Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices with flip hinge stands require manual adjustment to set the tilting angle and apply force, which can be inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a flip hinge assembly that includes a stationary part, a rotary part, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member, where the second elastic member applies force opposite to the first elastic member to automatically set an initial tilting angle and allow adjustment of the force needed for tilting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a flip hinge stand is used for display devices, then the display device can be tilted to user's eye level, but manual adjustment is required which reduces convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The flip hinge stand is equipped with elastic members that automatically adjust the tilting angle without requiring manual intervention. The elastic members generate restoring forces that enable the stand to self-adjust to predetermined angles, eliminating the need for user operation and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic members are pre-configured with specific elastic forces that correspond to predetermined tilting angles. This preliminary setup allows the stand to automatically snap to the correct angles without requiring real-time manual adjustment, thus improving convenience and reducing adjustment time.
2Extent of automation
If elastic members are added to automate tilting adjustment, then automatic setting of initial tilting angle is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic members serve multiple functions: they provide restoring forces for automatic adjustment, maintain the stand at predetermined angles, and can be integrated into the existing hinge structure. This multi-functionality achieves automation without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic members are integrated within the hinge assembly structure, with components nested within each other. The first and second elastic members are positioned within the hinge mechanism, allowing automatic adjustment functionality to be embedded without significantly increasing the overall device footprint or complexity.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution allows for automatic setting of the initial tilting angle and easy adjustment of the force required for tilting, enhancing user convenience and efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
a first elastic member, an end of which is coupled to the display main body, and the other end thereof is coupled to the hinge shaft to pull the hinge shaft in a direction
Implementation Method 2
a second elastic member having an end coupled to the display main body, wherein when an angle formed between the flip hinge body and the display main body is within a preset angle range, the other end of the second elastic member applies elastic force to the hinge shaft or the flip hinge body to rotate the hinge shaft in another direction
