Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional supporting stands are bulky and complex, making them difficult to assemble and not compliant with the trend of lightness and slimness, due to the requirement of a large accommodating space defined by multiple walls and screws.
Innovation Solution
A supporting stand design that replaces the conventional rear and side walls with a column body, utilizing a slidable clipping unit with a structural sleeve element and contact elements to simplify assembly and reduce volume, featuring a slider and elastic element for easy adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional multiple walls and screws are used to define accommodating space, then structural stability is improved, but device volume increases and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate wall components (rear wall, two side walls, two front walls) into a single integrated column body structure. This consolidation maintains the necessary structural stability while significantly reducing the overall device volume and eliminating the need for multiple separate parts and assembly steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The slidable clipping unit is nested within the column body, with the structural sleeve element fitting inside the column body cavity. This nested arrangement allows the clipping mechanism to be compactly integrated into the column structure without increasing external dimensions, achieving both stability and compactness.
2Stability of the object's composition
If conventional multiple walls and screws are used to define accommodating space, then structural stability is improved, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate wall components (rear wall, two side walls, two front walls) into a single integrated column body structure. This consolidation maintains the necessary structural stability while significantly reducing the overall device volume and eliminating the need for multiple separate parts and assembly steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The slidable clipping unit features self-aligning and self-locking capabilities through its elastic element and engagement structure. The elastic element automatically provides contact force to engage with the column body, eliminating the need for precise manual alignment or additional fastening operations during assembly.
3Ease of manufacture
If slidable clipping unit with rolling contact is used, then assembly simplicity is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The slidable clipping unit features self-aligning and self-locking capabilities through its elastic element and engagement structure. The elastic element automatically provides contact force to engage with the column body, eliminating the need for precise manual alignment or additional fastening operations during assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the elastic element to dynamically adjust the contact force and positioning of the rolling contact bodies. By allowing the elastic element to compress and expand, the system compensates for minor manufacturing tolerances and ensures reliable rolling contact engagement without requiring extremely tight precision control.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design allows for a compact and easy-to-assemble supporting stand that aligns with modern trends of lightness and slimness, facilitating the assembly process while maintaining structural integrity.
Implementation Method 1
The contact element has a first contact body and a second contact body. The first contact body and the second contact body are rollable relative to the column body
Implementation Method 2
The elastic element is connected to the column body and the structural sleeve element respectively, and permanently provides an elastic force

AI summary
A supporting stand is provided. The supporting stand includes an upright, a slidable clipping unit, a slider, an elastic element, and a bearing board. The upright includes a column body. The slidable clipping unit clamps the column body, and includes a structural sleeve element and a contact element. The contact element has a first contact body and a second contact body being rollable relative to the column body. The elastic element is connected to the column body and the structural sleeve element. The slider is configured to the structural sleeve element. The bearing board is disposed on the slider and bears the display. When an external force is applied, the structural sleeve element makes the slider move between a highest position and a lowest position, and when the external force is removed, the slider stops at any position between the highest position and the lowest position.
