Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional mounting brackets with multiple parts are used, then connection stability is maintained, but installation and disassembly efficiency deteriorates due to complicated installation steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation efficiencyVSAvoidnumber of parts
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate components (connector bodies, locking mechanisms, and connecting elements) into an integrated mounting bracket structure. The first and second connectors are formed as part of the same bracket assembly, reducing the total number of discrete parts and simplifying the installation process while maintaining connection stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting bracket design incorporates multiple functions within a single structure: the rod body provides structural support, the connectors enable joining of adjacent brackets, and the integrated locking mechanism ensures secure connections. This multi-functional design reduces the need for separate components and improves installation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple parts are used between adjacent mounting brackets, then connection reliability is improved, but the installation process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The locking mechanisms and connecting structures are pre-integrated into the mounting bracket design during manufacturing. The first and second connectors are already positioned and configured on the rod body, eliminating the need for complex assembly steps during installation and reducing installation time while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If a simple connection mechanism is used, then installation efficiency is improved, but connection stability and safety may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation efficiencyVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket incorporates self-locking mechanisms where the elastic member automatically engages with the locking groove when the connectors are joined. This self-service feature ensures connection stability without requiring additional fastening operations or complex assembly steps, maintaining both installation efficiency and connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A mounting bracket and a display device, wherein the mounting bracket includes a rod body (100), a first connector (200), a second connector (300) and a sleeve (400). The rod body (100) has the first connector (200) connected to a first end (110); the second connector (300) connected to a second end (120); the sleeve (400) is provided at the second end (120) and is sleeved on the second connector (300), when two adjacent mounting brackets need to be connected, the sleeve (400) drives the second connector (300) to rotate so that the second connector (300) is connected to the first connector (200) of the adjacent mounting bracket, so as to realize the connection of the two adjacent mounting brackets. With the mounting bracket provided by the present application, when two adjacent mounting brackets are to be connected, the connection can be achieved by simply rotating the sleeve (400), which is easy to operate and improves the efficiency of connection or disassembly.
