Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DCS system technology, specifically to a display device for DCS systems. Background Technology

[0002] DCS is a technology that integrates computers, communications, displays, and controls for process control and monitoring. DCS displays play a key role in distributed control systems, being assigned to various operator seats. Each display is assigned a display area, known as a viewport, which means that the content is projected onto this specific viewport, thus providing the operator with the necessary view of information.

[0003] The application number "202321436952.9" discloses a "monitoring display supporting a DCS system," which "includes a display screen, a ventilator fixedly connected to the surface of the display screen, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the display screen, a base rotatably connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the display screen, a rotating structure provided on the upper surface of the base, the rotating structure including a connecting plate, the connecting plate being fixedly connected to the base, a plurality of connecting rods fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, the plurality of connecting rods being threadedly connected to the connecting plate, a circular column fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod, and a circular groove opened on the rotating shaft corresponding to the position of the circular column, which solves the problem of wear and damage to the display screen during rotation."

[0004] However, the above method still has the following drawbacks: the display screen can be rotated by the rotating shaft, avoiding wear and damage to the base, but the position of the plug and the limiting hole must be matched to limit it. It is difficult to steplessly adjust its rotation angle. Moreover, the position of the rotating structure does not change during the rotation process, and eccentricity is easy to occur during the adjustment process, which will reduce the stability of the display screen and cause it to tip over.

When the support column 3 rotates, the roller 503 can rotate, which can reduce its rotational resistance.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the adjustment component 6 includes a support 601, a damping shaft 602, and a support plate 603. The bottom end of the support 601 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support column 3. The support plate 603 is hinged to the support 601 through the damping shaft 602.
