Mounting Bracket Assembly for In-Module Media Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of in-module media assemblies in vehicles is time-consuming and difficult due to the complexity of integrating the electronic control module with the display screen and media chassis, often resulting in the display screen pivoting or tilting during impacts, which can damage internal components.
Innovation Solution
A mounting bracket assembly with a shelf and engagement members is designed to be mounted to the display screen, preventing forward movement and absorbing impacts, thus securing the electronic control module and maintaining the display screen's position during vehicle impacts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the in-module media assembly is installed using conventional methods, then the installation process is simple, but the installation time is excessive and the process is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket assembly is pre-assembled with the electronic control module, display screen, and media chassis before installation in the vehicle. This preliminary assembly of components resolves the contradiction by enabling faster installation (improving productivity) while maintaining ease of operation, as the pre-assembled unit can be installed as a single integrated component rather than assembling multiple parts during installation.
2Reliability
If the display screen is mounted without additional support structures, then the device complexity is low, but the display screen pivots or tilts during impacts causing component damage
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket assembly serves as an intermediary structure between the display screen and the vehicle's media assembly. This bracket provides additional support and impact resistance (improving reliability) while maintaining relatively low device complexity, as it is a straightforward structural component that integrates the display screen and electronic control module without requiring complex mechanisms.
3Productivity
If conventional mounting methods are used, then the device complexity is low, but the installation process is time-consuming and difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket assembly merges the electronic control module, display screen, and media chassis into a single integrated assembly. This combination improves installation efficiency (productivity) by reducing the number of separate components to be installed, while the overall device complexity remains manageable as it consolidates functions rather than adding separate complex systems.

AI summary
An in-module media assembly includes a display screen, a mounting bracket assembly and an electronic control module. The display has an interior-facing side and a non-interior facing side. The mounting bracket assembly is mounted to the non-interior facing side of the display screen. The mounting bracket assembly includes a mounting bracket and a shelf. The mounting bracket has a first longitudinally extending support member and a second longitudinally extending support member. The shelf is connected to the first and second longitudinally extending support members. The shelf includes first and second engagement members. The first engagement member engages the first longitudinally extending support member and the second engagement member engages the second longitudinally extending support member. The first and second engagement members prevent forward movement of the shelf with respect to the mounting bracket. The electronic control module is mounted to the shelf.
