Pivoting Display Base With Wall Mount Carrier for Stable Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices are bulky and heavy due to the placement of components like backlights and loudspeakers in the display panel, leading to stability issues and difficulties in switching between standing and hanging modes, with complex wall mounting processes that require removing the base and risking damage.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a base with a pivoting carrier that houses the display panel and components, allowing for easy switching between standing and hanging modes, with a wall mount bracket that includes an extension plate for enhanced stability and structural strength, reducing the panel's weight and thickness by relocating components like the loudspeaker and circuit module to the base.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If components such as backlight module, circuit module, and loudspeaker are disposed in the display panel, then the display panel can be integrated with necessary components, but the display panel becomes thick and heavy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display device into two main segments: the display panel and the base. Components that were previously integrated into the display panel (backlight module, circuit module, loudspeaker) are relocated to the base, achieving segmentation of functions. This reduces the display panel to its essential function of displaying images while housing non-essential components in the base, thereby reducing panel weight and thickness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts unnecessary components (backlight module, circuit module, loudspeaker) from the display panel and places them in the base. This extraction process removes the weight and thickness burden from the display panel while maintaining the functionality of the overall device through the base's component housing capability.
2Strength
If the display panel is made thick and heavy to support wall mounting, then the structural strength is sufficient, but the device becomes bulky and difficult to move
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the structural support function from the display panel by introducing a separate base with carrier structure. The base, rather than the display panel, assumes the role of providing structural strength and support. This segmentation allows the display panel to be thin and lightweight while the base provides the necessary structural integrity for wall mounting and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The base acts as an intermediary between the display panel and the wall mounting system. Instead of the display panel directly bearing the full structural load, the base serves as a mediator that distributes and supports the weight, reducing the strength requirements of the display panel itself while maintaining overall structural adequacy for wall mounting.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the base is removed to enable wall mounting, then the display panel can be hung on the wall, but the wall mounting process becomes troublesome and complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with multi-functionality to serve both as a support structure for standing placement and as an integrated wall mounting system. The carrier in the base can function as either a support for the display panel in standing mode or as a wall mounting bracket when extended, eliminating the need for separate wall mounting accessories and simplifying the mounting process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the wall mounting function directly into the base structure through the carrier mechanism. Instead of requiring separate wall mounting kits or accessories, the carrier itself is designed to extend and provide wall mounting capability, combining multiple functions (support and wall mounting) into a single integrated component.
4Stability of the object's composition
If fixing components are used to secure the display panel at a fixed tilt angle, then the panel position is stable, but angle adjustment becomes complicated and troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a static fixed-angle mounting system to a dynamic adjustable system. The carrier can be extended to different positions along the extension direction, allowing the display panel to be mounted at various tilt angles. This dynamic adjustability is achieved through the extensible carrier mechanism that can be positioned at multiple locations while maintaining stable fixation at each position.

Function Achieved in This Case
The design enhances stability and structural strength, simplifies mode switching, and reduces the panel's weight and thickness, improving usability and safety by lowering the center of gravity and increasing torque support, while also streamlining the wall mounting process.

AI summary
A display device includes a display panel, a base, a circuit module, and a wall mount bracket. The base includes a base body and a carrier pivoted around the base body. The display panel is disposed on the base body. The carrier is capable of swinging between a support position and a folded position relative to the display panel. The circuit module is disposed in the carrier and is electrically connected to the display panel. The wall mount bracket is disposed on a surface of the carrier and moves to an unexpanded position or an expanded position relative to the carrier through an extension plate, so as to increase a torque when the base supports the display panel to stand or be hung on a surface.
