Display Mounting Stand With Spring Torque for Easy Screen Flipping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display mounting stands for large displays are unable to easily and quickly flip the display to accommodate multiple users from different directions, as they are designed for smaller displays and cannot handle the weight of larger displays.
Innovation Solution
A display mounting stand with a rotation mechanism that includes a shaft, rotation connector, and a spring device, allowing the display to be flipped by applying torque in opposite directions to counteract the weight of the display, enabling easy flipping and automatic deceleration to a desired angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional display mounting stands are used for large displays, then the display can be mounted, but the display cannot be easily or quickly flipped to accommodate multiple users from different directions
Solution Approach 1:
The spring device acts as a counterweight mechanism that applies upward force to offset the weight of the large display. When the display is flipped from one side to the other, the spring device stores and releases elastic potential energy, reducing the effort required by users to overcome gravity and move the heavy display between orientations.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting stand transitions from a static support structure to a dynamic system with movable components. The spring device enables the display to move smoothly between different orientations (landscape to portrait and vice versa) by providing controlled mechanical assistance, making the system adaptable to different viewing directions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mounting stands allow only tilt adjustment, then the structure remains simple, but the display cannot be flipped to allow users from different directions to see the screen
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting stand is divided into distinct functional components: a support base, a mounting bracket, and a spring device with separate elements (spring body, fixing plate, connecting rod). This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall structural clarity and ease of assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting stand is designed to perform multiple functions: it can hold the display in landscape orientation, portrait orientation, and various tilted positions. The spring device enables both tilt adjustment and full flipping operations, making the mounting stand versatile enough to accommodate different viewing scenarios and user needs.
3Force
If the spring device is connected close to the shaft, then the structure is compact, but the torque applied to counteract display weight is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The spring device is pre-compressed or pre-tensioned during assembly to store elastic potential energy before the display is mounted. This preliminary action ensures that the spring device is ready to immediately provide the necessary counterbalancing torque when the display is installed and flipped, without requiring additional adjustment or energy input.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting rod extends the spring device's influence from a single-point connection near the shaft to a distributed connection point farther from the shaft. By using the connecting rod as an intermediary, the system effectively increases the lever arm length and torque generation capability without significantly increasing the overall footprint of the mounting stand.
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
Enables easy flipping of large displays with minimal user effort and automatic deceleration to maintain any desired orientation, preventing damage and detachment.
Implementation Method 1
The spring device has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end is connected to the connecting structure of the rotation connector. The spring fixture connects and fixes the second end of the spring device.
Implementation Method 2
The spring device is configured to apply a first torque to the shaft. The mounting bracket is configured to apply a second torque, which is caused by weight of the display, to the shaft. The first torque and the second torque are in opposite directions.

AI summary
A display mounting stand includes a support base, a rotation mechanism disposed on the support base, and a mounting bracket connected to the rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism includes a shaft, a rotation connector, a spring device and a spring fixture. The shaft is rotatably disposed on the support base and is connected to the mounting bracket. The rotation connector is fixed to the shaft and includes a connecting structure spaced apart from the shaft. Two ends of the spring device spring device are connected to the connecting structure and the spring fixture, respectively. The spring device is configured to apply a first torque to the shaft. The mounting bracket is configured to apply a second torque, which is caused by a display mounted thereon, to the shaft. The first torque and the second torque are in opposite directions.
