Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a stand and a display device. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a swivel mechanism for attaching a display unit to a stand so that it can swivel (pivot). The swivel mechanism has a hinge base attached to the stand attachment part, a hinge plate attached to the display unit attachment part, and a rotation shaft that rotatably supports the hinge plate relative to the hinge base. The swivel mechanism swivels the display unit relative to the stand by rotating the hinge plate around the rotation shaft relative to the hinge base.

[0003] Furthermore, the swivel mechanism described in Patent Document 1 has a first support ring and a second support ring between the hinge base and the hinge plate for switching between locking and unlocking the swivel operation. The opposing surfaces of the first support ring and the second support ring are provided with inclined surfaces that gradually increase in thickness along the circumferential direction.

[0004] When unlocking the swivel operation, the user adjusts the position of the second support ring around the rotation axis so that the thinner portions of the inclined surfaces on the opposing surfaces of the first support ring and the second support ring face each other. This creates a gap between the first support ring and the hinge plate, and the hinge plate enters an unlocked state in which it can rotate relative to the hinge base. When locking the swivel operation, the user adjusts the position of the second support ring around the rotation axis so that the thicker portions of the inclined surfaces on the opposing surfaces of the first support ring and the second support ring face each other. This brings the surface of the first support ring facing the hinge plate into contact with and presses against the hinge plate, and the hinge plate enters a locked state in which rotation is restricted.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-25222 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] According to the swivel mechanism of Patent Document 1, in the locked state, the first support ring restricts the rotation of the hinge plate by friction when the surface of the first support ring facing the hinge plate contacts and presses against the hinge plate. However, over many years of use, the opposing surfaces of the first support ring and the hinge plate wear down. When the opposing surfaces of the first support ring and the hinge plate wear down, a gap may form between the opposing inclined surfaces, weakening the ability of the first support ring to restrict the rotation of the hinge plate. The present disclosure aims to provide a stand and a display device that can more reliably restrict the rotation of the hinge plate than a structure that restricts the rotation of the hinge plate by friction.

[0008] The embodiments described below are merely examples of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments. Various modifications other than the embodiments are possible depending on the design, etc., as long as they do not deviate from the technical concept of the present disclosure.

[0009] [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is an enlarged perspective view of the vicinity of a stand 20 of a display device 1 according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the stand 20 according to an embodiment. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stand 20 according to an embodiment with a stand cover 21 removed. An outline of the display device 1 and the stand 20 according to an embodiment will be described using Figs. 1 to 3.

[0010] The display device 1 is, for example, any of various display devices capable of displaying images such as moving images, still images, etc. Examples of such various display devices include, but are not limited to, television receivers and monitors used in personal computers.

[0011] The display device 1 has a display unit 10 and a stand 20. The display unit 10 has a display panel and a housing that surrounds the back and sides of the display panel in a frame shape. Examples of the display panel include a liquid crystal panel, an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display panel, and a QLED (Quantum dot Light Emitting Diode) display panel, but the display panel is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of displaying images.

[0012] The stand 20 supports the display unit 10 so that it stands upright. The stand 20 is connected to the display unit 10 so that the display unit 10 can swivel (pivot). The stand 20 has a stand cover 21, a display unit mounting member 22, a rotation restriction screw 37, a base 41, a support 42, and a swivel mechanism 50.

[0013] The base 41 is a foundation that supports the display device 1 from below, and is, for example, plate-shaped. The support pillar 42 is erected on the base 41. One end of the support pillar 42, which is the base, is connected to the base 41, and the other end, which is the top, is connected to a swivel mechanism 50, which will be described in detail later. The top of the support pillar 42 is connected to the display unit mounting member 22 via the swivel mechanism 50. The base 41 and the support pillar 42 can each be formed using, for example, a metal material or a resin material.

[0014] The stand cover 21 is an upper portion of the stand 20, and is a member that is exposed to the outside and therefore visible to the user. The stand cover 21 covers the swivel mechanism 50 and the display unit mounting member 22, and is provided above the support column 42 via the swivel mechanism 50 and the display unit mounting member 22. The stand cover 21 is attached to the display unit mounting member 22 and the rear surface of the display unit 10 by, for example, screws. The stand cover 21 can be formed using, for example, a resin material or a metal material.

[0015] For example, the stand cover 21 has a shape including a cover portion 21a that covers the display unit mounting member 22 and an extension portion 21b that extends from the cover portion 21a. The extension portion 21b extends in a direction away from the display unit 10 so as to protrude outward beyond the support column 42. The extension portion 21b, which will be described in detail later, is a portion that covers a first extension region 29A2 (see FIG. 5) of the hinge base 29 and a second extension region 25A2 (see FIG. 6) of the hinge plate 25. An opening 21h for passing a rotation-restricting screw 37 is formed in an upper portion of the extension portion 21b that faces the hinge plate 25. The outer diameter of the opening 21h is larger than the outer diameter of the rotation-restricting screw 37.

[0016] The display unit attachment member 22 is a metal fitting that connects the display unit 10 and the swivel mechanism 50. The display unit attachment member 22 is provided so as to be housed inside the stand cover 21. The display unit attachment member 22 has a first attachment portion 22a and a second attachment portion 22b. The swivel mechanism 50 is attached to the first attachment portion 22a using screws or the like. The second attachment portion 22b stands on the first attachment portion 22a and is attached to the back surface of the display unit 10 using screws or the like.

[0017] The rotation restricting screw 37, which will be described in detail later, is a member that restricts the swivel operation of the swivel mechanism 50. The rotation restricting screw 37 is not covered by the stand cover 21, and is detachably attached to the swivel mechanism 50 so that it is exposed to the outside. When the rotation restricting screw 37 is attached to the swivel mechanism 50, the swivel mechanism 50 enters a locked state in which swivel operation is restricted, and when the rotation restricting screw 37 is removed from the swivel mechanism 50, the swivel mechanism 50 enters an unlocked state in which swivel operation is possible.

[0018] Next, the outline of the configuration of the stand 20 will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 4. Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the stand 20 according to the embodiment with the stand cover 21 removed.

[0019] Swivel mechanism 50 has, for example, bolt (rotating shaft member) 24, hinge plate 25, bearing 26, washers 27 and 28, hinge base 29, washers 30 and 31, disc springs 32 and 33, washer 34, and nut 35. Swivel mechanism 50 also has rotation-restricting screw 37 for restricting the swivel operation, and guide member 38 for guiding rotation-restricting screw 37 when it is attached.

[0020] The bolt 24 has a head 24a and a shank 24b that extends from the head 24a and has a smaller diameter than the head 24a. The shank 24b extends in the axial direction. The bolt 24 is inserted from the upper surface (the surface facing the display unit mounting member 22) of the hinge plate 25 so that the shank 24b penetrates through through holes formed in the hinge plate 25, bearing 26, washers 27 and 28, hinge base 29, washers 30 and 31, disc springs 32 and 33, and washer 34, which are arranged in this order from top to bottom. The tip of the shank 24b is then fitted into a nut 35. A thread is formed on the shank 24b. For example, the outer shape of the shank 24b may be shaped to fit into a bolt hole 25h1 of the hinge plate 25, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 6. For example, a cross section of the shaft portion 24b cut in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction has a shape including an arc-shaped portion and at least one (for example, two) linear portions.

[0021] The bearing 26 is provided on the hinge base 29, and the hinge plate 25 is provided on the bearing 26. The bearing 26 allows the hinge plate 25 to rotate around the bolt 24 relative to the hinge base 29.

[0022] The hinge plate 25 and the hinge base 29 are disposed opposite each other via a bearing 26, and are connected by a bolt 24. The hinge plate 25 rotates around the bolt 24 relative to the hinge base 29, with the bolt 24 serving as the axis of rotation, thereby enabling a swivel operation by the swivel mechanism 50.

[0023] Next, the hinge base 29 will be described with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the hinge base 29 according to the embodiment. The hinge base 29 is a plate-shaped member attached to the support column 42. For example, the hinge base 29 is fixed to the top of the support column 42 using a screw or the like. The hinge base 29 is formed with a bolt hole 29h1, an engagement protrusion 29a, and a first through-hole 29h2.

[0024] Bolt hole 29h1 is a through-hole for passing bolt 24. Bolt hole 29h1 has, for example, a circular shape when viewed from above. For example, the periphery of bolt hole 29h1 is raised in a frame shape, and washers 27 and 28 through which bolt 24 is passed are provided.

[0025] The engagement protrusion 29a is a member that serves as a guide when the hinge plate is rotated around the bolt 24 relative to the hinge base 29. The engagement protrusion 29a is provided so as to protrude upward from the upper surface of the hinge base 29 (the surface facing the hinge plate 25).

[0026] The first through-hole 29h2 is a through-hole for passing the rotation-restricting screw 37. The first through-hole 29h2 is formed in a position of the hinge base 29 that overlaps with the opening 21h formed in the stand cover 21. For example, a thread corresponding to the thread formed on the rotation-restricting screw 37 is formed on the inner wall of the first through-hole 29h2 that defines the first through-hole 29h2. Although details will be described later using FIG. 10 and the like, it is preferable that the first frame-shaped region 29p that surrounds the periphery of the first through-hole 29h2 in a frame shape and the inner wall of the first through-hole 29h2 are different colors from the inner wall of the second through-hole 25h2 in the hinge plate 25. This is to make it easier for the user to visually recognize that the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 overlap.

[0027] The hinge base 29 also includes a first region 29A1 overlapping the top of the support column 42 and a first extending region 29A2 extending from the first region 29A1. For example, the first extending region 29A2 extends from the first region 29A1 so as not to overlap the support column 42 but to extend outward beyond the support column 42. For example, the first region 29A1 is covered by the cover portion 21a of the stand cover 21, and the first extending region 29A2 is covered by the extending portion 21b of the stand cover 21. For example, the first extending region 29A2 is not bent from the first region 29A1 but has a shape that forms a plane that is continuous with the first region 29A1. For example, the bolt hole 29h1 and the engagement protrusion 29a are formed in the first region 29A1, and the first through-hole 29h2 and the first frame-shaped region 29p are formed in the first extending region 29A2.

[0028] Next, the hinge plate 25 will be described with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the hinge plate 25 according to the embodiment. The hinge plate 25 is a plate-shaped member attached to the display unit attachment member 22. Specifically, for example, the hinge plate 25 is fixed to the first attachment portion 22a using screws or the like so that the upper surface of the hinge plate 25 faces and contacts the lower surface of the first attachment portion 22a of the display unit attachment member 22. The hinge plate 25 is formed with a bolt hole 25h1, a second through hole 25h2, and an elongated hole 25h3.

[0029] Bolt hole 25h1 is a through hole for passing bolt 24 through. For example, bolt hole 25h1 may have a shape that fits with shaft portion 24b of bolt 24. For example, the shape of bolt hole 25h1 in a plan view includes an arc-shaped portion and at least one linear portion (two portions in the example shown in FIG. 6). As a result, when performing a swiveling operation, bolt 24 that fits with bolt hole 25h1 also rotates relative to hinge base 29 together with hinge plate 25. Note that the shape in which bolt hole 25h1 and shaft portion 24b fit together is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 6 and may have another shape.

[0030] For example, around the bolt hole 25h1, a recess 25a is provided in a frame shape that is deep enough to accommodate the head 24a of the bolt 24. As a result, the head 24a of the bolt 24 inserted into the bolt hole 25h1 from the upper surface (the surface facing the display unit mounting member 22) side of the hinge plate 25 is accommodated in the recess 25a. This creates a gap between the head 24a of the bolt 24 and the display unit mounting member 22, preventing the head 24a of the bolt 24 from coming into contact with the display unit mounting member 22 and allowing the bolt 24 to rotate smoothly when performing a swivel operation.

[0031] The second through hole 25h2 is a through hole for passing the rotation restricting screw 37. The second through hole 25h2 is formed at a position in the hinge plate 25 that can be overlapped with the first through hole 29h2 and the opening 21h formed in the stand cover 21 by adjusting the rotation position of the hinge plate 25 around the bolt 24. For example, the inner wall of the second through hole 25h2 that forms the second through hole 25h2 may be cylindrical and not have a thread.

[0032] The elongated hole 25h3 is a through-hole into which the engaging protrusion 29a of the hinge base 29 is inserted. The elongated hole 25h3 is formed in an arc shape centered on the bolt hole 25h1 so that the elongated hole 25h3 is longer than the longitudinal length of the engaging protrusion 29a. The hinge plate 25 can rotate around the bolt 24 with respect to the hinge base 29 within an angular range from the position where the engaging protrusion 29a inserted into the elongated hole 25h3 contacts one end of the elongated hole 25h3 to the position where the engaging protrusion 29a contacts the other end of the elongated hole 25h3.

[0033] The hinge plate 25 includes a second region 25A1 overlapping with the first region 29A1 of the hinge base 29, and a second extending region 25A2 including a region around the second through-hole 25h2 and extending from the second region 25A1. For example, the second region 25A1 is provided above the support column 42 and overlaps with the support column 42 via the first region 29A1 of the hinge base 29 and the bearing 26. An end of the second region 25A1 approaches the hinge base 29 and is further bent to be parallel to the hinge base 29, and is in contact with the upper surface of the hinge base 29.

[0034] The second extending region 25A2 extends from the second region 25A1 so as to protrude beyond the support column 42 without overlapping with the support column 42. For example, the second region 25A1 is covered by the cover portion 21a of the stand cover 21, and the second extending region 25A2 is covered by the extending portion 21b of the stand cover 21. For example, the second extending region 25A2 is not bent from the end of the second region 25A1, but has a shape that forms a plane that is continuous with the end of the second region 25A1. For example, the bolt hole 25h1 and the elongated hole 25h3 are formed in the second region 25A1, and the second through hole 25h2 is formed in the second extending region 25A2. The guide member 38 is mounted on the end of the second region 25A1 and the second extending region 25A2.

[0035] Next, the rotation restriction screw 37 and the unlocked and locked states of the swivel mechanism 50 will be described mainly with reference to Figs. 7 to 9. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the rotation restriction screw 37 according to the embodiment. Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the swivel mechanism 50 in the unlocked state according to the embodiment. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the swivel mechanism 50 in the locked state according to the embodiment.

[0036] The rotation restriction screw 37 is a member for switching the swivel operation of the swivel mechanism 50 between an unlocked state (the state shown in FIG. 8 ) and a locked state (the state shown in FIG. 9 ). When the rotation restriction screw 37 is attached to the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2, the swivel mechanism 50 is in a locked state in which swivel operation is disabled. When the rotation restriction screw 37 is removed from the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2, the swivel mechanism 50 is in an unlocked state in which swivel operation is enabled. Because the rotation restriction screw 37 is detachable from the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2, the swivel mechanism 50 can be easily switched between the locked state and the unlocked state simply by attaching and removing the rotation restriction screw 37 to and from the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2. The rotation restriction screw 37 is preferably made of a metal material. This makes it possible to obtain a rotation restricting screw 37 with high strength.

[0037] The rotation-restricting screw 37 has a head 37a and a shank 37b that extends from the head 37a and has a smaller diameter than the head 37a. The end of the shank 37b opposite the end where the head 37a is provided is a tip 37b1. A linear groove is formed in a top surface 37a1 of the head 37a, into which a user can insert, for example, a flat-head screwdriver to tighten the rotation-restricting screw 37. Note that the shape of the groove formed in the top surface 37a1 is not limited to a linear shape and may be other shapes. The shank 37b is inserted into the overlapping second through-hole 25h2 and first through-hole 29h2. A thread is formed on the shank 37b that corresponds to the thread formed on the inner wall of the first through-hole 29h2 in the hinge base 29. If the rotation-restricting screw 37 is a screw with a thread formed on the shank 37b, it can be attached more firmly and stably in the second through-hole 25h2 and the first through-hole 29h2. However, the rotation-restricting screw 37 is not limited to a screw, and may be, for example, a pin with a columnar shank 37b without a thread formed on the shank 37b.

[0038] Because head 37a is the part that is gripped by the user, it is preferable that the length of head 37a in the extension direction be longer than the length of shaft 37b in the extension direction, which makes it easier for the user to attach and detach rotation-restricting screw 37 to and from hinge plate 25 and hinge base 29, thereby improving the efficiency of attaching and detaching rotation-restricting screw 37.

[0039] 8, when the swivel mechanism 50 is caused to swivel, the user removes the rotation restricting screw 37 from the hinge base 29 and the hinge plate 25. This enables the swivel operation in which the engagement protrusion 29a inserted into the elongated hole 25h3 from below can move within the elongated hole 25h3, which is indicated by the length L1 from one end to the other end of the elongated hole 25h3, and the hinge plate 25 and the bolt 24 rotate integrally around the bolt 24 relative to the hinge base 29.

[0040] 9 , when restricting the swivel movement of swivel mechanism 50, a user attaches rotation restricting screw 37 to hinge base 29 and hinge plate 25. For example, the user adjusts the position of hinge plate 25 around bolt 24 relative to hinge base 29 so that second through-hole 25h2 and first through-hole 29h2 overlap each other, and then inserts shank 37b of rotation restricting screw 37 so that overlapping second through-hole 25h2 and first through-hole 29h2 communicate with each other. As a result, the position of hinge plate 25 around bolt 24 is fixed by rotation restricting screw 37, and the swivel movement of hinge plate 25 rotating around bolt 24 relative to hinge base 29 is restricted.

[0041] As described above, the stand 20 comprises a hinge base 29 having a first through hole 29h2 formed therein, a hinge plate 25 having a second through hole 25h2 formed therein that can overlap with the first through hole 29h2, a bolt (rotating shaft member) 24 that rotatably supports the hinge plate 25 relative to the hinge base 29, and a rotation restriction screw 37 that is inserted so as to communicate with the overlapping first through hole 29h2 and second through hole 25h2 and restricts the rotation of the hinge plate 25 around the bolt 24 relative to the hinge base 29.

[0042] As a result, the strength of rotation-restricting screw 37 itself, which is inserted so as to communicate with first through-hole 29h2 and second through-hole 25h2, can restrict rotation of hinge plate 25 about bolt 24 relative to hinge base 29. Therefore, with stand 20 and display device 1, the rotation of hinge plate 25 about bolt 24, i.e., the swivel operation, can be reliably restricted for a long period of time, compared to a swivel mechanism that restricts rotation of the hinge plate about the rotation axis by friction when the surface of the support ring that faces the hinge plate is brought into contact with and pressed against the hinge plate.

[0043] 1 and 2, the rotation restricting screw 37 is attached to the swivel mechanism 50 by being inserted from above into the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 that overlap with the opening 21h through the opening 21h formed in the stand cover 21 so as to communicate with each other from above to below. When the rotation restricting screw 37 is attached to the swivel mechanism 50, the rotation restricting screw 37 is not covered by the stand cover 21 and is exposed. This allows the user to visually determine whether the rotation restricting screw 37 is attached to the hinge base 29 and the hinge plate 25 (a state in which the swivel operation is locked) or whether the rotation restricting screw 37 has been removed from the hinge base 29 and the hinge plate 25 (a state in which the swivel operation is unlocked) without removing the stand cover 21. Therefore, the stand 20 allows the user to easily determine whether the swivel operation is locked or unlocked.

[0044] Furthermore, when the rotation restricting screw 37 is attached to the swivel mechanism 50 by being inserted so as to communicate with the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2, it is preferable that the tip portion 37b1 inserted into the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 is positioned outside the support column 42 and exposed to the outside. This allows the user to visually determine whether the rotation restricting screw 37 is attached to the hinge base 29 and the hinge plate 25 (a state in which the swivel operation is locked) or whether the rotation restricting screw 37 has been removed from the hinge base 29 and the hinge plate 25 (a state in which the swivel operation is unlocked) by looking from below the stand cover 21 without removing the stand cover 21. Therefore, the stand 20 allows the user to easily determine whether the swivel operation is locked or unlocked. For example, the tip portion 37b1 inserted into the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 may be exposed to the outside by protruding downward from the first through-hole 29h2.

[0045] 10 is a perspective view of the vicinity of each of the first through hole 29h2 in the hinge base 29 and the second through hole 25h2 in the hinge plate 25 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 10, a first frame-shaped region 29p that surrounds the periphery of the first through hole 29h2 in a frame shape on the surface of the hinge base 29 facing the hinge plate 25, and the inner wall of the second through hole 25h2 formed in the hinge plate 25 are preferably different in color from each other.

[0046] This allows the user to visually determine whether the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 overlap when inserting the rotation-restricting screw 37 into the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2, thereby allowing the user to easily adjust the position of the hinge plate 25 around the bolt 24 so that the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 overlap.

[0047] The colors of the first frame-shaped region 29p and the hinge plate 25 are not particularly limited, but for example, if the first frame-shaped region 29p is white (or black) and the hinge plate 25 is black (or white), it is preferable because it is visually easy to tell whether the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2 overlap or not.

[0048] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first through hole 29h2 and the inner wall of the second through hole 25h2 may be different colors, such as one being white and the other being black, which also allows the user to visually determine whether the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2 overlap, making it easier to adjust the position of the hinge plate 25 around the bolt 24.

[0049] Furthermore, it is preferable that the diameter D2 of the second through-hole 25h2 overlapping the first through-hole 29h2 above be larger than the diameter D1 of the first through-hole 29h2. This allows the user to visually determine whether the first through-hole 29h2 and the second through-hole 25h2 overlap. This allows the user to easily adjust the position of the hinge plate 25 around the bolt 24.

[0050] Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a stand 20 according to a modified example of the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 11, the first extension region 29A2 of the hinge base 29 may extend in a bent manner from the first region 29A1, and the second extension region 25A2 of the hinge plate 25 may extend in a bent manner from the second region 25A1. This allows the depth of the stand 20 to be shorter than when the first extension region 29A2 and the second extension region 25A2 extend laterally relative to the support 42. This allows the area required for installing the stand 20 to be reduced.

[0051] 11, the rotation restricting screw 37 is inserted into the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2 from the first through hole 29h side so as to communicate with the first through hole 29h2 and the second through hole 25h2. Note that, even in the modification shown in FIG. 11, the rotation restricting screw 37 is not covered by the stand cover 21 and is exposed to the outside.
