Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display devices are limited to a fixed plane configuration due to their structural design, restricting their placement and application possibilities.

Innovation Solution

A fixing module with a first and second part, where the second part is slidably connected to the first part, allowing the module to be fixed to either end of a screen bracket, enabling adjustable positioning and orientation of the display device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the base is designed to be fixed on a plane (desktop), then the structure is simple and stable, but the placement and configuration possibilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplacement and configuration possibilitiesVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base is divided into a first base portion and a second base portion that can rotate relative to each other about a rotation axis. This segmentation allows the base to change its configuration from a fixed planar structure to an adjustable multi-angle structure, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and placement versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base transitions from a static fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure through the rotation mechanism between the first and second base portions. This dynamic capability enables the base to adapt to different placement scenarios while maintaining structural integrity, achieving both versatility and controlled complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the screen and bracket are pivotally connected for angle adjustment, then the viewing angle is adjustable, but the placement flexibility is still constrained by the fixed base

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle adjustmentVSAvoidconnection mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rotation mechanism in the base provides multi-functional capability by enabling both horizontal rotation and, when combined with the pivotal screen connection, vertical angle adjustment. This universal mechanism serves multiple functions (positioning, orientation, angle adjustment) without requiring separate complex systems for each function.

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