Articulated Display Mount for Multi-Axis Panel Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or position of the display panel, limiting user flexibility and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a base, a head containing a display panel, a pole, an articulated connector, an elevating module, and an arm that allows for independent pivot, tilt, swivel, and elevating motions of the display panel, along with a mechanism for automatic adjustment and wireless charging.
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 user cannot adjust the angle or position of the display panel
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple independent functional modules: a base module, a pole module, an articulated connector module, an arm module, and a display panel module. Each module can move independently relative to others, enabling multiple degrees of freedom (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevation) while keeping each individual module relatively simple in structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the fixed display panel structure into a dynamic, multi-joint mechanism. The articulated connector and arm assemblies introduce rotational and elevational degrees of freedom, allowing the display panel to adapt to various viewing angles and positions. This dynamic structure resolves the contradiction by making the system adaptable without requiring complete structural redesign.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple motion operations are implemented independently, then the functionality is enhanced, but the mechanism complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple motion functions (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevation) are merged into a single integrated mechanism system. The articulated connector and arm work together as a coordinated mechanism rather than separate independent systems, reducing overall complexity while maintaining all four degrees of freedom. The pole serves as a common reference structure for all motion operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The arm assembly serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, enables elevation motion, facilitates swivel motion, and maintains proper positioning of the display panel. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate mechanisms for each motion type, thereby reducing overall complexity while enhancing adaptability.
