Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wall mounting devices for display apparatuses have limitations in reducing thickness and supporting swiveling, especially for curved displays, and struggle to manage wire connections efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A wall mounting device with a display apparatus coupling unit and a wall coupling unit that allows for swiveling and wire guidance, featuring rotating pins and pin accommodating sections, along with a bearing member to support axial loads and reduce abrasion, while maintaining a compact design.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If conventional wall mounting devices use four holes arranged in a rectangle according to VESA standard, then the display apparatus can be mounted on the wall, but the thickness of the wall mounting device cannot be reduced and swiveling support is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mounting device is divided into two separate units: a display apparatus coupling unit and a wall coupling unit. This segmentation allows each unit to be optimized independently - the display apparatus coupling unit can be made thinner while the wall coupling unit provides the necessary structural support for stability and swiveling.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking parts are designed to rotate along the second direction (vertical direction) relative to the supporting sections, enabling dynamic swiveling motion. This dynamic capability allows the display apparatus to swivel while maintaining stable support through the rotating pin and pin accommodating section mechanism.
2Length of moving object
If the wall mounting device structure is simplified to reduce thickness, then compact design is achieved, but wire management capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mounting device integrates multiple functions into a compact structure. The display apparatus coupling unit not only provides mechanical coupling and swiveling support but also includes a wire guide section for cable management. This multi-functionality achieves both thinness and wire guidance capability without requiring separate components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If locking parts are arranged in the vertical direction, then swiveling motion is enabled, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking parts are segmented and arranged vertically, with each locking part independently rotatable along the vertical direction. This segmentation enables swiveling motion while keeping each individual locking part structurally simple, avoiding the need for a complex integrated mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking parts rotate along the vertical direction (second direction) rather than horizontally, utilizing the vertical dimension for swiveling motion. This dimensional approach enables swiveling capability while maintaining a compact horizontal footprint and simplifying the overall structural arrangement.
