Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or height of the display panel, and do not provide various motion operations.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a support arm system comprising an inner and outer arm, connected by a supporter with an elastic member, allowing for adjustable tilt and height adjustment of the display panel, and a rotatable connector for pivoting the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed support structure is used for the display panel, then the structure is simple and stable, but the display panel cannot be freely adjusted in angle or height
Solution Approach 1:
The support arm is divided into multiple segments (first support arm, second support arm, third support arm) connected by rotation units, allowing each segment to be independently adjusted. This segmentation enables the display panel to achieve multiple positions and angles while maintaining structural simplicity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure transitions from a fixed rigid structure to a dynamic adjustable structure through the incorporation of rotation units with elastic members. These rotation units allow the support arms to rotate and adjust angles dynamically, providing adaptability while the elastic members maintain structural stability during adjustment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rotatable connector is added to enable pivoting movements, then the display panel can be freely positioned, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rotation unit merges multiple functions into a single integrated component: it provides rotational movement capability, incorporates an elastic member for maintaining position and providing balancing force, and includes limiting members for defining rotation ranges. This merging reduces the need for separate mechanisms for each function, thereby reducing overall device complexity while achieving pivoting capability.
3Reliability
If multiple support arms and rotation units are used for adjustment, then the display panel achieves stable positioning, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member in each rotation unit acts as a counterweight mechanism, providing balancing force that offsets the weight of the display panel and support structure. This allows the display panel to be held securely at any adjusted position without requiring complex locking mechanisms, as the elastic member continuously provides the necessary counterbalancing force to maintain stability.
