Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Apple display accessories technology, and more specifically, to a self-locking VESA converter specifically for Apple displays. Background Technology

[0002] A monitor is a display tool that displays certain electronic documents on a screen through a specific transmission device and then reflects them to the human eye. In daily office life, Apple Studio Display and the new iMac are frequently used office tools, but they take up a lot of space, which makes desktop space very limited. Apple's dedicated self-locking VESA converter can solve this problem.

[0003] Currently, Apple monitors and all-in-one computers on the market, categorized by 2021 timeline, fall into two types: older and newer. The older iMac and monitor's desktop support base has a distinctive feature: the base is trapezoidal when placed on the desktop, and the part connecting the monitor to the desktop is also trapezoidal, with a circular hole in the center of this trapezoidal part. The iMac and Studio Display from 2021 onwards are referred to as the newer models. These products have many users who require monitor arms for office convenience, but due to product structure limitations, existing monitor arms cannot be used. This invention addresses the issue of connecting Apple monitors and monitor arms by designing a dedicated self-locking VESA converter for Apple monitors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-locking VESA converter specifically for Apple displays to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] Combining the structural features of the iMac and Studio Display stand—a rectangular base with semicircular top and bottom edges and a rectangular opening in the middle—we designed a self-locking VESA converter specifically for Apple displays. This converter includes a base and two symmetrically arranged latching blocks. The front side of the base has a U-shaped groove, within which a limiting protrusion is fixed. Two symmetrically arranged limiting slots are also present on the base. The latching blocks are rotatably mounted on the base via a rotating end, one end of which extends into the limiting slot.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating end includes a rotating shaft and a limiting block. One end of the rotating shaft rotatably passes through the front side of the conversion base and extends into the limiting slot. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the rotating shaft. The thickness of the limiting block is adapted to the thickness of the inner cavity of the limiting slot. The limiting block rotatably contacts the inner wall of the limiting slot. The snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the conversion base and the limiting protrusion are integrally formed.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front side of the limiting protrusion is provided with a rounded corner surface, and the front side of the limiting protrusion is provided with an oblique angle surface below the rounded corner surface.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the back side of the conversion base is provided with a plurality of positioning screw grooves spaced apart, and the depth of the positioning screw grooves is 5mm-6mm.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of positioning screw grooves is four, the four positioning screw grooves are arranged in a rectangular distribution, and the distance between adjacent positioning screw grooves is 75mm.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention uses a U-shaped groove on the conversion base to fit over the Apple display stand, thus limiting the left and right movement of the Apple display stand. The rotating end of the latching block is placed in the limiting slot. The limiting slot blocks block the limiting blocks, allowing them to rotate only inwards from the conversion base. When the latching blocks are parallel to the left and right limiting positions of the conversion base, they are unlocked; when they are perpendicular to the left and right limiting positions of the conversion base, they are locked. These two latching blocks prevent the VESA converter from detaching from the Apple display stand. Simultaneously, the limiting protrusion engages with the Apple display stand... The upper part of the slot on the stand prevents the VESA converter from sliding upwards. When not connected to the monitor arm, the VESA converter can slide up and down on the slot of the Apple monitor arm. After the monitor arm is installed, the arm provides an upward force, and the monitor's own weight generates a downward force, allowing the Apple monitor arm to be stably hung on the limiting protrusion. This facilitates quick and easy installation and docking between the VESA converter and the Apple monitor arm, making the installation process simpler and improving the ease of use of the VESA converter.

[0023] 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 of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a self-locking VESA converter for Apple displays, including a conversion base 1 and two symmetrically distributed snap-fit ​​blocks 2. The front side of the conversion base 1 has a U-shaped groove 101, which can be fitted onto the Apple display stand 5, so that the Apple display stand 5 is limited to the left and right. A limiting protrusion 102 is fixedly provided on the conversion base 1 within the U-shaped groove 101. The limiting protrusion 102 is inserted into the upper part of the opening 501 on the Apple display stand 5, and the Apple display stand 5 is hung on the limiting protrusion 102 by gravity. Two limiting slots 3 are symmetrically provided on the conversion base 1. The snap-fit ​​blocks 2 are rotatably mounted on the conversion base 1 through a rotating end 4. One end of the rotating end 4 extends into the limiting slot 3, so that the snap-fit ​​blocks 2 can rotate outside the conversion base 1.

[0025] Among them, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating end 4 includes a rotating shaft 401 and a limiting block 402. One end of the rotating shaft 401 rotatably passes through the front side of the conversion base 1 and extends into the limiting slot 3. The limiting block 402 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the rotating shaft 401. The thickness of the limiting block 402 is adapted to the thickness of the inner cavity of the limiting slot 3. The limiting block 402 rotatably contacts the inner wall of the limiting slot 3. The snap-fit ​​block 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 401 and limits the rotation through the limiting slot 3. The blocking effect of block 402 allows the latching block 2 to rotate only to a horizontal state. That is, when the latching block 2 and the left and right limiting space position of the conversion base 1 are perpendicular, the latching block 2 and the conversion base 1 can respectively limit the front and rear of the Apple display bracket 5, and the VESA converter is in a self-locking state. At this time, the Apple display bracket 5 can be locked. When the latching block 2 is rotated to a state parallel to the left and right limiting space position of the conversion base 1, the VESA converter is in an unlocked state.

[0026] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the conversion base 1 and the limiting protrusion 102 are integrally formed, ensuring the overall structural strength of the conversion base 1 and the limiting protrusion 102.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front side of the limiting protrusion 102 is provided with a rounded corner surface 103, and the front side of the limiting protrusion 102 is provided with a beveled surface 104 below the rounded corner surface 103, which achieves the purpose of preventing the limiting protrusion 102 from having sharp edges that could easily damage the Apple display stand 5.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 5As shown, the back side of the conversion base 1 is provided with several positioning screw grooves 105 spaced apart, and the depth of the positioning screw grooves 105 is 5mm-6mm. There are four positioning screw grooves 105, which are arranged in a rectangular distribution. The spacing between adjacent positioning screw grooves 105 is 75mm. This spacing is the universal interface standard for connecting the monitor bracket and the monitor, which facilitates the stable installation of the conversion base 1 on the compatible monitor pneumatic bracket arm.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model:

[0030] During the use of this VESA converter, the U-shaped groove 101 on the converter base 1 is fitted onto the Apple display stand 5, thereby limiting the left and right positions of the Apple display stand 5. The rotating end 4 of the latching block 2 is placed into the limiting slot 3. Through the blocking effect of the limiting slot 3 on the limiting block 402, the two latching blocks 2 can only rotate inwards from the converter base 1. When they are parallel to the left and right limiting positions of the converter base 1, they are unlocked; when they are perpendicular to the left and right limiting positions of the converter base 1, they are locked. These two latch blocks 2 serve to prevent the VESA converter from detaching from the Apple display stand 5. At the same time, the limiting protrusion 102 is inserted into the upper part of the opening 501 on the Apple display stand 5 to prevent the VESA converter from sliding upward. When not connected to the display stand arm, the VESA converter can slide up and down in the opening 501 of the Apple display stand 5. After the display stand arm is installed, the stand arm provides an upward force, and the weight of the display itself generates a downward force, so that the Apple display stand 5 is stably hung on the limiting protrusion 102.
