Solution Overview

Problem

Existing TV mount installation methods require two people and are inconvenient and costly due to complex procedures.

Innovation Solution

A TV mount design featuring a mount body with a slidably fitted and radially constrained hanging arm assembly, allowing for single-person installation by muff-coupling hanging arms onto the mount body after lifting the TV, with adjusting and fixing members for position adjustment and fixation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the hanging arm assembly is connected to the mount body before installing the TV, then the mount structure is stable, but the installation requires two people and is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation convenienceVSAvoidinstallation procedure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging arm assembly is pre-installed on the TV back panel before the TV is mounted to the wall bracket. This preliminary action allows the TV to be lifted directly onto the wall-mounted bracket without requiring two people to handle the TV during the final mounting step, thereby improving installation convenience while maintaining structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the hanging arm assembly is connected to the TV first, then the TV can be positioned easily, but the installation requires two people and increases cost

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveTV positioning easeVSAvoidnumber of installers required
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging arm assembly is pre-assembled on the TV back panel in advance. This preliminary assembly allows the TV to be easily positioned on the wall-mounted bracket by a single installer, as the TV with pre-assembled hanging arms can be directly lifted and engaged with the bracket without requiring additional personnel for positioning and stabilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional installation methods are used, then the mount structure is stable, but the installation cost increases due to requiring two people

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemount structure stabilityVSAvoidinstallation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The hanging arm assembly is pre-installed on the TV back panel before final mounting. This preliminary action enables a single installer to complete the installation by simply lifting the TV onto the wall-mounted bracket, reducing labor costs while maintaining the structural stability of the mount through proper engagement of the hanging arms with the bracket

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

Facilitates convenient and cost-effective single-person installation of TVs by enabling the hanging arm assembly and TV to be installed first, with the hanging arms being secured to the mount body in a fixed position, reducing the need for multiple installers and lowering installation costs.

Implementation Method 1

the first annular member can be muff-coupled and slidably fitted on the member

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMuff coupling: Mechanical Fastener

Implementation Method 2

the hanging arm assembly is slidably fitted and radially constrained on the upper part of the mount body

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectRadial constraint: Mechanical Fastener

AI summary

A TV mount and method of installation are described. The TV mount can include mount a mount body placed on a horizontal plane, and a hanging arm assembly for fixed connection with a TV. The hanging arm assembly is slidably fitted and radially constrained on the upper part of the mount body, and the upper part of the mount body is provided with adjusting and fixing members that constrain the axial sliding of the hanging arm assembly. The method can include installing the hanging arm assembly on the back of a TV, and lifting the TV, and muff-coupling at least one hanging arm of the assembly on the mount body.
