Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display supporting devices require manual adjustment to switch between portrait and landscape states, which is inconvenient and lacks precision.

Innovation Solution

A supporting device with a driving module that penetrates through a supporting element and a bearing board, allowing the bearing board to pivot electrically between portrait and landscape states, utilizing a rotating shaft, transfer module, and control module to automate the adjustment process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual adjustment is used to switch between portrait and landscape states, then the device structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates and adjustment precision is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical adjustment system with an automated driving module that uses a rotating shaft and transfer module to electrically drive the bearing board between portrait and landscape states, eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The driving module is automatically controlled by a control module that receives signals from a sensor to detect the display's current state, enabling the system to self-adjust without user intervention and improve operational convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If manual adjustment is used, then the device complexity is low, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment precisionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces imprecise manual mechanical adjustment with an automated driving system that uses a rotating shaft connected to the bearing board through a transfer module, enabling precise electrical control of the display orientation between portrait and landscape states

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If direct contact between bearing board and supporting element is used, then the device complexity is low, but the reliability deteriorates due to wear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice lifeVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a friction element as an intermediary component between the bearing board and supporting element. This friction element includes first and second friction bodies that clamp the rotating plate, preventing direct contact between the bearing board and supporting element to reduce wear and extend service life

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A supporting device for supporting a display is provided. The supporting device includes an upright, a slider, a bearing module, a driving module, a transfer module, and a control module. The slider is slidably disposed in the upright, and partially extending outward from the upright. The bearing module includes a bearing board and a supporting element. The bearing board bears the display, and the supporting element is connected to the slider. The transfer module is connected between the driving module and the bearing board. The control module is electrically connected to the driving module, and controls the driving module to drive the transfer module to make the bearing board rotate about the normal axis and relative to the supporting element, and the display changes between a portrait state and a landscape state.
