Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wall panels for audio-visual systems often have fixed openings, which are either too large for fewer wires or too small for more wires, leading to aesthetic issues and inconvenience.

Innovation Solution

A wall panel with a movable opening adjusting plate that can be slidably arranged within a sliding groove, allowing for adjustable opening sizes by engaging with clamping grooves and bumps, enabling passage of wires of different specifications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed opening is provided in the wall panel, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the opening size cannot be adjusted leading to aesthetic issues or inconvenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening size adaptabilityVSAvoidpanel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the opening adjusting plate movable within the outlet. The plate can be slid to different positions to change the opening size dynamically, allowing the same panel structure to adapt to different wire quantities. The sliding groove and bump-clamping groove mechanism enable smooth adjustment while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a movable opening adjusting plate is added to allow size adjustment, then adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening size adjustabilityVSAvoidoutlet structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The outlet is segmented into multiple functional components: the opening adjusting plate, sliding groove, bumps, and clamping grooves. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function - the plate adjusts the opening, the groove guides movement, and the bump-clamping groove mechanism secures the plate in position. This modular approach makes the complexity manageable and the assembly straightforward.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sliding groove acts as an intermediary element between the opening adjusting plate and the outlet structure. It provides a guided path for the plate's movement while the bumps and clamping grooves serve as intermediary locking mechanisms. These intermediary components facilitate smooth adjustment while maintaining structural stability without requiring complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present invention discloses a wall panel suitable for incoming and outgoing wires of audio-visual system, which includes a panel. The middle of the panel is provided with an outlet. The back surface of the panel is fixed with an inlet box. The lower end surface of the inlet box is provided with an inlet. The upper space and lower end of the panel are provided with a mounting hole, respectively. An opening adjusting plate is slidably arranged inside the outlet. The wall panel suitable for incoming and outgoing wires of audio-visual system can change the size of the opening by arranging a movable opening adjusting plate at the outlet, and wires with different specifications can be held, so much space is available. Moreover, since bumps are provided, after the position adjustment, the opening adjusting plate is engaged with clamping grooves.
