Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional wall mount type display devices have complex installation configurations and methods, making them difficult to install and stabilize.

Innovation Solution

A wall mount type display device with a wall mount assembly that includes a pair of supporting bars with variable inclination, a first link, a second link, and a fixing member, allowing for easy adjustment and stable support of the display device by sliding the supporting bars along a long hole and using a latch for secure positioning.

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 installation configuration becomes complicated and the installation method becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestable supportVSAvoidinstallation bracket configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount assembly is divided into separate functional components: a mounting plate for wall attachment, an articulation mechanism with multiple links for positioning, and a support arm for holding the display. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall configuration while maintaining stable support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The articulation mechanism incorporates movable links and joints that allow dynamic adjustment of the mounting angle and position. The links can rotate and articulate to provide multiple mounting configurations, enabling both stable support and flexible installation without requiring a complex fixed structure.

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 method
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting plate is pre-attached to the wall with appropriate fixtures before the display device is mounted. This preliminary action simplifies the installation process by creating a stable base structure first, allowing the articulation mechanism and support arm to be easily attached without requiring complex simultaneous adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The articulation mechanism with movable links allows for easy adjustment during installation. The links can be positioned and locked into place through simple rotational movements, making the installation method straightforward while ensuring stable support for the display device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the supporting bars are made adjustable for variable inclination, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinclination adjustmentVSAvoidsupporting bar mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting bars are designed with articulation joints that allow smooth rotational movement for inclination adjustment. The dynamic nature of these joints enables easy changing of angles while maintaining structural integrity, providing operational ease without requiring complex locking mechanisms or multiple discrete components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The inclination adjustment function is merged into the existing articulation mechanism of the wall mount assembly. The same links and joints that provide positioning functionality also enable inclination adjustment, eliminating the need for separate adjustment mechanisms and reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
