Wall mount and display apparatus having the same
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall mounts for displays are heavy, difficult to align, and require various sizes to accommodate different display sizes, leading to design degradation and inefficient inventory management, while also failing to provide easy horizontal adjustment and firm fixation to the wall.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount design featuring adjustable brackets and a guide member with multiple coupling portions allows for flexible positioning and adjustment, using a combination of materials for reduced weight and cost, along with magnetic components for secure attachment, and adjustable slits for easy level alignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a wall mount is made of heavy material to ensure stability, then the stability is improved, but the weight increases making alignment difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount is divided into multiple components: a guide member fixed to the wall, and separate first and second brackets that can be independently positioned and attached to the guide member. This segmentation allows each component to be lighter while maintaining overall stability through proper distribution and connection of parts.
2Adaptability or versatility
If various sized wall mounts are used to accommodate different display sizes, then the adaptability is improved, but the inventory management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount uses a universal guide member with multiple coupling portions that can accommodate brackets of various sizes. The guide member serves multiple functions: providing positioning guidance, enabling distance adjustment, and supporting different bracket configurations. This allows a single guide member design to work with multiple display sizes, eliminating the need for different sized wall mounts for different displays.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a groove is formed in the rear surface of the display to couple to a wall mount, then the mounting capability is improved, but the design quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism is extracted from the display itself and placed entirely on the wall mount side. The guide member and brackets provide all the coupling functionality through their coupling portions and adjusting slits, eliminating the need for any grooves or modifications to the display rear surface. This preserves the display's design integrity while maintaining full mounting capability.
4Manufacturing precision
If the distance between brackets is fixed, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the adaptability to different display sizes decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The distance between the first and second brackets is made adjustable through the guide member's multiple coupling portions. The brackets can be positioned at different distances by selecting different coupling portions, allowing the wall mount to adapt to various display sizes while maintaining precise positioning at each selected distance.
