Mounting jig and mounting method
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual mounting of flat-panel TVs on walls often results in inaccurate alignment due to deviations in screw spacing, making it difficult to securely engage the screws with the TV's slots.
Innovation Solution
A mounting jig with positioning structures and substrates that match the spacing and size of the TV's grooves and screws, featuring semicircular hole slots and a level gauge to ensure accurate alignment and secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual mounting of screws on the wall is performed, then the mounting process is simple and quick, but the alignment accuracy between screws and TV slots deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting jig serves as an intermediary tool between the wall and the TV. It has positioning structures that match the groove spacing of the TV backboard, ensuring accurate screw hole placement. The jig transfers the precise positioning function from the TV slots to the wall mounting holes, resolving the contradiction between simple manual operation and accurate alignment.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting jig enables preliminary action by pre-positioning the screw holes on the wall before the TV is installed. The positioning structures on the jig create accurately spaced pilot holes that guide subsequent screw placement, ensuring that the mounting holes are correctly positioned relative to the TV's groove pattern before the actual mounting occurs.
2Manufacturing precision
If a mounting jig with precise positioning structures is used, then the alignment accuracy between screws and TV grooves is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting jig is segmented into two functional substrates: a first substrate with positioning structures for creating pilot holes, and a second substrate for providing structural support and screw locking. This segmentation allows each substrate to be optimized for its specific function while keeping the overall device relatively simple. The positioning structures are further segmented into multiple independent elements that match the TV's groove pattern.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting jig copies the groove spacing pattern of the TV backboard onto the wall through its positioning structures. By replicating the critical dimensional relationships of the TV's mounting interface, the jig ensures accurate alignment without requiring complex adaptive mechanisms. The positioning structures are designed to match the groove centerspacing, creating a simplified copy of the mounting geometry.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a mounting jig and a mounting method. The mounting jig is configured to mount a wall-hanging piece on a wall. At least two grooves configured to fix the wall-hanging piece are disposed on the wall hanging piece. The mounting jig includes at least two positioning structures. A spacing between the positioning structures is equal to a spacing between the grooves corresponding to the positioning structures.
