Solution Overview

Problem

Existing TV panel mounts are inflexible, making it difficult to adjust the horizontal position of the TV panel to align with the viewer's seating arrangement, which can affect the viewing experience, especially in environments with fixed furniture positions.

Innovation Solution

A TV panel mount design featuring a wall chassis with parallel slide rails and a slidable mounting base that includes an adjustment member to adjust friction, allowing for easy sliding and fixing of the mounting bracket, enabling precise horizontal adjustment of the TV panel's position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the TV panel mount is fixedly connected to the wall, then the mounting structure is stable and reliable, but the horizontal position of the TV panel cannot be adjusted to align with seating arrangements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of horizontal positionVSAvoidstability of mounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting base is designed to be slidable along the wall chassis rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the TV panel's horizontal position. The slide rail and slidable frame enable smooth movement while maintaining structural integrity during adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The friction between the slidable frame and slide rail is adjustable through an adjustment member, allowing users to change the friction parameter to either enable easy sliding for repositioning or increase friction to lock the position for stable viewing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the TV panel mount is made adjustable, then the horizontal position can be optimized for viewing, but the mounting structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of horizontal positionVSAvoidcomplexity of mounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into distinct functional modules: wall chassis, slide rails, mounting base with slidable frame, and adjustment member. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while keeping the overall structure manageable and understandable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The slidable frame acts as an intermediary component between the fixed wall chassis and the movable mounting bracket. It provides the interface for friction-based adjustment, enabling position control without requiring complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the mounting structure uses sliding mechanism, then the horizontal position can be easily adjusted, but the stability during viewing may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of position adjustmentVSAvoidstability during viewing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The friction parameter between the slidable frame and slide rail can be dynamically changed through the adjustment member. When adjusting position, friction is reduced for smooth movement; when viewing, friction is increased to lock the position and ensure stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A TV panel mount, characterized by including: a wall chassis; a mounting base slidably connected to the wall chassis; a mounting bracket assembled with the mounting base for mounting a TV panel, where the wall chassis is provided with parallel slide rails, and the mounting base includes a slidable frame having an inner side to be attached to an outer side of each of the slide rails; and an adjustment member mounted in the slidable frame to adjust the friction between the slidable frame and the slide rail so that the slidable frame can slide or be fixed along an extension direction of the slide rail.
