Solution Overview

Problem

Existing desktop display brackets require cumbersome and inefficient mounting processes due to the need for multiple turns of a lock screw to secure the clamping mechanism to a desktop or table top, leading to low installation efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A base for the display bracket featuring a movable block with a thread engaged with the lock screw, allowing the lock screw to be adjusted and secured without needing to be turned multiple times, utilizing a rotating shaft and spring pieces to facilitate quick engagement and disengagement, enabling direct adjustment and locking of the lock screw to the desired position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the lock screw is threaded connected with the connecting part, then the clamping mechanism can securely clamp the desktop or table top, but it requires turning dozens of rounds to achieve locking, leading to low installation efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclamping securityVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The movable block is designed to transition between a locked position (where it engages with the lock screw thread) and an unlocked position (where it disengages from the thread). This dynamic positioning allows the system to switch between secure clamping and quick adjustment modes, resolving the contradiction between reliability and installation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The clamping mechanism is divided into separate functional components: the lock screw, the movable block with thread, and the connecting part. The movable block acts as an independent segment that can be positioned separately to control engagement, allowing quick setup without threading the entire lock screw through multiple rounds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the lock screw is made long enough to accommodate multiple turns, then secure locking is achieved, but the structure becomes more complex and adjustment becomes more troublesome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocking capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The movable block serves as an intermediary component between the lock screw and the connecting part. Instead of requiring the lock screw itself to be long and threaded throughout, the movable block provides the necessary threading function locally, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining locking capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a base for a display bracket and the display bracket, wherein the base for the display bracket includes a supporting part, a connecting part, and a lock screw. The connecting part is connected with the supporting part. The connecting part is provided with a first through hole and a movable block movably disposed at the first through hole. The lock screw passes through the first through hole, a clamping space is formed between a free end of the lock screw and the supporting part. The movable block has a thread engaged with the lock screw, so that when the thread of the movable block is controlled to be disengaged from the lock screw, the lock screw does not need to be turned and freely rises or falls in the first through hole of the connecting part.
