Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display assembly technology, specifically to a foolproof installation structure and a display base. Background Technology

[0002] In the monitor industry, especially within the same product line, monitor stand components such as chassis and columns of different models often appear highly similar, making them difficult to distinguish visually. This similarity easily leads to mismatches and mixed installations of different models during production assembly, logistics, or after-sales maintenance. This not only reduces production efficiency and increases rework costs but may also affect the functional compatibility and user experience of the final product. Existing solutions rely on visual marking labels, color blocks, or simple unidirectional positioning pins, which offer limited foolproof protection, weak differentiation capabilities, and are prone to wear, detachment, or being ignored. Furthermore, unidirectional positioning designs are insufficient to meet the need to differentiate between multiple models within the same series, lacking scalability and flexibility. Therefore, a foolproof installation structure that is simple in structure, has controllable manufacturing costs, can efficiently differentiate between multiple models, and is widely applicable is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] One of the purposes of this utility model is to provide a foolproof installation structure that solves the problems of weak differentiation ability of existing foolproof structures and inability to be extended to multiple series and models.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A foolproof installation structure includes a base, a foolproof component, and a column base. The base includes a base plate and a protruding post, the protruding post being disposed on the base plate. The foolproof component is connected to the protruding post, and the column base is sleeved on the foolproof component. The foolproof component includes a first housing, a mating hole, and a first alignment groove. The mating hole is disposed on the first housing, and the first alignment groove is configured to penetrate one end of the first housing. The protruding post is inserted into the mating hole, and a protrusion is provided on one side wall of the protruding post, which is inserted into the first alignment groove. This enables quick insertion and assembly of the column base and the base. By replacing the foolproof component, different column bases can be matched for use. This structure provides complete physical foolproofing to distinguish between different specifications and categories of monitor columns, fundamentally preventing mismatch during assembly and reducing the rework rate.

[0006] Furthermore, the cross-section of the first housing is polygonal, and at least one first alignment groove forms an opening on one end face of the first housing. The protrusion is inserted into the first alignment groove through the opening and connected by the polygonal first housing to prevent rotation around the protrusion.

[0007] Furthermore, the anti-misalignment component also includes a second alignment groove, which is configured to penetrate one end of the first housing. The second alignment groove works in conjunction with the first alignment groove for positioning and differentiation, which can increase the number of distinguishable components and improve the stability of the connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the column base includes a second housing, a socket hole, and a third alignment groove. The socket hole is disposed inside the second housing, and the third alignment groove is configured to penetrate one end of the column base. The protrusion is inserted into the third alignment groove for positioning the column base.

[0009] Preferably, the column base further includes a retaining edge and a column connecting hole. The retaining edge is disposed on one end of the second housing and extends outward, and the column connecting hole is disposed on the retaining edge for connecting a column.

[0010] Preferably, the anti-misfit component further includes multiple ribs, which are respectively disposed on the outer wall of the first housing along the height direction of the first housing. The ribs contact the inner wall of the column base, thereby improving the degree of insertion, increasing assembly efficiency, and preventing assembly difficulties caused by deformation of the column base.

[0011] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the bottom wall of the first housing, and a groove is provided at the top of the protrusion. The protrusion falls into the groove and, together with the first alignment groove and the protrusion, achieves accurate positioning.

[0012] Preferably, the column base is provided with a screw post, the anti-fooling component is provided with a through hole, and the column is provided with a countersunk hole. Fasteners pass through the countersunk hole and the through hole and are connected to the screw post for quick-release installation of the column.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the anti-mistake component is provided with a fixing hole, and a fastener passes through the fixing hole and is connected to the protrusion for fixing the anti-mistake component.

[0014] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a monitor stand that solves the problem of easy mixing of different monitor stands in the same series.

[0015] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0016] A monitor stand, including the aforementioned foolproof mounting structure, can structurally distinguish the column base and the base of different specifications and types to prevent misfitting during assembly.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] (1) The foolproof installation structure consists of a protruding post on the chassis connected to the foolproof part and the column seat. By changing the number and direction of the first and second alignment slots on the foolproof part, as well as their combination, the protrusion on the protruding post can cooperate with the third alignment slot set on the first and second alignment slots of the foolproof part and the column seat, thus realizing physical limit foolproofing. Different models of bases can be distinguished by changing the relative position of the protrusions or the opening direction and number of alignment slots, forming an insertable and mutually exclusive fit relationship. This effectively distinguishes multiple models in the same series that are highly similar in appearance but have different internal structural requirements, fundamentally avoiding mixed assembly errors in the production, assembly and maintenance process, and significantly improving assembly accuracy and efficiency.

[0019] (2) The foolproof mounting structure integrates the protrusions and alignment grooves directly into the base and the foolproof component. Only the foolproof component needs to be replaced to distinguish and prevent the mistakes of various product specifications. There is no need to rely on additional complex identification parts or electronic components. The simplicity of the overall structure reduces the cost of mold development and manufacturing. The first housing of the foolproof component is set with a polygonal cross section. By increasing the number of sides, the number of distinguishable display mounting structures can be expanded. The first housing is also provided with ribs for guidance during insertion. The protrusions on the first housing and the top of the protrusions are provided with grooves to play a positioning and foolproof role. By combination, the types of distinguishable mounting structures can be expanded. The foolproof mounting structure has strong scalability. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this embodiment discloses a foolproof installation structure, including a base 3, a foolproof component 2, and a column base 1. The base 3 includes a base plate 31 and a protruding post 32. The protruding post 32 is disposed on the base plate 31, the foolproof component 2 is connected to the protruding post 32, and the column base 1 is sleeved on the foolproof component 2. The foolproof component 2 includes a first housing 21, a mating hole 22, and a first alignment groove 23. The mating hole 22 is disposed on the first housing 21, and the first alignment groove 23 is configured to penetrate one end of the first housing 21. The protruding post 32 is inserted into the first housing 21. In the mating hole 22, a protrusion 36 is provided on one side wall of the protruding post 32. The protrusion 36 is inserted into the first alignment groove 23 to fix the relative position of the base 3 and the column seat 1. By changing the position of the first alignment groove 23 on the anti-misfit part 2, the base 3 can be matched with column seats 1 of different specifications and types. Moreover, if each column seat 1 is mismatched, it cannot be inserted, which fundamentally prevents assembly errors and reduces the rework rate. Among them, the anti-misfit part 2 has low manufacturing cost, which reduces the overall manufacturing cost.

[0034] Furthermore, the cross-section of the first housing 21 is set as a polygon to prevent relative rotation, and at least one first alignment groove 23 forms an opening on one end face of the first housing 21. The protrusion 36 is inserted into the first alignment groove 23 through the opening for positioning and distinguishing the use of different specifications of column base 1.

[0035] Preferably, the cross-section of the first housing 21 is set as an octagon, and the corners of the octagon are transitioned by arcs instead of straight lines. The octagon is used to restrict the rotation of the anti-misalignment component 2 relative to the protrusion 32 after assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, the anti-misalignment component 2 also includes a second alignment groove 24, which is configured to penetrate one end of the first housing 21. The second alignment groove 24 has the same structure as the first alignment groove 23 but is located differently. By changing the number and position of the second alignment groove 24, the function of distinguishing various sizes of display pillars can be achieved. Specifically, the second alignment groove 24 is located on the same side or adjacent to the first alignment groove 23.

[0037] Furthermore, the column base 1 includes a second housing 11, a socket hole 12, and a third alignment groove 13. The socket hole 12 is located inside the second housing 11 and is used for insertion and connection to the anti-misalignment component 2. The third alignment groove 13 is configured to penetrate one end of the column base 1. The protrusion 36 is inserted into the third alignment groove 13. The protrusion 36 cooperates with both the first alignment groove 23 and the third alignment groove 13 to prevent the column base 1 from being installed incorrectly. The first alignment groove 23 penetrates the side wall of the first housing 21 to form a channel through which the protrusion 36 passes.

[0038] Preferably, the column base 1 further includes a retaining edge 15 and a column connecting hole 14. The retaining edge 15 is disposed on one end of the second housing 11 and extends outward. The column connecting hole 14 is disposed on the retaining edge 15. The retaining edge 15 is used to directly contact the base 3 to form support. The retaining edge 15 is perpendicular to the direction of the first housing 21, which strengthens the edge strength of the first housing 21 and prevents cracking during insertion. The column connecting hole 14 is used for bolting the display column. Specifically, the third alignment groove 13 breaks through the retaining edge 15.

[0039] More preferably, the anti-mistake component 2 also includes a plurality of ribs 28, which are respectively disposed on the outer wall of the first housing 21 along the height direction of the first housing 21. The ribs 28 contact the inner wall of the column base 1 and play a guiding role to prevent the inner wall of the second housing 11 from being squeezed against the outer wall of the first housing 21. Specifically, at least two ribs 28 are provided on each surface of the first housing 21.

[0040] More preferably, a boss is provided at the connection between the protruding post 32 and the base plate 31, and a flange 25 is provided at the lower end of the first housing 21, the flange 25 contacting the boss.

[0041] Furthermore, a protrusion 27 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the first housing 21, and a groove 33 is provided at the top of the protrusion 32. The protrusion 27 falls into the groove 33. The protrusion 27 is close to one corner or one side of the top of the protrusion 32. The protrusion 27 and the groove 33 cooperate to position the anti-foolproof part 2 and the base 3, and assist the first alignment groove 23 and the protrusion 36 in distinguishing the display columns of different specifications, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. By changing the position of the groove 33 and the protrusion 27, the distinguishable display specifications can be greatly increased.

[0042] Furthermore, the column base 1 is provided with a screw post 16, the anti-fooling component 2 is provided with a through hole 26, and the protruding post 32 is provided with a countersunk hole 35. The fastener passes through the countersunk hole 35 and the through hole 26 and is connected to the screw post 16 to realize the quick-release connection between the column and the base 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the top of the anti-foolproof component 2 is provided with a fixing hole 29, and the fastener passes through the fixing hole 29 and connects to the protrusion 32, connecting the anti-foolproof component 2 and the protrusion 32 into one unit. Different specifications of monitor pillars can be distinguished by replacing different anti-foolproof components 2.

[0044] Preferably, a screw hole 34 is provided at the top of the protrusion 32 for fixing the anti-fooling component 2.

[0045] The assembly process of this foolproof structure is as follows:

[0046] After assembling the base 3, select the corresponding type of foolproof part 2, align the first alignment groove 23 and the docking hole 22 of the foolproof part 2 with the protrusion 36 and the protrusion 32 respectively, and insert it. After insertion, the bolt passes through the fixing hole 29 and connects to the screw hole 34. Take the column base 1, align the socket hole 12 on the second housing 11 with the first housing 21 and insert it. Then, the quick-release bolt 6 connects the base 3, the foolproof part 2 and the column base 1 into one unit.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] This embodiment also discloses a monitor base, including a foolproof mounting structure, a cover plate 4, a chassis 5, and a quick-release bolt 6. The base plate 31 is fixedly connected to the cavity formed by the combination of the cover plate 4 and the chassis 5. The protrusion 32 passes through the cover plate 4 and extends out of the cover plate 4. The quick-release bolt 6 passes through the protrusion 32 and the foolproof part 2 and is connected to the screw post 16 of the column base 1, fixing the base 3, the foolproof part 2, and the column base 1 into one unit.

[0049] Preferably, the display column is bolted to the column connection hole 14 of the column base 1. The column base 1 is pre-connected to the display column. Different models of column base 1 are all the same, which reduces the cost of mold manufacturing.

[0050] Preferably, the chassis 5 is made of metal material by stamping, which has high structural strength and wear resistance. The area of ​​the chassis 5 is larger than that of the base plate 31. The chassis 5 increases the contact area with the ground and improves the stability of the display.

[0051] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and any modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
