Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wall-mounted display devices face difficulties in adjusting viewing angles due to cumbersome mechanisms, struggle with supporting large TVs, and require additional processing and manufacturing costs, while exposing wires detract from the appearance.

Innovation Solution

A lifting device with VESA holes on the display apparatus, featuring a wire coupled to fixing units and spacing members, allows for easy angle adjustment and secure mounting without additional processing, using a wire hanger to attach to the wall and prevent wire exposure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a wire fixing part is integrally formed with the back cover to fix the wire, then the wire can be fixed to the display apparatus, but the wire fixing part has difficulty in firmly supporting a large-size wall-mounted TV and may be damaged by the weight of the TV

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire fixing part strengthVSAvoidback cover structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wire fixing function is separated from the back cover by using a separate wire. The wire acts as an independent load-bearing component that connects the display apparatus to the wall-mounted device, eliminating the need for the back cover to directly support the TV weight. This segmentation allows the back cover to remain simple while the wire and wall-mounted device handle the structural load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If the wire fixing part is provided at the back cover of the wall-mounted TV, then the wire can be fixed, but additional processing is required and manufacturing costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire fixing part manufacturingVSAvoidback cover structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wire fixing function is extracted from the back cover structure and implemented through a separate wire component. This eliminates the need for additional processing of the back cover, such as forming integral wire fixing parts or adding mounting features. The wire can be independently attached to existing holes or mounting points on the back cover without requiring complex manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If the wire is exposed to an area outside of the display apparatus, then the wire can be used for mounting, but it causes deterioration in outer appearance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire accessibilityVSAvoiddisplay apparatus appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The wire is routed through specific pathways and concealed within the display apparatus structure where possible, while maintaining its load-bearing function. The wire passes through holes in the back cover and connects to the wall-mounted device in a manner that keeps it hidden from view when the display apparatus is mounted, thus preserving appearance while ensuring proper mounting functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
