Electronic Device Stands with Synchronized Limiter for Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device stands, such as those for LCD monitors, offer limited adjustability and convenience in changing angles, making it difficult to achieve optimal viewing positions.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates two stands with embedding, supporting, and connecting portions, along with a limiter, allowing for synchronized movement to adjust the visual angle, providing a more convenient and stable angle adjustment mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a single stand with pivot element is used, then the device can be supported stably on desktop, but it is difficult to change angles and inconvenient to use
Solution Approach 1:
The single stand is divided into two separate stands, each with its own embedding portion and supporting portion. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each stand while maintaining overall stability, resolving the contradiction between stability and ease of angle adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The stands are designed with swingable connecting portions that can rotate relative to the input/output module through embedding portions. This dynamic structure enables easy angle changes while the stands maintain stable support when positioned, addressing both stability and operational convenience.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the stand structure is made adjustable for angle changes, then viewing angle flexibility improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The embedding portion, connecting portion, and limiting portion are merged into an integrated stand structure. This combination provides multiple functions (attachment, rotation, and angle limitation) within a unified component, achieving angle adjustment flexibility without significantly increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand structure utilizes rotational movement in a different dimension (angular rotation around embedding portions) to achieve angle adjustment. This approach provides viewing angle flexibility without adding complex linear adjustment mechanisms, maintaining structural simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If two stands are used instead of one, then angle adjustment convenience improves, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The two stands are positioned asymmetrically on the back of the input/output module, with each stand having specific embedding and supporting portions oriented differently. This asymmetric arrangement enables convenient angle adjustment through natural leverage while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure compared to symmetric dual-stand configurations.

AI summary
An electronic device with supporting stands includes an input/output module, two stands and a limiter. The two stands are obliquely disposed on the back side of the input/output module. The stands are limited by the limiter to move synchronously. At the same time, the limiter has two slots penetrated by the stands to limit moving range for the stands. Then the stands are controlled to swing with an angle and finally the visual angle of the input/output module is varied in suitable range.
