Swivel Arm Display Structure for Multi-Axis Panel Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or position of the display panel, limiting user flexibility and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a base, a head containing a display panel, a pole, an articulated connector, an elevating module, and an arm that allows for independent pivot, tilt, swivel, and elevating motions, along with a cradle for securing terminals and wireless charging capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed display panel structure is used, then the device structure is simple, but the user cannot adjust the angle or position of the display panel
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple independent modules: a base, a head containing the display panel, a pole connecting them, an articulated connector enabling relative motion, and an arm providing additional positioning. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function while collectively achieving multi-degree-of-freedom adjustability without excessive overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The structure transitions from a fixed configuration to a dynamic one by introducing the articulated connector and arm mechanism. These components enable the display panel to achieve pivot motion, tilt motion, swivel motion, and elevating motion, allowing the system to adapt to different user needs while maintaining a relatively simple base structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple motion operations are implemented independently, then the adjustability is enhanced, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple motion operations (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevating) are combined into a single integrated mechanical system through the articulated connector and arm. This merging allows all motions to be achieved through coordinated movement of connected components rather than requiring separate control mechanisms for each degree of freedom, simplifying the overall control structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The articulated connector and arm mechanism serve multiple functions simultaneously: they enable pivot motion, tilt motion, swivel motion, and elevating motion through a single integrated structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate mechanisms for each motion type, thereby simplifying control while enhancing adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a cradle for terminals is added, then the functionality is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The head component serves dual functions: it houses the display panel for visual output and incorporates a cradle for supporting terminals such as smartphones. This multi-functionality allows the device to provide both display capabilities and terminal support without requiring a completely separate structure, thereby enhancing versatility while controlling complexity.
