows the monitor to be securely held during use but enables rapid detachment and reattachment, making monitor replacement convenient and time-efficient.
3Ease of operation
If conventional support apparatus requires removing the entire apparatus from the wall, then the monitor can be replaced, but the operation becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The support apparatus is segmented into modular components: mounting seat fixed to wall, support arm assembly, extending arm, and mounting device. This segmentation allows the mounting device to be independently adjusted or replaced without removing the entire apparatus from the wall, simplifying the replacement procedure.
4Reliability
If conventional support apparatus has power cord extending from monitor, then the monitor can be powered, but the appearance becomes unsightly
Solution Approach 1:
The power cord management system uses a nested structure where the power cord is routed through and stored within the support arm assembly. This nesting conceals the power cord within the existing structure of the support apparatus, maintaining power supply functionality while achieving a clean, unsightly-free appearance.
