Curvature-Adjustable Display Base with Rotating Support Legs

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional curved display devices have fixed curvature bases that cannot adjust to user viewing needs, limiting the display effect and user convenience.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a base featuring two supporting legs and a connecting part that allows the legs to rotate relative to each other, accommodating changes in display screen curvature, using a convex pole and concave hole mechanism or an elastic member to adjust curvature.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed base structure is used for mounting the display screen, then the base structure is simple and stable, but the display screen curvature cannot be adjusted according to user viewing needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base structure is transformed from a static fixed configuration to a dynamic adjustable system. The two supporting legs are made rotatable relative to each other through the connecting part, allowing the base to adapt to different display screen curvatures. This enables the base to maintain stability while accommodating variable curvature requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The base is divided into separate functional components: two independent supporting legs and a connecting part. This segmentation allows each leg to rotate independently relative to the other, facilitating curvature adjustment while keeping the overall structure relatively simple and modular.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the base structure is made adjustable to accommodate curvature changes, then the curvature adjustment capability is improved, but the base structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting part incorporates a rotational mechanism that allows the two supporting legs to change their relative angle dynamically. This dynamic capability enables the base to adapt to different curvatures without requiring a completely complex reconfigurable structure, achieving adaptability with controlled complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a single-piece placing part is used in the base, then the base structure is simple and stable, but it cannot accommodate changes in display screen curvature

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The placing part is divided into two separate supporting legs that can rotate relative to each other. This segmentation transforms the single-piece rigid structure into a multi-component system that can accommodate curvature changes while maintaining relative structural simplicity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The two supporting legs are made rotatable relative to each other, introducing dynamic adjustability to the previously static placing part. This allows the base to adapt to different display screen curvatures while keeping the overall structure relatively simple through controlled rotational movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display device includes a base (1) and a curvature-adjustable display screen (3) mounted on the base (1). The base (1) includes two supporting legs (11) and a connecting part (15) disposed therebetween. Each of the supporting legs (11) includes a placing part (111) and a mounting part (113) upwardly extending therefrom. The mounting parts (113) are respectively connected to two sides of the display screen (3). The connecting part (15) is disposed between the two placing parts (111) and capable of allowing the two placing parts (111) rotatable relative to each other along with a change of curvature of the display screen (3) and thereby resulting in the base (1) variable with the change of curvature of the display screen (3). Therefore, the curvature of the display screen (3) can be adjusted according to user's viewing needs and the convenience of product use is increased.
