The right outer shell parts 4 are pivotally connected to the other side of the fixing module 1. The right inner shell parts 5 are slidably disposed within the right outer shell parts 4 and pivotally connected to the other side of the support module 6. The structure of each component and their connection relationship will be described in detail below. The display 2000 defines a screen normal 2001, and the working surface 3000 defines a center normal 3001.

[0056] The fixed module 1 includes two fixed main plates 11, a left connecting plate 12, a right connecting plate 13, four left outer pivot parts 14, four right outer pivot parts 15, and four outer shafts 16. The fixed main plates 11 are generally elongated plates, fixedly attached to the working surface 3000 at intervals.

[0058] Each of the left inner shell components 3 includes a left inner main plate 31, a left inner pivot portion 32, two left wing plates 33, a left limiting through groove 34, and two left sliders 35. The left inner main plate 31 is generally rectangular. The left inner pivot portion 32 extends outward from the right end of the left inner main plate 31 and is bent to form a C-shaped cross-section. The left wing plates 33 extend outward from the opposite upper and lower sides of the left inner main plate 31, thereby forming a general T-shape with the left inner main plate 31, the left inner pivot portion 32, and the left wing plates 33. The left limiting through groove 34 is formed through the left inner main plate 31 and is located between the left wing plates 33, and has an opposite left head end 341 and a left tail end 342. The left sliders 35 are respectively sleeved on the left wing plates 33 and respectively slidably disposed on the left track portion 23. The left stop post 24 is slidably disposed in the left limiting groove 34. In this way, the left inner shell 3 can move left and right relative to the left outer shell 2 without separating from each other, and a left overlapping area A1 can be defined between the left outer shell 2 and the left inner shell 3. In this embodiment, the left sliders 35 are made of polyoxymethylene (POM) material.

[0059] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each of the right outer casing components 4 includes a right outer main plate 41, a right outer pivot portion 42, two right track portions 43, and a right stop post 44. The right outer main plate 41 is generally rectangular. The right outer pivot portion 42 extends outward from the right end of the right outer main plate 41 and is bent to form a C-shaped cross section, and is located between any two of the right outer pivot portions 15. The right track portions 43 extend outward from the opposite upper and lower sides of the right outer main plate 41 and are bent to form a U-shaped cross section, and the right track portions 43 correspond to each other. The right stop post 44 (e.g., a screw) protrudes from the right outer main plate 41 and is located between the right track portions 43.

[0060] Each of the right inner shell components 5 includes a right inner main plate 51, a right inner pivot portion 52, two right wing plates 53, a right limiting through groove 54, and two right sliders 55. The right inner main plate 51 is generally rectangular. The right inner pivot portion 52 extends outward from the left end of the right inner main plate 51 and is bent to form a C-shaped cross-section. The right wing plates 53 extend outward from the opposite upper and lower sides of the right inner main plate 51, thereby forming a general T-shape with the right inner main plate 51, the right inner pivot portion 52, and the right wing plates 53. The right limiting through groove 54 is formed through the right inner main plate 51 and is located between the right wing plates 53, and has an opposing right head end 541 and a right tail end 542. The right sliders 55 are respectively sleeved on the right wing plates 53 and respectively slidably disposed on the right track portions 43. The right stop post 44 is slidably disposed on the right limiting through groove 54. This allows the right inner shell 5 to move left and right relative to the right outer shell 4 without separating from each other, and a right overlapping area A2 can be defined between the right outer shell 4 and the right inner shell 5. In this embodiment, the right sliders 55 are made of polyoxymethylene (POM) material.

[0061] The support module 6 supports the display 2000 and includes a central main board 61, two support plates 62, four left inner pivot portions 63, four right inner pivot portions 64, and four inner shafts 65. The central main board 61 is generally rectangular. The support plates 62 are generally elongated plates and are respectively disposed on opposite upper and lower sides of the central main board 61, thereby forming an H shape. Each support plate 62 has two recesses 621 (see...). Figure 6 The monitor 2000 can be screwed to the back of the monitor 2000 so that the monitor 2000 can be mounted on the support module 6 by means of the screw snapping into the recess 621. A safety screw can also be inserted through the central motherboard 61 and locked to the back of the monitor 2000 to prevent the monitor 2000 from falling off.

[0062] The left inner pivot portions 63 extend outward from the left side of the central main board 61 at intervals and are bent to form a C-shaped cross section, and the center of the C-shaped cross section of the left inner pivot portion 63 can define a left inner axis X2. The left inner pivot portion 32 of each of the left inner shell members 3 is located between any two of the left inner pivot portions 63. The right inner pivot portions 64 extend outward from the right side of the central main board 61 at intervals and are bent to form a C-shaped cross section, and the center of the C-shaped cross section of the right inner pivot portion 64 can define a right inner axis Y2. The right inner pivot portion 52 of each of the right inner shell members 5 is located between any two of the right inner pivot portions 64.

[0063] Two of the outer shafts 16 are respectively inserted along the left outer axis X1 into the left outer pivot portion 14 and the left outer pivot portion 22, allowing the left outer shell 2 to pivotally connect to the left outer pivot portion 14. This enables the left outer shell 2 to pivot relative to the left connecting plate 12 about the left outer axis X1. The other two outer shafts 16 are respectively inserted along the right outer axis Y1 into the right outer pivot portion 15 and the right outer pivot portion 42, allowing the right outer shell 4 to pivotally connect to the right outer pivot portion 15. This enables the right outer shell 4 to pivot relative to the right connecting plate 13 about the right outer axis Y1. Two of the inner shafts 65 are respectively inserted along the left inner axis X2 into the left inner pivot portion 63 and the left inner pivot portion 32, allowing the left inner shell 3 to pivotally connect to the left inner pivot portion 63. This enables the left inner shell 3 to pivot relative to the central main plate 61 about the left inner axis X2. The other two inner shaft rods 65 are respectively inserted along the right inner axis Y2 into the right inner pivot portion 64 and the right inner pivot connection portion 52, so that the right inner shell 5 can be pivotally connected to the right inner pivot portion 64, thereby allowing the right inner shell 5 to pivot relative to the central main board 61 around the right inner axis Y2. In this embodiment, the outer shaft rod 16 and the inner shaft rod 65 are both screw rods, which can be fixed with nuts and washers, and will not be described in detail further.

[0064] The above embodiment is illustrated using two sets each of the left outer shell 2, the left inner shell 3, the right outer shell 4, and the right inner shell 5, and four sets each of the left outer pivot portion 14, the right outer pivot portion 15, the left inner pivot portion 63, and the right inner pivot portion 64 as examples. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The number of the left outer shell 2, the left inner shell 3, the right outer shell 4, and the right inner shell 5 can be designed according to requirements, and the number of the left outer pivot portion 14, the right outer pivot portion 15, the left inner pivot portion 63, and the right inner pivot portion 64 can also be adjusted accordingly.

[0065] In one embodiment, the fixed main board 11, the left connecting plate 12, the right connecting plate 13, the central main board 61, the support plate 62, the left outer shell 2, the left inner shell 3, the right outer shell 4, and the right inner shell 5 are made of metal (e.g., iron).

[0066] The following describes the operation of the support device 1000 of this utility model. When the screen normal 2001 is parallel to or overlaps with the center normal 3001, the supporting module 6 can move back and forth along the center normal 3001 of the working surface 3000 to a retracted state. Figure 5 ) and an unfolded state ( Figure 6 and Figure 7 The load-bearing module 6 is in the retracted state, and is closest to the fixed module 1. The load-bearing plates 62 are respectively attached to the fixed main board 11. The central main board 61 is located at the center of the fixed main board 11, the left connecting plate 12 and the right connecting plate 13. The central main board 61, the left outer shell 2, the left inner shell 3, the right outer shell 4 and the right inner shell 5 are roughly flush with the fixed main board 11, the left connecting plate 12 and the right connecting plate 13. At this time, the left stop post 24 abuts against the left end 341 of the left limiting through groove 34, and the right stop post 44 abuts against the right end 541 of the right limiting through groove 54. The left inner shell 3 is completely housed in the left outer shell 2, so that the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 is maximized. The right inner shell 5 is completely housed in the right outer shell 4, so that the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 is maximized.

[0067] When the carrying module 6 changes from the stored state to the unfolded state, the carrying module 6 moves along the center normal 3001 of the working surface 3000 and gradually moves away from the fixed module 1. The left outer shell 2 can pivot relative to the left connecting plate 12 about the left outer axis X1, and the left inner shell 3 can pivot relative to the central main board 61 about the left inner axis X2, so that the left outer shell 2 and the left inner shell 3 move relative to each other. The left inner shell 3 gradually extends out of the left outer shell 2, and the area of ​​the left overlapping area A1 gradually decreases until the left stop post 24 abuts against the left tail end 342 of the left limiting through groove 34. Similarly, the right outer shell 4 can pivot relative to the right connecting plate 13 about the right outer axis Y1, and the right inner shell 5 can pivot relative to the central main plate 61 about the right inner axis Y2, causing relative movement between the right outer shell 4 and the right inner shell 5. The right inner shell 5 gradually extends out of the right outer shell 4, and the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 gradually decreases until the right stop post 44 abuts against the right tail end 542 of the right limiting through groove 54. When the left stop post 24 and the right stop post 44 abut against the left tail end 342 and the right tail end 542 respectively, the bearing module 6 is in the unfolded state. At this time, the bearing module 6 is furthest from the fixed module 1, the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 is the smallest, and the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 is the smallest.

[0068] To change the carrying module 6 from the unfolded state to the retracted state, simply move the carrying module 6 along the center normal 3001 of the working surface 3000 towards the fixed module 1, causing the left inner shell 3 to gradually retract into the left outer shell 2, and the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 to gradually increase until the left stop post 24 abuts against the left end 341 of the left limiting through groove 34. Simultaneously, the right inner shell 5 is gradually retracted into the right outer shell 4, and the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 to gradually increase until the right stop post 44 abuts against the right end 541 of the right limiting through groove 54. Furthermore, in the above process in this embodiment (i.e., the screen normal 2001 is always parallel to or overlaps the center normal 3001), the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 and the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 remain the same, but this is not a limitation.

[0069] When the support module 6 is in the deployed state, the support device 1000 forms a three-bar linkage, allowing the user to further rotate the display 2000 horizontally. For example, Figure 8As shown, when the right stop post 44 is fixed in the position abutting the right tail end 542, the display 2000 can be rotated to the left, and the left stop post 24 moves towards the left head end 341 and away from the left tail end 342. The left inner shell 3 partially retracts into the left outer shell 2, and the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 gradually increases, while the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 remains unchanged. That is, the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 is greater than the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2. At this time, the screen normal 2001 of the display 2000 and the center normal 3001 of the working surface 3000 form an angle θ1. The display 2000 is relatively close to the left outer pivot 14 and away from the right outer pivot 15. The size of the angle θ1 is determined by the difference between the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 and the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2. The greater the difference in area, the larger the angle θ1. Similarly, as Figure 9 As shown, when the left stop post 24 is fixed at the position abutting the left tail end 342, the display 2000 can be rotated to the right, and the right stop post 44 moves towards the right head end 541 and away from the right tail end 542. The right inner shell 5 partially retracts into the right outer shell 4, and the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2 gradually increases, while the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 remains unchanged. That is, the area of ​​the left overlapping region A1 is smaller than the area of ​​the right overlapping region A2. At this time, the screen normal 2001 of the display 2000 and the center normal 3001 of the working surface 3000 form an angle θ2. The display 2000 is relatively far away from the left outer pivot 14 and close to the right outer pivot 15. Similarly, the size of the angle θ2 is determined by the difference between the areas of the left overlapping region A1 and the right overlapping region A2.

[0070] In summary, by integrating the fixed main board, left connecting plate, right connecting plate, central main board, bearing plate, left outer shell, left inner shell, right outer shell, and right inner shell into a single plate, the thickness of the support device can be effectively reduced, and the display can be placed close to the wall.
