Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses are often permanently or semi-permanently coupled to racks or mounts, making it inconvenient to move or reposition them without damaging the coupling mechanism.

Innovation Solution

A rear structure with a wall mount assembly featuring complementary brackets, magnets, and positioning pins that allow for removably coupling and decoupling of the display apparatus from a rack or wall, utilizing magnetic attraction and repulsion to secure and release the assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If screws and nuts are used to install the display apparatus to the rack, then the coupling is firm and reliable, but the display apparatus cannot be easily moved or repositioned

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling firmnessVSAvoidmobility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical screw-nut coupling system with a magnetic field-based coupling system. Magnets embedded in the rack and corresponding magnetic elements in the display apparatus create strong magnetic attraction forces that provide reliable coupling without requiring mechanical fasteners, enabling easy removal and repositioning while maintaining firm attachment during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Stability of the object's composition

If permanent coupling is used between the display apparatus and rack, then the connection is stable and secure, but the display apparatus cannot be repositioned to another location

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidrepositionability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a dynamic coupling system where the magnetic attraction force can easily transition between holding the display apparatus in place and allowing it to be moved. The magnetic coupling maintains stable connection during normal use but can be easily broken by applying slight pulling force, enabling the display apparatus to be repositioned or removed without permanent installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If a removable coupling mechanism is used, then the display apparatus can be easily moved, but the coupling may not be firm enough

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of removalVSAvoidcoupling firmness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes magnetic field strength as the coupling parameter, which can be easily adjusted by changing the size, material, and arrangement of the magnets. This allows the magnetic attraction force to be sufficiently strong to provide firm coupling during use, yet weak enough to allow easy removal when needed, achieving both reliability and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

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

Enables secure and firm attachment of the display apparatus to a wall or rack while allowing for easy removal and repositioning without damage, improving mobility and convenience.

Implementation Method 1

a magnetism of a side of one of the first magnets facing the second kit is opposite to a magnetism of a side of one of the second magnets facing the first kit

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetic attraction: Magnetism

Implementation Method 2

when the first kit is separated from the second kit, the first kit is rotated against the second kit for a degree so that the sides of the first magnets facing the second kit are shifted to face the second magnets having identical magnetisms

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetic repulsion: Magnetism
