Adjustable Display Stand Height to Clear Sound Bar Obstruction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses are hindered by peripheral devices such as sound bars covering the display panel when installed in front, necessitating a solution that allows the display panel to adjust its height to avoid obstruction.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a stand and a height adjustment member that supports the housing in multiple positions, enabling the display panel to move upward or downward to accommodate peripheral devices without obstruction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the display panel is disposed close to the floor surface, then the device has a compact appearance, but the display panel may be covered by peripheral apparatus such as sound bars
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus employs a height adjustment mechanism that allows the display panel to dynamically change its vertical position between a first height (close to floor surface for compact appearance) and a second height (elevated to avoid obstruction by peripheral apparatus). This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction by enabling the system to adapt its shape characteristics based on operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the vertical position parameter of the display panel between two discrete height levels. By adjusting the height parameter from the first height to the second height, the system maintains compact appearance when needed while ensuring visibility and accessibility when peripheral apparatus are present, thus resolving the contradiction between appearance and adaptability.
2Shape
If the display panel is disposed close to the floor surface, then the device has a compact appearance, but the display panel cannot be accessed when peripheral apparatus are installed
Solution Approach 1:
The height adjustment mechanism enables the display panel to transition between a lowered position (first height) for compact appearance and an elevated position (second height) for improved accessibility. This dynamic repositioning allows users to access the display panel easily when peripheral apparatus such as sound bars are installed, while maintaining aesthetic appeal when these apparatus are not present.
Solution Approach 2:
By changing the vertical position parameter of the display panel between two discrete levels, the system resolves the contradiction between compact appearance and ease of operation. The display panel can be positioned at the first height for aesthetic purposes or elevated to the second height to improve accessibility when peripheral devices are installed in front of it.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a height adjustment mechanism is added, then the display panel can be positioned at multiple heights, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The height adjustment mechanism is implemented as a separate, modular stand assembly that is coupled to the display panel housing. This segmentation allows the adjustment mechanism to be an independent component with its own base, support structure, and height adjustment member, making the overall system more manageable and potentially easier to manufacture and assemble despite the added complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand assembly serves multiple functions: it supports the display panel housing, provides height adjustment capability, and enables positioning at multiple discrete heights. By consolidating these functions into a single integrated component, the invention adds height adjustability while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity compared to having separate components for each function.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy adjustment of the display panel's height, ensuring it remains visible and functional regardless of the presence of peripheral devices, enhancing user experience and usability.
Implementation Method 1
a support protrusion protruding from the base and configured to support the housing in a first position at a first height
Implementation Method 2
a height adjustment member is coupled to the stand and configured to support the housing in a second position at a second height
Implementation Method 3
The height adjustment member may include a support surface rotatably coupled to the support protrusion and supporting the housing while the housing is supported in the second position
