Recessed Display Stand Pivot Structure for Slimmer Housings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices face challenges in slimming down their design due to exposed pivot connecting mechanisms that project beyond the housing, making it difficult to achieve a compact form factor.
Innovation Solution
The display device incorporates a housing with a first accommodating recess and a bracket stand module featuring an adapter and rotating member, where the rotating member is pivotally connected to a pivot connecting member and located in a second accommodating recess, allowing for reduced projection and enabling multiaxial rotation adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pivot connecting mechanisms are exposed from the housing to provide multiaxial rotation freedom, then the rotation functionality is improved, but the projecting length of the bracket stand module increases making slimming difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies nesting by placing the rotating member inside a recess of the housing, and further nesting the pivot connecting member within the rotating member structure. This nested arrangement allows the pivot connecting mechanisms to be hidden within the housing thickness rather than projecting outward, reducing the overall projecting length while preserving multiaxial rotation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions the pivot connecting mechanisms from a horizontal projection (extending outward from the housing) to a vertical arrangement (stacked within the housing thickness direction). By reorienting the mechanism along the thickness dimension rather than the horizontal dimension, the device achieves multiaxial rotation while maintaining a slim profile.
2Ease of operation
If the bracket stand module is designed with exposed pivot connecting mechanisms, then the rotation adjustment capability is improved, but the device thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rotating member is nested within a recess of the housing, and the pivot connecting member is nested within the rotating member structure. This nested configuration allows rotation adjustment mechanisms to be contained within the device thickness rather than extending beyond it, maintaining operational capability while reducing overall thickness.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of having the pivot connecting mechanisms extend outward from the housing (conventional approach), the patent inverts the arrangement by having the housing extend over the mechanisms, enclosing them within recesses. This inversion allows the same rotation functionality to be achieved while minimizing the device's external dimensions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pivot connecting mechanisms are used to achieve multiaxial rotation, then the rotation freedom is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple pivot connecting mechanisms into an integrated rotating member assembly that is contained within a single recess of the housing. By combining the mechanisms into a unified nested structure rather than having separate exposed components, the patent achieves multiaxial rotation freedom while reducing structural complexity and improving aesthetic appearance.

AI summary
A display device includes a housing and a bracket stand module. The housing has a first accommodating recess. The bracket stand module includes an adapter, a pivot connecting member and a rotating member. The adapter has a second accommodating recess, and is located and fixed in the first accommodating recess. The rotating member is pivotally connected to the pivot connecting member to rotate relative to the pivot connecting member, and is located and fixed in the second accommodating recess.
