Foldable Electronic Stand With Rotating Legs for Multi-Angle Tilt
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional stands for electronic apparatuses require users to repeatedly install and remove tilt units to change the inclination angle, making them cumbersome for carrying and adjusting the orientation of the apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A stand with rotatable leg sections that can be locked to the rear surface of the electronic apparatus, allowing for easy adjustment of the inclination angle and compact folding for carrying, featuring a base section with a plate member and leg sections with different lock and support configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a tilt unit is provided on the rear surface of the electronic apparatus to support the main body at an inclination angle, then the apparatus can be obliquely erected on a table, but the user has to repeatedly install and remove the tilt unit to change the inclination angle or when carrying the apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The tilt unit is designed with movable and adjustable components that allow dynamic reconfiguration. The engagement tooth rows and tilt support legs can be moved between different engagement positions, enabling the apparatus to transition between different inclination angles without complete disassembly, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of adjustment and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The tilt unit is divided into separate functional segments including engagement tooth rows, tilt support legs, and pivot support sections. These segmented components can be independently adjusted and repositioned, allowing users to change inclination angles by moving individual segments rather than removing the entire tilt unit, thereby reducing installation/removal complexity while maintaining adjustability
2Adaptability or versatility
If the tilt unit is provided with multiple engagement tooth rows and tilt support legs for different inclination angles, then the apparatus can be supported at various orientations, but the structure becomes more complex and bulky
Solution Approach 1:
The tilt unit employs universal engagement features where the engagement tooth rows and tilt support legs can serve multiple functions. The same structural elements provide both inclination adjustment and structural support, allowing a single component to fulfill multiple roles and reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The engagement tooth rows and tilt support legs are merged into an integrated assembly that combines multiple functions. The pivot support sections integrate both the support function and the adjustment mechanism, merging what would otherwise be separate components into unified structures that reduce complexity while providing multiple inclination options
3Adaptability or versatility
If the tilt unit is detachably mounted on the rear surface of the electronic apparatus, then the apparatus can be carried without the tilt unit, but the user has to go to all the trouble to remove and reinstall the tilt unit
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable mounting system incorporates dynamic engagement features that allow quick attachment and detachment. The engagement tooth rows and tilt support legs can be rapidly engaged or disengaged from the rear surface mounting points, enabling users to easily remove the tilt unit for carrying while minimizing the effort required for installation and removal operations
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances usability by allowing easy adjustment of the inclination angle and facilitates easy carrying by reducing the overall thickness when folded, providing a stable and versatile support system.
Implementation Method 1
The support section serves as a rotational support point, and has a rotational axis coincided with the axial directions of rotational axes of the leg sections

AI summary
A stand for an electronic apparatus is provided, which is configured to support a rear surface of the electronic apparatus at different inclining heights. The stand includes a base section composed of a plate member having a first edge and a second edge, and the plate member is configured to rotationally support the electronic apparatus adjacent to the first edge and defines an area for facing the rear surface of the electronic apparatus. The area defines a plurality of leg sections of different sizes, each including a lock section configured to lock with the rear surface of the electronic apparatus and a support section provided adjacent to the second edge of the plate member to serve as a rotational support for the leg section relative to the plate member. The support sections that serve as rotational supports for the plurality of leg sections share a common rotational axis.
