Angle Adjustment Lock With Arc-Guided Display Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing angle adjustment locks for display units are not designed for easy adjustment of the included angle between adjacent display units.
Innovation Solution
An angle adjustment lock comprising a lock body with guide portions, lock bases, and an adjustment assembly that includes an operating member and transmission members, allowing for smooth and precise adjustment of the angle between mounting surfaces by guiding the movement of lock bases along preset arc directions through sliding rods and transmission rods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional angle adjustment lock is used to connect adjacent display units, then the connection is stable and secure, but the adjustment of the included angle between display units is difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The lock base is designed with movable components including a sliding rod that can move along a guide portion and a transmission rod that rotates to convert rotational motion into linear motion. This dynamic structure allows the lock base to easily change position and adjust the included angle between display units, transforming a static connection into an adjustable one that maintains stability while enabling easy angle modification
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission rod acts as an intermediary mechanism between the rotating component and the sliding rod. It converts the rotational motion of the operating member into linear motion that moves the sliding rod along the guide portion, thereby controlling the position of the lock base and enabling smooth angle adjustment without direct manual manipulation of the lock base itself
2Measurement precision
If a traditional locking mechanism is used, then the connection between display units is secure, but the operational smoothness and adjustment precision are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The guide portion is designed with a curved or arc-shaped trajectory that guides the sliding rod along a predetermined path. This curved guide ensures that the lock base moves along the correct arc to achieve the desired included angle, providing precise positioning while the predetermined path simplifies the control mechanism compared to complex multi-component adjustment systems
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment mechanism is divided into distinct functional components: the operating member for input, the transmission rod for motion conversion, the sliding rod for position adjustment, and the guide portion for trajectory control. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall simplicity and precision in the angle adjustment process

Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates easy, quick, and labor-saving adjustment of the included angle between display units, with enhanced operational smoothness and reduced resistance, while providing precise positioning and simplified assembly and disassembly.
Implementation Method 1
the first guide portion is guidingly cooperated with the first transmission member, and when the operating member moves, the operating member drives the first lock base to move along a preset arc direction through the first transmission member
Implementation Method 2
the first sliding rod is slidably arranged on the lock body along the preset arc direction
