Display Stand Locker Mechanism for Secure Vertical Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display stands do not efficiently support and rotate display modules, lacking a secure locking mechanism for vertical movement and convenient transportation modes.
Innovation Solution
A display stand with a locker mechanism that automatically unlocks to allow vertical movement of the display module, featuring a stopper that moves between locking and unlocking positions, and a supporter that retains the stopper in the unlocking position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a locker mechanism is added to prevent movement of the display module, then security and stability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is divided into separate functional components: a stopper for blocking movement, a push protrusion for actuating the stopper, and a supporter for providing support force. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall structure manageable and not excessively complex.
2Ease of operation
If an automatic unlocking structure is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is designed to unlock automatically when the supporter is inserted into the support groove. The push protrusion is positioned to be pushed by the supporter, which automatically moves the stopper to the unlocked position without requiring separate user intervention. This self-service mechanism simplifies operation while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.
3Reliability
If a stopper is used to block the slider, then reliability of locking is improved, but ease of operation for unlocking worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The push protrusion acts as an intermediary element between the supporter and the stopper. When the supporter is inserted, it pushes the push protrusion, which in turn moves the stopper to the unlocked position. This intermediary mechanism provides a reliable locking action when engaged while enabling easy unlocking through the simple action of inserting the supporter.

AI summary
A display stand includes: a support stand comprising a slide groove extending in one direction; a stand arm couplable to a display module and configured to be movable along the slide groove; a slider mounted in the support stand, the slider being coupled to the stand arm and being configured to be slid in the one direction with the stand arm; a locker mounted in the support stand, the locker comprising a stopper movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, when in the locking position, the stopper being interfered with the slider to prevent the stand arm from moving in the one direction along the slide groove; and a supporter couplable to the support stand, the supporter being configured to support the support stand and retain the stopper at the unlocking position by being coupled to the support stand.
