Motorized Display Support With Screw-Driven Height Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display supporting devices require manual adjustment for angle and position, which is inconvenient, especially for displays with face tracking functions that need to be adjusted dynamically to suit user preferences.
Innovation Solution
A supporting device with an upright, bearing slider, actuating module, driving module, and control module, utilizing a screw rod and sensors to electrically adjust the display's height, allowing for precise positioning and automatic tracking of the user's face.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual adjustment is used for display angle and position, then the device structure is simple, but the ease of operation is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an electric driving system. A driving module containing a screw rod and screwing element converts rotational motion into linear motion to automatically adjust the bearing slider's position along the first axis, enabling electric control of display height and angle without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The control module enables the system to automatically adjust the display position based on received control signals. The screw rod rotates automatically to drive the bearing slider to predetermined positions, making the system self-adjusting without requiring user manual operation.
2Ease of operation
If electric driving is used to adjust display height, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the supporting device into functionally independent modules: the actuating module (screw rod and screwing element) for position adjustment, the driving module (motor) for providing rotational force, and the control module for signal processing. This modular segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall system manageability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex manual mechanical adjustment mechanisms with a more compact electric driving system. The motor-driven screw rod mechanism provides precise, controllable linear motion with fewer mechanical linkages than traditional manual adjustment systems, reducing overall mechanical complexity while improving ease of operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If face tracking function is implemented, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation should be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The control module receives control signals that indicate desired display positions (such as signals from face tracking systems). Based on these feedback signals, the control module automatically adjusts the screw rod rotation to move the bearing slider to the appropriate position, enabling the display to adaptively track and follow the user's face while maintaining automatic operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic adjustment of the display position through the electric driving system. The bearing slider can move continuously along the first axis to any position between highest and lowest, allowing real-time adaptation to changing user positions or viewing requirements, making the system dynamically responsive rather than statically fixed.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy and precise adjustment of the display's height and position, enhancing user convenience and supporting advanced features like face tracking by using motors and sensors to control the screw rod's movement along a slide rail.
Implementation Method 1
The actuating module includes a screw rod and a screwing element, the screw rod is pivoted to the upright along a first axis and inserted to the screwing element, and the screwing element is disposed on the bearing slider and screwing to the screw rod

AI summary
A supporting device for supporting a display is provided. The supporting device includes an upright, a bearing slider, an actuating module, a driving module, and a control module. The upright includes a column body and a receiving space. The bearing slider is slidably disposed in the receiving space. The actuating module includes a screw rod and a screwing element, the screw rod is pivoted to the upright along a first axis and inserted to the screwing element, and the screwing element is disposed on the bearing slider and screws with the screw rod. The driving module is connected to the actuating module and drives the screw rod to rotate about the first axis. The control module controls the driving module to drive the screw rod to rotate to make the screwing element and the bearing slider move between a highest position and a lowest position along the first axis.
