Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional wall mount assembly is used, then the display device can be mounted on the wall, but the configuration of the installation bracket becomes complicated and the installation method becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestable supportVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly is divided into separate functional components: supporting bars for load-bearing, links for connection and adjustment, and a fixing member for wall attachment. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, simplifying the overall configuration while maintaining stable support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting bars are designed with adjustable inclination angles, allowing dynamic adaptation to different installation scenarios. The links can rotate relative to the supporting bars, providing flexibility in positioning while maintaining structural stability. This dynamic capability reduces configuration complexity by enabling a single design to accommodate multiple installation requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If a conventional wall mount assembly is used, then the display device can be mounted on the wall, but the installation method becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestable supportVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly is pre-assembled with the supporting bars, links, and fixing member connected in a predetermined configuration. The supporting bars are pre-positioned with long holes that guide the links during installation. This preliminary preparation simplifies the installation process by eliminating the need for complex on-site assembly operations while ensuring stable support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The links serve as intermediary components between the supporting bars and the fixing member, facilitating easy connection and adjustment. The rotatable connection allows the links to act as mediators that can accommodate misalignments and simplify the installation process by providing a tolerance buffer during mounting operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If the supporting bars are made rigid and fixed, then stable support is achieved, but adjustment of display height becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestable supportVSAvoidheight adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting bars incorporate rotatable links that allow controlled movement between fixed and adjustable states. The links can rotate to change the inclination angle of the supporting bars, enabling height adjustment while maintaining structural stability during each positioned state. This dynamic mechanism provides both rigidity for support and flexibility for adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The inclination angle of the supporting bars is changed as a key parameter to achieve both stable support and height adjustment. By varying the angle within a controlled range, the system maintains stability through the rigid supporting bars while achieving adaptability through the adjustable angle, resolved by the rotatable link mechanism that enables parameter change without compromising structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
