Wall-Mounted Television With Concealed Wiring Pillars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall-mounted televisions often have messy and exposed wiring, which compromises their aesthetic appeal and increases the risk of electrical shock due to damage to the wiring.
Innovation Solution
The television design incorporates connection pillars with through holes that align with pre-embedded cable channels in the wall, allowing signal lines to be hidden within the wall, and a separate television terminal box for connecting external devices, facilitating tidy mounting and reducing operational inconvenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the television is mounted on the wall using traditional methods, then the television can be fixed securely, but the wiring becomes messy and exposed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the wiring from the external space and relocates it into the wall cavity through connection pillars with through-holes. The signal lines are routed through the pillars and hidden within the wall, separating the aesthetic television surface from the functional wiring requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where the connection pillars are embedded within the wall cavity, and the wiring is nested within the connection pillars. The pillars serve as conduits that nest the wiring system within the wall structure, creating a hierarchical nesting arrangement.
2Ease of operation
If the wiring is exposed externally for connection, then external devices can be connected, but the wiring is easily damaged causing electric shock
Solution Approach 1:
The connection pillars serve as intermediary structures between the external environment and the internal wiring system. They provide a protected pathway that mediates the connection process, allowing wiring to be accessed through the pillar structure rather than being directly exposed, thus reducing damage risk while maintaining connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary routing of wiring through the connection pillars during the mounting phase. The wiring is pre-positioned within the protected pillar structure before the television is fully installed, establishing safety protections in advance rather than requiring post-installation modifications.
3Shape
If signal lines are routed through the wall, then the appearance becomes tidy, but the connection process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the wiring routing process into distinct modular components: connection pillars with through-holes, wall cavity spaces, and standardized routing paths. This segmentation breaks down the complex routing task into manageable segments that can be assembled systematically, reducing overall complexity despite the improved appearance.

AI summary
Disclosed is a television, which comprises a television main body having a plurality of signal terminals and being used for displaying audio and video information and a plurality of connection pillars for fixedly mounting the television main body on a wall, wherein at least one of the connection pillars is provided with a through hole for guiding a signal line connecting the signal terminals into the wall, and the through hole penetrates through the connection pillar in an axial direction. In the present invention, a television terminal box is added in the television, the television terminal box and the television main body are arranged separately, and same is connected to the television main body via a connection line. The television is connected to an external device via the television terminal box. When a user needs to connect the television main body to an external device, the external device can be connected to a signal port corresponding to the television terminal box via the connection line. The television terminal box and the television main body are arranged separately and the operation space is not limited in the process of plugging or unplugging a line, so that operations are very convenient.
