Detachable Teleconferencing Stand for Desk-to-Wall Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of teleconferencing devices face inconvenience and high costs due to the need for additional mechanisms to change the device's placement and orientation from a desk to a wall or adjust the angle, as existing solutions require costly brackets and adapters.
Innovation Solution
A teleconferencing device design featuring a rear stand with a hollow portion that forms a housing around wall-mount platforms, allowing for detachable and adjustable mounting to both surfaces and angles, enabling easy transition from desk to wall mounting and adjustable angle settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional mounting mechanisms (brackets and adapters) are used to change placement and orientation, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The rear stand is designed to perform multiple functions: it can be detached to expose wall-mount platforms for wall mounting, or attached to provide desk/stand mounting with angle adjustment. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate brackets and adapters, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining high adaptability across different mounting scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the functions of multiple separate mounting mechanisms (desk stand and wall-mount bracket) into a single integrated rear stand assembly. The rear stand houses wall-mount platforms within its hollow portion and can be detachably connected to the back pane, combining what would traditionally require separate components into one unified structure that reduces complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional mounting mechanisms (brackets and adapters) are used to change placement and orientation, then adaptability is improved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rear stand serves multiple mounting functions (desk and wall mounting) in a single component, eliminating the need to manufacture and supply multiple separate brackets and adapters. This reduces bill of materials costs and simplifies manufacturing processes while providing the same adaptability benefits
Solution Approach 2:
By combining multiple mounting functions into one integrated rear stand assembly, the invention reduces the total number of parts that need to be manufactured, assembled, and inventoried. This consolidation lowers manufacturing costs and simplifies supply chain management while maintaining full adaptability
3Ease of operation
If detachable rear stand with wall-mount platforms is used, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into modular components: a detachable rear stand and integrated wall-mount platforms. The rear stand can be easily detached from the back pane to transition from desk to wall mounting, and the wall-mount platforms are positioned within the hollow portion of the rear stand. This segmentation allows simple tool-free transitions while keeping the overall system integrated and manageable
