Wall mount system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall mount systems struggle to securely mount monitors on uneven or contoured walls while maintaining a continuous, planar display configuration, as they often require individual adjustment and alignment of multiple monitors, which is complicated by the weight and shape of the monitors, leading to potential instability and awkward positioning.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount system featuring adjustable wall mount assemblies with depth, tilt, skew, and horizontal adjustment features, allowing for independent expansion or contraction to accommodate uneven walls, and a guide bar system that aligns monitors edge-to-edge, ensuring stable and level mounting of multiple monitors on non-planar surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If multiple monitors are individually mounted to uneven walls using conventional wall mounts, then each monitor can be supported, but the monitors cannot be aligned to form a continuous planar display
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount system is divided into separate adjustable components: wall brackets mounted to the wall, a guide bar that spans between brackets, and monitor mounts that attach to the guide bar. Each component can be independently adjusted to accommodate wall irregularities while maintaining overall alignment.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide bar serves as an intermediary element between the wall brackets and monitor mounts. It provides a stable reference line that ensures monitors are aligned horizontally while allowing the wall brackets to compensate for uneven wall surfaces through independent depth adjustment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If wall brackets are positioned to accommodate recesses or raised portions of uneven walls, then the wall mount can be installed, but the monitor must be positioned in an awkward location
Solution Approach 1:
The wall bracket includes an adjustable arm with multiple position settings that can be dynamically configured to reach around wall irregularities. This allows the bracket to adapt to recesses or raised portions while still positioning the monitor at a convenient, natural viewing height and location.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable arm mechanism changes the positional parameters of the wall bracket relative to the wall surface. By modifying the extension and angle of the arm, the system compensates for wall irregularities and achieves optimal monitor positioning despite installation challenges.
3Manufacturing precision
If the depth of each wall mount assembly is independently adjusted to account for wall contours, then the guide bar can be properly positioned, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The depth adjustment mechanism uses a telescopic arm with lockable positions that can be dynamically adjusted during installation. This provides the necessary precision for positioning the guide bar while keeping the adjustment mechanism relatively simple through discrete, lockable positions rather than continuous adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall bracket depth is adjusted and locked into position before the guide bar is installed. This preliminary positioning ensures that when the guide bar is attached, it is already properly aligned, simplifying the overall installation process and reducing the complexity of coordinating multiple adjustments simultaneously.
