Articulated Display Mount With Cable Reel for Flexible Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or location of the display panel, limiting their versatility and user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a stand that includes a display panel, a frame, a back cover with a hole, and an articulated connector. The articulated connector features a cable reel for winding cables, an inner cover covering the cable reel, and an outer cover that can be detachably coupled to the inner cover, allowing for various motions such as pivot, tilt, swivel, and elevating of the display panel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed display panel structure is used, then the device structure is simple, but the display panel cannot be freely adjusted in angle or location
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by implementing an articulated connector that enables the display panel to perform multiple motions (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevating) rather than being fixed. The connector includes movable components that allow dynamic adjustment of the display panel's position and orientation, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different viewing angles and locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The articulated connector is divided into multiple independent components including a cable reel, inner cover, and outer cover. Each component performs a specific function: the cable reel manages cable winding, the inner cover protects the cable reel, and the outer cover provides additional protection and detachment capability. This segmentation allows for easier assembly, maintenance, and adjustment while achieving the desired versatility.
2Ease of operation
If an articulated connector with cable reel is used, then cable management is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs the nesting principle by placing the cable reel inside the inner cover, which is in turn positioned within the outer cover. This nested arrangement allows the cable management mechanism to be compactly integrated into the connector structure without significantly increasing the overall device footprint. The concentric arrangement of components (cable reel within inner cover within outer cover) achieves efficient cable management while minimizing structural complexity.
3Ease of repair
If a detachable outer cover is added, then work convenience is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable outer cover is designed as a separate, independent component that can be easily removed and reattached. This segmentation allows users to access the cable reel and inner cover for maintenance or cable management tasks without disassembling the entire connector. The outer cover acts as a removable protective layer that simplifies routine operations while adding minimal structural complexity to the overall system.
