Adjustable Display Stand Structure for Ergonomic Desk Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ergonomic desk designs for electronic displays and computer monitors lack advanced adjustable features that allow for seamless height and tilt adjustments without requiring users to change their chair position, and do not effectively manage display positioning and lighting for optimal viewing.
Innovation Solution
A desk design incorporating telescoping legs with leg drive motors, a sled assembly with sliding movement, and a display stand with a mast and boom extension arms, along with integrated lighting controls and cable management features, allowing for adjustable height, depth, and tilt of display monitors, as well as automatic lighting adjustments based on image brightness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display monitors are mounted on fixed stands attached to the table surface, then the structure is simple and stable, but the display position cannot be adjusted for ergonomic viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The display stand incorporates motorized mechanisms that enable dynamic adjustment of display position in multiple dimensions (height, depth, tilt, and rotation). The mast assembly with boom arms and articulation joints allows the display to be positioned at various angles and locations, transforming a static fixed mount into a dynamically adjustable system that adapts to different viewing preferences and ergonomic requirements.
2Ease of operation
If the table surface is tilted for ergonomic viewing, then the viewing angle is improved, but the display monitors mounted on fixed stands become misaligned
Solution Approach 1:
The display stand features independent articulation joints and boom arms that can be adjusted to compensate for table tilting. When the table surface is tilted, the display position can be dynamically repositioned through the articulated mechanisms to maintain proper alignment and viewing angle, ensuring both ergonomic table positioning and correct display orientation are achieved simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand structure is divided into multiple independently adjustable segments including the mast, boom arms, and articulation joints. This segmentation allows each component to be adjusted separately, enabling the display to be repositioned relative to the tilted table surface to maintain proper viewing alignment while the table itself is angled for ergonomic comfort.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cables are routed to display monitors on adjustable stands, then the displays can be positioned flexibly, but cable management becomes complex and cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The sled assembly serves as an intermediary platform that consolidates cable routing. Cables can be routed through the sled structure and connection mechanisms, organizing wire management at a centralized location rather than having cables drape freely from multiple adjustable display positions. This intermediary structure provides built-in pathways and management features that keep cable routing organized despite the flexibility of display positioning.

AI summary
An ergonomic desk includes an adjustable display stand supported on a table or other support platform of the desk. The display stand is adapted to support one or more display monitors thereon and to provide depth and height adjustment for the display monitors via electronic controls. The height and tilt of the table may also be adjusted using electronic controls.
