Adjustable Display Support Arm With Concealed Cable Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or height of the display panel and often have exposed cables, which can be aesthetically unpleasing and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that includes a support arm system with rotatable ends coupled to both the display panel and a clip, allowing for adjustable angle and height settings, along with a cable management system that minimizes external exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a fixed support structure is used, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but adaptability for different display angles and heights deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support arm is designed with rotatable joints at both ends, transforming a static fixed structure into a dynamic adjustable one. The first end rotates relative to the clip along a first axis, while the second end rotates relative to the display panel along a second axis, enabling multiple display angles and heights while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through standardized rotational coupling mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure is divided into distinct modular components: the clip, the support arm with its two ends, and the display panel. Each segment can rotate independently at its coupling points, allowing the system to achieve complex positioning capabilities through simple, repeatable rotational joints rather than requiring a complex monolithic structure.
2Ease of operation
If cables are externally exposed for connectivity, then ease of connection is improved, but aesthetic appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The cable is nested within the support arm structure, running through the interior of the support arm from the clip to the display panel. This nesting conceals the cable within the existing structural component, eliminating external cable exposure and improving aesthetics while maintaining cable connectivity and ease of connection through the integrated design.
