Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitor stand technology, and in particular to a foldable monitor stand. Background Technology
[0002] Monitors need to be supported by a stand to meet the needs of users. Common stands include integrated stands that support the monitor directly on the back and support arms that connect the monitor and the mounting surface via connectors.
[0003] These two connection methods have different application scenarios. The integrated stand can stably hold the monitor at a specific angle for a long time and is suitable for scenarios where it is used for long-term fixed use. The arm itself can be adjusted within a certain range in both horizontal and vertical directions, so it is widely used in scenarios where the monitor display angle needs to be adjusted frequently.
[0004] However, in special usage scenarios, such as when multiple monitors are used together or when multiple monitors are used together to operate the device, users have more requirements for the placement of the monitors. If an integrated stand is used, it will be more inconvenient to adjust the position of the monitors, while using a support arm may cause the monitors to block each other. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable monitor stand, which solves the problem that monitors cannot meet the diverse usage needs of users.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: it includes a support arm and a display. The display is connected to the first support plate by bolts, and the support arm is connected to the second support plate by a connector. The tops of the first support plate and the second support plate are connected by hinges. The opposing sides of the first support plate and the second support plate are provided with corresponding rivets and holes. The surface of the first support plate is provided with a downward-opening first receiving groove, and a second-stage support plate is rotatably connected inside the first receiving groove. The second-stage support plate is provided with a groove plate. The surface of the second support plate has a downward-opening second receiving groove, and the surface of the second support plate has symmetrically opened sliding grooves for connecting the support arm along the second receiving groove. The inner side wall of the second receiving groove has a slot, and the second support plate has a stop plate through the slot.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the side wall of the first receiving groove is symmetrically provided with strip-shaped recesses, and the two sides of the second-stage support plate are provided with rotating rods extending into the strip-shaped recesses. The length of the strip-shaped recess is equal to one-fifth of the height of the first receiving groove. When the rotating rod slides in the strip-shaped recess, the one-fifth height ratio of the recess forms a precise mechanical limit to prevent the second-stage support plate from rotating excessively and causing structural instability.
[0008] Furthermore, the slot plate is composed of a main plate and a sub-plate. Rotating rods are provided on both sides of the main plate and connected to the second-stage support plate. The sub-plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the main plate. Grooves are evenly spaced on the same side surface of the main plate and the sub-plate. The split design allows the length of the slot plate to be dynamically adjusted. The sliding sub-plate compensates for the spacing error of different unfolding angles, ensuring that the grooves are always aligned.
[0009] Furthermore, after the second-stage support plate rotates 180 degrees along the first receiving groove along the rotating rod, it can move upward along the strip-shaped recess. After moving, one side of the second-stage support plate is restricted by the display and cannot continue to rotate. After the second-stage support plate leaves the first receiving groove, the internal groove plate can be rotated out into a parallel state and unfolded. The unfolded groove plate, the second-stage support plate, and the first support plate form an L-shaped structure. The compound motion of "rotation + translation + limiting" realizes zero-tool unfolding.
[0010] Furthermore, there are four slots in total, arranged in pairs, and respectively set on the upper and lower side walls of the second receiving slot. The bottom of the inner side of the slot in the upper section has a downward extending part, and the top of the inner side of the slot in the lower section has an upward extending part. The opposite extension directions of the upper and lower slots constitute a "two-way anti-locking". The abutment plate will not come out outward due to the physical obstruction of the extension part in any slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the abutment has protruding limiting ear-like structures on both sides. The length of the limiting ear is adapted to the slot. When the limiting ear of the abutment is in the upper slot, it sinks into the extension part, so that the abutment is restricted by the slot through the limiting ear and cannot be detached outward. When the limiting ear of the abutment is in the lower slot and is pushed, it moves upward into the extension part of the slot, so that the abutment is also restricted by the slot through the limiting ear. The geometric matching of the limiting ear and the extension part forms a "one-way passage" mechanism. The abutment can only switch slots when pushed and cannot detach freely.
[0012] Furthermore, the connector at the end of the support arm is adapted to the slide groove and connected to the second support plate. The slide groove includes two vertically parallel main body connecting grooves and a blocking groove disposed at the bottom of the second support plate, passing through the abutment plate and the connecting groove from one side to the other. The blocking groove makes the bottom of the abutment plate form an insert that fits the groove on the surface of the slide plate.
[0013] Furthermore, when the abutment is located in the lower section slot, the lower section extends out a second support plate and is restricted to form an extended plate-like structure. The insert at the bottom of the abutment faces the slot plate in the L-shaped structure formed after the first support plate unfolds. The bottom of the abutment can be inserted into the groove on the surface of the slot plate and combined with the first support plate to form a triangular support structure. The triangular structure decomposes the weight of the display into axial pressure and tangential force.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention achieves two working modes by switching the position of the abutment plate within the slot: Outrigger mode: The support plate is stored in the upper slot, and the outrigger is connected to the second support plate through a sliding groove, providing multi-directional adjustment function; Independent mode: The bottom plate extends out of the lower section of the slot, and its bottom insert engages with the groove of the slot plate to form a triangular support structure, allowing it to be used independently without the support arm.
[0015] It meets the differentiated needs of fixed workstations and mobile scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a foldable monitor stand includes a support arm 1 and a monitor 2. The monitor 2 is connected to a first support plate 3 by bolts, and the support arm 1 is connected to a second support plate 4 by a connector. The tops of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 are connected by hinges. The first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 are provided with corresponding rivets and holes on opposite sides. The surface of the first support plate 3 has a downward-opening first receiving groove 301. The second-stage support plate 302 is rotatably connected inside the first receiving groove 301. The bottom of the side wall of the first receiving groove 301 is symmetrically provided with strip-shaped recesses. Rotating rods extending into the strip-shaped recesses are provided on both sides of the second-stage support plate 302. The length of the strip-shaped recess is equal to one-fifth of the height of the first receiving groove 301. When the rotating rod slides in the strip-shaped recess, the one-fifth height ratio of the recess forms a precise mechanical limit to prevent the second-stage support plate (302) from rotating excessively and causing structural instability. The second-stage support plate 302 is provided with a slotted plate 303, which is composed of a main plate and a sub-plate. Rotating rods are provided on both sides of the main plate and connected to the second-stage support plate 302. The sub-plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the main plate. The same side surface of the main plate and the sub-plate is evenly spaced with grooves. The split design allows the length of the slotted plate (303) to be dynamically adjusted. The sliding sub-plate compensates for the spacing error of different unfolding angles, ensuring that the grooves are always aligned. After the second-stage support plate 302 rotates 180 degrees along the first receiving groove 301 along the rotating rod, it can move upward along the strip-shaped recess. After moving, one side of the second-stage support plate 302 is restricted by the display 2 and cannot continue to rotate. After the second-stage support plate 302 leaves the first receiving groove 301, the internal slotted plate 303 can be rotated out into a parallel state and unfolded. The unfolded slotted plate 303, the second-stage support plate 302 and the first support plate 3 form an L-shaped structure. The composite motion of rotation + translation + limiting realizes zero-tool unfolding. The surface of the second support plate 4 is provided with a downward-opening second receiving groove 401. The surface of the second support plate 4 is symmetrically provided with a sliding groove 402 for connecting the support arm 1 along the second receiving groove 401. The inner side wall of the second receiving groove 401 is provided with a slot 403. There are four slots 403 in total, arranged in pairs, and respectively set on the upper and lower side walls of the second receiving groove 401. The bottom of the inner side of the slot 403 in the upper section is provided with a downward-extending part, and the top of the inner side of the slot 403 in the lower section is provided with an upward-extending part. The opposite extension directions of the upper and lower slots 403 constitute a "two-way anti-locking". The abutment plate (404) will not come out outward due to the physical blockage of the extension part in any slot 403. The second support plate 4 is provided with a stop plate 404 through the slot 403. The stop plate 404 has protruding limiting ear-like structures on both sides. The length of the limiting ears is adapted to the slot 403. When the limiting ears of the stop plate 404 are in the upper slot 403, they sink into the extension part, so that the stop plate 404 is restricted by the slot 403 and cannot be dislodged outwards. When the limiting ears of the stop plate 404 are in the lower slot 403 and are pushed, they move upwards into the extension part of the slot 403, so that the stop plate 404 is restricted by the slot 403. The geometric matching of the limiting ears and the extension part forms a "one-way passage" mechanism. The stop plate (404) can only switch the slot 403 when pushed and cannot be freely dislodged. The connector at the end of the support arm 1 and the slide 4 02 Adapts to and connects the second support plate 4. The slide groove 402 includes two vertically parallel main body connecting grooves and a blocking groove set at the bottom of the second support plate 4, passing through the abutment plate 404 and the connecting groove from one side to the other. The blocking groove makes the bottom of the abutment plate 404 form an insert that fits the groove on the surface of the slot plate 303. When the abutment plate 404 is located in the lower section slot 403, the lower section extends out of the second support plate 4 and is restricted to form an extended plate-like structure. The insert at the bottom of the abutment plate 404 unfolds towards the slot plate 303 in the L-shaped structure formed by the slot plate 303. The bottom of the abutment plate 404 can be inserted into the groove on the surface of the slot plate 303 and combined with the first support plate 3 to form a triangular support structure. The triangular structure decomposes the weight of the display 2 into axial pressure and tangential force.
[0020] Working principle of this utility model: First, the monitor 2 is connected to the support arm 1 through the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4. At this time, the position of the monitor 2 can be adjusted through the support arm 1. When it is necessary to adjust the support state of the monitor 2, the monitor 2 can be lifted up so that the support arm 1 is disconnected from the monitor 2 through the slide groove 402. At this point, the second support plate 4 can rotate along the hinge away from the first support plate 3, exposing the second-stage support plate 302 inside the first support plate 3. The operator can then manipulate the second-stage support plate 302 along the rotating rod. During this rotation, the operator pushes the second-stage support plate 302 upwards until it rotates 180 degrees and is then restricted from further rotation by the display 2. The operator can then unscrew the slotted plate 303 from the second-stage support plate 302, and subsequently remove the abutment plate 404 located inside the second support plate 4 along the slot 403. And move downward along the lower section of the slot 403 and snap back. Then, the connecting plate 404 rotates the second support plate 4 synchronously along the hinge. During the rotation, the end of the support plate 404 aligns with the groove on the surface of the slot plate 303 and is inserted. At this time, the L-shaped structure formed by the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 combine to form a triangular structure, and the display 2 is located on the surface of the first support plate 3, thus completing the support of the display 2. When it is necessary to adjust the display angle of the display 2, it is only necessary to change the position of the groove into which the support plate 404 is inserted on the surface of the slot plate 303. When it is necessary to restore the connection between the monitor 2 and the support arm 1, the above operation can be reversed to retract the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4. The operator only needs to restore the connection from top to bottom through the slide groove 402.
[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
