Television Base with Rotating Supporting Rods for Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flatscreen television bases are inflexible and require detachment for switching between seated and hanging modes, causing inconvenience and occupying fixed space, which is not ideal for user convenience or transportation.
Innovation Solution
A television base with rotating connection portions and supporting rods that can fold or open to accommodate different usage modes, allowing the base to be securely attached to the wall without detachment, and fold for reduced packing size during transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the base is fixedly connected with the television display screen, then the stability of the television is improved, but the adaptability of the base to different usage modes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting rods are designed to be rotatable relative to the supporting base through rotating connection portions, allowing the base structure to dynamically change between extended (seated mode) and folded (hanging mode) states, thus achieving both stability in each mode and adaptability between modes
2Strength
If the base is fixedly connected with the television display screen, then the structural integrity is improved, but the ease of operation for switching usage modes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The base incorporates rotatable supporting rods with teeth and positioning pins that enable easy switching between seated and hanging modes through simple rotation, while maintaining structural integrity through the meshing teeth mechanism that prevents accidental movement
Solution Approach 2:
The base is segmented into a supporting base and multiple supporting rods that can independently rotate, allowing the structure to be reconfigured for different usage modes without compromising overall structural integrity
3Adaptability or versatility
If the supporting rods are in an extended position to support the television shell, then the functionality for seated mode is improved, but the volume occupied by the base deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting rods can rotate between extended and folded positions, allowing the base to dynamically adjust its volume occupation. In seated mode, rods extend to provide full support; in hanging mode, rods fold against the supporting base to minimize space
Solution Approach 2:
When folded, the supporting rods are positioned against the supporting base in a nested configuration, minimizing the overall volume occupied by the base structure during transportation or when wall-mounted
