[0075] The advantages and features of the present invention, as well as methods for achieving the same, will be more readily understood by describing them in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the present invention may be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable this disclosure to be more thorough, comprehensive, and fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0076] First, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2A and Figure 2B shown. Figure 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the display stand kit of the present invention; Figure 2A A perspective exploded view of the display stand kit of the present invention from one perspective; Figure 2B The display stand kit 1 includes a stand mounting base 10 , an expansion device 20 , a locking module 30 and a clamping component 40 .

[0077] The stand mounting base 10 comprises a combined base 11 and a pedestal 12, with the base 11 fixedly attached to the center of the rear side of the pedestal 12. The base 11 comprises a sleeve structure 111, a receiving slot 112, and an adjustment hole 113. The sleeve structure 111 is located at the top of the base 11 and is used to mount a monitor's stand structure or cantilever structure (not shown). The receiving slot 112 is located below the sleeve structure 111 and has a downwardly opening.

[0078] The adjustment hole 113 extends between the bottom surface of the sleeve structure 111 and the top surface of the receiving groove 112, and is adapted to allow a clamping bolt S to pass through. In this embodiment, the clamping bolt S includes a head portion S1 and a shaft portion S2 coupled to the head portion S1. The adjustment hole 113 comprises a recess 1131 on the side of the sleeve structure 111 and a through-hole portion 1132 extending from the recess 1131 to the top surface of the receiving groove 112. The diameter of the recess 1131 is larger than that of the through-hole portion 1132. Thus, when the clamping bolt S is installed in the adjustment hole 113, the head portion S1 is rotatably disposed in the recess 1131, while the end of the shaft portion S2, distal from the head portion S1 (i.e., distal from the sleeve structure 111), passes through the through-hole portion 1132 and emerges from the receiving groove 112.

[0079] The clamping component 40 includes an upper clamping plate 41, a lower clamping plate 42, and a side plate 43 connecting the upper and lower clamping plates. The upper clamping plate 41 has an adjustment screw hole 411 extending therethrough, and the lower clamping plate 42 is provided with an anti-slip protection pad 421 on the side facing the upper clamping plate 41. When the lower clamping plate 42 contacts the surface of other objects, the anti-slip protection pad 421 can provide anti-slip and buffering protection functions. On the other hand, the end of the shaft portion S2 away from the head end portion S1 can be screwed into the adjustment screw hole 411, so that the user can move the clamping component 40 by rotating the tightening bolt S through the head end portion S1 to adjust the position of the clamping component 40, or allow the clamping component 40 to continue to move upward so that the clamping component 40 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 112.

[0080] The base 12 includes: a mounting groove 121, a limiting protrusion 122, a locking screw hole 123 and a fixing bolt 124. The mounting groove 121 is arranged in the center of the front side of the base 12, and the locking module 30 can be installed in the mounting groove 121. The limiting protrusion 122 is arranged on the upper surface of the base 12 and is located above the mounting groove 121; and the locking screw hole 123 is arranged on both sides of the mounting groove 121, and the opening of the locking screw hole 123 is also opened on the upper surface of the base 12. On the other hand, the fixing bolt 124 includes a spherical locking structure 1241 and a locking screw 1242 connected to the spherical locking structure 1241. Among them, the fixing bolt 124 can be screwed into the locking screw hole 123 by the locking screw 1242, and the spherical locking structure 1241 is exposed on the upper surface of the base 12.

[0081] Please continue reading Figure 2B . The expansion device 20 includes: a connection port 21, a locking hole 22, a limiting hole 23 and two ball-shaped locking recesses 24. The connection port 21, such as: a VGA connection port, an HDMI connection port, a USB / Type-C connection port, a network connection port, an audio source jack or a power jack, is arranged on one side of the expansion device 20. The locking hole 22, the limiting hole 23 and the two ball-shaped locking recesses 24 are all arranged on the bottom surface of the expansion device 20. Among them, the locking hole 22 is used to engage with the locking module 30 installed in the installation slot 121; the limiting hole 23 and the two ball-shaped locking recesses 24 respectively correspond to the limiting protrusion 122 and the ball-shaped locking structure 1241 on the upper surface of the base 12, and can cooperate with the limiting protrusion 122 and the ball-shaped locking structure 1241.

[0082] See also Figure 3A , Figure 3A The figure is a three-dimensional exploded view of the locking module of the present invention. The locking module 30 includes: a push member 31 and a buckle member 32. The push member 31 includes a pressing end 311 and a connecting arm 312 that are arranged opposite to each other, and two elastic arms 313 arranged between the pressing end 311 and the connecting arm 312. Among them, the pressing end 311 has a button structure 3111; and the two connecting arms 312 have two opposite arc-shaped sliding holes 3121. Although this embodiment only proposes an implementation method of two paired connecting arms 312, each having an arc-shaped sliding hole 3121, in actual application, only one connecting arm 312 (equipped with an arc-shaped sliding hole 3121) can be provided, and the implementation method proposed in this embodiment is not limited.

[0083] The elastic arms 313 extend outward from both sides of the push member 31 body and have an S-shaped elastic bending structure. In this embodiment, the two elastic arms 313 extend outward from both sides near the pressing end 311. However, in actual application, the position of the elastic arms 313 can be adjusted according to the installation position of the push member 31 and is not limited to the implementation method proposed in this embodiment.

[0084] Please continue reading Figure 3A . The buckling member 32 includes a connecting portion 321 and a buckling portion 322 that are combined. Among them, the buckling portion 322 has a hook structure 3221 at one end away from the connecting portion 321; the buckling portion 322 and the connecting portion 321 have a first rotating shaft 323 on both sides of the junction; the connecting portion 321 has a second rotating shaft 324 on both sides, and the buckling member 322 can pass the second rotating shaft 324 through the arc-shaped sliding hole 3121 of the connecting arm 312, and be combined with the connecting arm 312 of the pushing member 31. Although this embodiment only proposes an implementation method of setting the second rotating shaft 324 on both sides of the connecting portion 321, in actual application, if the pushing member 31 is only provided with one connecting arm 312, the second rotating shaft 324 can also be set only on the side of the connecting portion 321 corresponding to the connecting arm 312, and is not limited to the implementation method proposed in this embodiment.

[0085] See also Figure 3B , Figure 3B This is a partially enlarged perspective view of the base of the present invention. Figure 3B In the embodiment, the mounting slot 121 has a first opening 1211 formed on the side edge of the base 12 and a second opening 1212 formed on the upper surface of the base 12. A positioning seat 1213 and a pivot seat 1214 are further disposed within the mounting slot 121. The positioning seat 1213 is fixedly mounted within the mounting slot 121 and adjacent to the first opening 1211. The pivot seat 1214 is fixedly mounted within the mounting slot 121 and located on opposite sides of the second opening 1212. The pivot seat 1214 has two opposing pivot holes 12141 formed therein.

[0086] Please also refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3B When the engaging module 30 is installed in the mounting slot 121, the elastic arm 313 of the push member 31 engages with the positioning seat 1213, thereby securing the push member 31. This allows the button structure 3111 of the pressing end 311 to be exposed within the first opening 1211, and allows the push member 31 to potentially move toward the first opening 1211. Compared to designs that use springs for elastic recovery, the elastic arm 313 proposed in the present invention simultaneously secures the push member 31 and elastically resets it. This not only simplifies the installation of the engaging module 30, but also reduces the complexity of the overall structural design of the bracket mounting base 10.

[0087] The first rotating shaft 323 of the buckling member 32 is passed through the two pivot holes 12141 of the pivot seat 1214 and is pivotally connected to the pivot seat 1214 , with the buckling portion 322 being away from one end of the connecting portion 321 , that is, the hook 3221 and part of the buckling portion 322 can be exposed in the second opening 1212 .

[0088] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the bracket mounting base of the present invention installed on a desktop. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the user can use the upper and lower clamping plates 41 and 42 to clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the computer desk T to install the clamping member 40 on the side edge of the computer desk T. In addition, when the user rotates the clamping bolt S with the head end S1 to move the clamping member 40 upward, the anti-slip protection pad 421 on the lower clamping plate 42 can be tightly pressed against the lower surface of the computer desk T, allowing the bracket mounting base 10 to be firmly placed on the computer desk T. In other possible embodiments, the upper surface of the lower clamping plate 42 can also be directly pressed against the lower surface of the computer desk T, and the embodiment is not limited to the embodiment proposed in this embodiment.

[0089] See also 5A to 5D . 5A to 5D The expansion device of the present invention is installed on the bracket mounting seat. When the user installs the expansion device 20 on the base 12, the buckle portion 322 exposed in the second opening 1212 can be engaged with the engaging hole 22 of the expansion device 20 (such as Figure 5A As shown in FIG. 1 ), the expansion device 20 is fixed to the base 12. In this embodiment, the hook structure 3221 of the buckling portion 322 is pressed against the inner surface of the engaging hole 22 to thereby fix the expansion device 20. On the other hand, the limiting protrusion 122 on the upper surface of the base 12 is embedded in the limiting hole 23 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5A At the same time, the ball-shaped engaging structure 1241 will also be engaged with the ball-shaped engaging recess 241 (as shown); Figure 5D shown).

[0090] The cooperation between the limiting protrusion 122 and the limiting hole 23, and the cooperation between the spherical engaging structure 1241 and the spherical engaging recess 241, not only limits the horizontal movement of the expansion device 20 installed on the base 12, but also provides an anti-mock function. The user can utilize the cooperation between the limiting protrusion 122 and the limiting hole 23, or the cooperation between the spherical engaging structure 1241 and the spherical engaging recess 241, to align the engaging hole 22 of the expansion device 20 with the second opening 1212 on the base 12, allowing the user to install the expansion device 20 more easily and quickly.

[0091] Please continue reading Figure 5BWhen the user wants to remove the expansion device 20, the user can press the button structure 3111 of the pressing end 311, so that the connecting arm 312 pushes the connecting portion 321 of the buckling member 32, and the buckling member 32 rotates around the first rotating shaft 323. At the same time, the second rotating shaft 324 will slide in the arc-shaped sliding hole 3211, so that the buckling portion 322 moves away from one end of the connecting portion 321, that is, the hook structure 3221, and disengages from the inner surface of the engaging hole 22. In this way, the user can lift the expansion device 20 upward and easily remove the expansion device 20 from the base 12 (such as Figure 5C In addition, the expansion device 20 removed from the base 12 can also be used as an independent external expansion device, further improving the convenience of use.

[0092] Compared to existing technologies, the monitor stand kit provided by the present invention is equipped with a detachable expansion device. The quick-release snap-on module installed in the stand's mounting base allows users to easily and quickly install or remove the expansion device according to their needs. Furthermore, the detached expansion device can be used as a standalone external expansion device, further enhancing its convenience. Therefore, the present invention is an invention of great industrial value.
