Quick Release Assembly for Display Screen Mounting Without Screws
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing quick release mechanisms for display screens are not easily adaptable to different sizes and weights, leading to high production and manufacturing costs due to specific structural requirements, making them inconvenient for maintenance and adjustment.
Innovation Solution
A quick release assembly comprising a first and second quick release unit, with the first unit attached to a support and the second unit to the display screen, featuring aligning hooks, fixing hooks, and an elastic member, allowing for easy attachment and detachment by pressing a button, accommodating various VESA-standard mounting hole configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a screwing manner is used to attach the display screen to the support, then the connection is secure and reliable, but the mounting and dismounting process is time-consuming and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The quick release assembly is divided into separate components: a first quick release unit on the support and a second quick release unit on the display screen. These units can be independently assembled and disassembled, allowing rapid mounting and dismounting while maintaining secure connection when engaged.
Solution Approach 2:
The quick release mechanism incorporates movable components such as the driven-stop plate and button that can dynamically transition between engaged and disengaged states. The elastic member provides dynamic force to maintain engagement, while the button enables rapid state change for quick mounting and dismounting.
2Ease of operation
If a specific structure is provided on the back surface of the display panel housing, then quick release function is achieved, but the structure cannot be standardized through international agreement and results in low production commonality
Solution Approach 1:
The quick release assembly is designed with universal compatibility in mind. The first and second quick release units can be paired with any display screen that has mounting holes, regardless of size. The aligning hooks and fixing hooks provide standardized engagement that works across different display configurations, enabling one support to serve multiple display sizes and weights.
Solution Approach 2:
The quick release assembly acts as an intermediary between the support and the display screen. Rather than modifying the display screen housing with complex structures, the assembly uses simple mounting holes that can be standardized through VESA agreements, while the quick release units provide the rapid engagement and disengagement functionality.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a support is designed for one specific specification, then it can provide stable support, but it cannot match display panels of different sizes and weights
Solution Approach 1:
The support is designed with universal compatibility through the quick release assembly. By using standardized mounting holes and the quick release mechanism, a single support design can accommodate display panels of various sizes and weights, eliminating the need for multiple support specifications while maintaining stable support for each configuration.
4Ease of manufacture
If traditional mounting methods are used, then production costs are controlled, but development and manufacturing costs cannot be effectively reduced due to lack of standardization
Solution Approach 1:
The quick release assembly provides a universal mounting solution that can be used across different display products. By standardizing the mounting interface through VESA-compatible holes and the quick release mechanism, manufacturers can reduce development and manufacturing costs by using the same assembly design for multiple product lines, improving production efficiency and reducing inventory complexity.
