Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall mount frames face a trade-off between structural strength and convenient operation, often requiring multiple screws for detachment and attachment, which complicates the mounting process and may result in insufficient engagement strength due to shallow hook-engagement structures.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount assembly utilizing a slide and slider mechanism with positioning indentations and bosses, allowing for easy alignment and engagement, providing three-point support and orientating effect, while ensuring required engagement strength through geometric design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If multiple screws are used for mounting, then structural strength is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional screw-based mechanical fastening system with a slide-and-lock mechanism. The slider component engages with the slide structure through gravitational force and geometric constraints, eliminating the need for multiple screws while maintaining mounting strength. This substitution transforms a complex multi-screw operation into a simple single-action slide operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the fundamental parameter of engagement from rotational screw threads to linear sliding motion with gravitational assistance. By altering the engagement mechanism from threaded fastening to gravity-assisted sliding into a locked position, the system achieves both strong mounting and operational simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If hook-engagement structures are used for detachment, then ease of operation is improved, but structural strength deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dynamic engagement system where the slider can be easily inserted through simple sliding motion, and upon release, it automatically locks into position through gravitational force and geometric constraints. The engagement transitions from a static multi-screw state to a dynamic single-action state, maintaining strength while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The slider structure is designed to self-lock automatically upon insertion. The gravitational force and geometric configuration cause the slider to engage deeply with the slide structure without requiring additional fastening elements, providing both ease of operation and sufficient engagement strength through self-service locking.
3Strength
If engagement depth is increased to improve strength, then structural strength is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the engagement system into two functional segments: the slider component and the slide structure with positioning indentations. This segmentation allows the engagement depth to be achieved through the linear travel distance of the slider rather than requiring a complex deep single-piece structure, maintaining strength while reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention achieves engagement depth through linear dimensional extension along the sliding path rather than through complex three-dimensional interlocking. The slider travels linearly into the slide structure, creating a simple deep engagement without requiring complex multi-directional structural features.

Implementation Method 1
By the gravity of the object, the slider can slide to the stop position
Implementation Method 2
the first positioning boss and the second positioning boss are embedded in the first positioning indentation and the second positioning indentation respectively

AI summary
A wall mount assembly includes a first engagement member and a second engagement member. The first engagement member includes a slide structure and two positioning indentations oppositely disposed relative to the slide structure. The second engagement member includes a slider and two positioning bosses oppositely disposed relative to the slider. The first engagement member and the second engagement member are capable of being correspondingly disposed on an object and a wall. When the slider enters the slide structure from an entrance of the slide structure and is confined to slide relative to the slide structure so as to be blocked at a stop position of the slide structure, the two positioning bosses are embedded in the two positioning indentations respectively so that the object can be fixed on the wall stably. Therefore, the wall mount assembly simplifies the wall-mount operation of the object and provides a stable wall-mount effect.
