Post installation leveling device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mounting systems for electronic displays, such as TVs and monitors, often fail to provide effective post-installation leveling, leading to aesthetic and user satisfaction issues due to unlevel displays.
Innovation Solution
A low-cost post-installation leveling device with a wall mounting bracket assembly that includes a support frame and dual leveling assemblies with hook portions, support plates, and adjustment mechanisms, allowing for translation and adjustment of the display's position relative to the wall, ensuring level alignment without requiring removal of the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If existing mounting systems are used without post-installation leveling capability, then the installation process is simple and quick, but the display becomes unlevel leading to aesthetic issues and user dissatisfaction
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate functional modules: a fixed support frame attached to the wall, and movable leveling assemblies that can be independently adjusted. Each leveling assembly includes support plates, leveling plates, and adjustment assemblies that can be tuned separately to achieve precise leveling without complicating the entire mounting system.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system transitions from a static, fixed-position design to a dynamic system with adjustable components. The leveling assemblies can be moved and repositioned along the support rails, and the adjustment assemblies allow for fine-tuning of positions, enabling the system to adapt to different installation scenarios and achieve level alignment after installation.
2Manufacturing precision
If the display is removed for repositioning to achieve level alignment, then precise leveling can be achieved, but installation time increases and user convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame and leveling assemblies are pre-configured with adjustment mechanisms during manufacturing. The leveling assemblies are designed with built-in adjustment capabilities and engagement features that allow for easy positioning and locking, so that when installation is performed, the components are already prepared for quick adjustment without requiring removal of the display.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment assemblies are designed to be user-operable without requiring technical expertise or special tools. Users can independently adjust the leveling assemblies to achieve precise alignment by simply operating the adjustment mechanisms, eliminating the need for professional installation services or time-consuming repositioning operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed mounting system is used, then the structure is simple and cost-effective, but no post-installation adjustment is possible
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is designed to perform multiple functions: the support frame provides structural attachment to the wall, while the leveling assemblies provide both support and adjustment capabilities. The adjustment assemblies serve dual purposes of positioning and locking, and the entire system can accommodate different display sizes and weights, making it a universal solution for various mounting scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The leveling assemblies are designed with nested components where smaller adjustment mechanisms are integrated within the larger support structure. The adjustment assemblies are housed within the leveling assemblies, which in turn are attached to the support frame, creating a compact nested arrangement that adds functionality without proportionally increasing overall system complexity or size.
