Description
BACKGROUND

Technical Field


The present disclosure relates to a television wall mount, and specifically, to a curved-surface television wall mount.


Related Art


Existing television wall mounts are generally used for hanging flat panel televisions. However, as people increasingly demand higher viewing quality, the development of curved-surface televisions with curved display surfaces has also risen. A curved-surface television in general has an arc shape horizontally, and therefore, cannot be directly mounted by a flat panel television wall mount in the prior art. If an existing flat panel television wall mount is used, a television mounting plate cannot fit to the rear surface of the curved-surface television well, and leads to an unfavorable mounting effect and ease of looseness.


SUMMARY

A technical problem the present disclosure attempts to resolve is to overcome the disadvantages in the prior art to provide a curved-surface television wall mount capable of mounting a curved-surface television.


To resolve the aforementioned technical problem, the present invention provides a curved-surface television wall mount, comprising a wall panel for mounting on a wall surface, and two television mounting plates disposed on the wall panel for mounting a television, where the curved-surface television wall mount further includes two supports disposed on the wall panel, and the backs of the two television mounting plates are respectively connected by hinges to the two supports.


The wall panel is horizontally disposed, the supports are vertically disposed, the upper ends of the supports are provided with hanging hooks for hanging on the wall panel, and the lower ends of the supports are provided with bolts for fixing the supports to the wall panel. With this structure, when the supports are mounted, the supports are hung on the wall panel, and then, the bolts are tightened up to abut against the lower end of the wall panel to fix the supports.


Front sides of the television mounting plates are further provided with multiple mounting holes for mounting the television. The curved-surface television is mounted onto the television mounting plates by means of the mounting holes.


By using the aforementioned structure, the present disclosure has the following advantages: In the present disclosure, the television mounting plates are respectively connected by hinges to the supports, and the supports are mounted on the wall panel, so that the television mounting plates can rotate relative to the wall panel. When a curved-surface television is mounted, the front sides of the television mounting plates can fit to the back of the curved-surface television, and therefore, the curved-surface television can be mounted onto the television mounting plates by fasteners. In addition, because the television mounting plates can fit to the back of the curved-surface television, when the fasteners are tightened up, deviation, instability or looseness would not occur, so that the curved-surface television can be successfully mounted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure is further described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.


The present disclosure provides a curved-surface television wall mount, including a wall panel 1 for mounting on a wall surface, and two television mounting plates 2 disposed on the wall panel 1 for mounting a television. The curved-surface television wall mount further includes two supports 3 disposed on the wall panel 1, and the backs of the two television mounting plates 2 are respectively connected by hinges to the two supports. The front side of the television mounting plates 2 are long and narrow flat plates, the flat plates are provided with multiple mounting holes 2.1, and their backs are connected by hinges to the supports 3 The television mounting plates 2 may alternatively be connected by hinges to the supports 3 by other methods. However, the above all fall within the protection scope of the present application.


In this embodiment, the wall panel 1 is horizontally disposed on the wall surface, the two supports 3 are both hung on the wall panel 1 by hooks on the upper ends of the supports 3, and the distance between the two supports 3 can be adjusted to adapt to curved-surface televisions of different sizes. The television mounting plates 2 may correspond to vertically disposed long and narrow plates, and when the television mounting plates 2 are connected by hinges to the supports 3, hinge pins are vertically disposed, so that the television mounting plates 2 can rotate horizontally. After the two television mounting plates 2 are rotated inward to form a particular angle, the two television mounting plates 2 can fit to the back side of a curved-surface television. The angle of rotation may be set according to the curvature of the curved-surface television.


Since the television mounting plates 2 are connected by hinges to the supports 3, each of the two television mounting plates 2 can rotate. Therefore, when a curved-surface television with an arc-shaped back side is mounted, the television mounting plates 2 may be rotated inward to enable the front sides of the television mounting plates 2 to fit to the back side of the curved-surface television. Thus, the curved-surface television can be mounted by fasteners.


The wall panel 1 is horizontally disposed, the supports 3 are vertically disposed, the upper ends of the supports 3 are provided with hooks for hanging on the wall panel 1, and the lower ends of the supports 3 are provided with bolts 4 for fixing the supports 3 to the wall panel 1. With this structure, when the supports are mounted, the supports are hung on the wall panel, and then, the bolts are tightened up to abut against the lower end of the wall panel to fix the supports.


The front sides of the television mounting plates 2 are further provided with multiple mounting holes 2.1 for mounting the television. The mounting holes 2.1 include circular holes and slot holes. The curved-surface television is mounted onto the television mounting plates 2 by means of the mounting holes.
