Quick-Detachable Mounting Assembly for Flat-Panel Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing mounting systems for large flat-panel display devices are cumbersome and risk damage during installation, as they require complex procedures and are not easily removable, especially when attaching to brackets or suspension arms, which can lead to complications and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A quick-detachable mounting assembly comprising a mounting unit with a coupling plate and a locking unit, featuring hooks, a stop flange, pivot holes, and a torsional spring, allowing for secure attachment and easy detachment by pivoting the locking bar between locked and unlocked positions, along with a lubrication pad for smooth operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If connecting plates are affixed to the bracket or suspension arm for mounting the big-size flat-panel display device, then the display device can be securely mounted, but the installation is subject to the locations of the connecting plates and the procedure is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate modular components: a mounting plate that attaches to the display device and a connecting plate that attaches to the bracket. These segments can be independently positioned and assembled, eliminating the need for precise pre-positioned connecting plates and simplifying the installation procedure while maintaining secure mounting through the modular connection mechanism.
2Reliability
If the big-size flat-panel display device is accommodated to the parts of the bracket or suspension arm, then mounting is possible, but there is danger of damage to the display device
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting plate serves as an intermediary component between the display device and the bracket system. It distributes mounting forces across multiple attachment points on the display device背面, avoiding concentrated stress that could damage the display. The mounting plate with its multiple mounting holes provides a robust interface that protects the display device from direct mechanical stress while enabling secure mounting to the bracket.
3Reliability
If screws are used to affix the mounting screw holes of the big-size flat-panel display device to the bracket, then secure connection is achieved, but the dismounting procedure is complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism transitions from a static screwed connection to a dynamic quick-release system. The lever-operated locking mechanism allows the connecting plate to be securely locked in position during operation, providing reliable connection strength. For dismounting, the lever can be quickly actuated to release the locking action, enabling rapid removal without the complicated unscrewing procedure, thus achieving both secure connection and ease of operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a secure and easy-to-use mounting system that simplifies the installation and removal of large flat-panel displays, reducing the risk of damage and streamlining the process, while ensuring smooth operation through the use of a torsional spring and lubrication for efficient locking and unlocking.
Implementation Method 1
a torsional spring supported on the pivot bolt. The locking bar is biasable relative to the connecting plate between a first position where the torsional spring is compressed to force the locking bar and the connecting plate toward the coupling plate
Implementation Method 2
a lubrication pad mounted on the pivot bolt between the flat bottom lug and the locking bar, having a plurality of oil holes for accommodating a lubrication oil

AI summary
A quick-detachable mounting assembly includes a mounting unit formed of a mounting plate for supporting an external member and a coupling plate coupled to the mounting plate, the coupling plate having L-shaped top hooks and a bottom stop flange, and a locking unit formed of a coupling plate hung on the top hooks of the connecting plate and a spring-supported locking bar pivoted to the connecting plate and biasable relative to the connecting plate between the locking position where a backward locking tongue of the locking bar is hooked on a bottom stop flange of the coupling plate and a flat bottom lug of the connecting plate to lock the connecting plate to the coupling plate and the unlocking position where the locking tongue is suspending in one opening at one side of the bottom stop to release the connecting plate from the coupling plate for allowing removal of the connecting plate from the coupling plate.
