Hinged Auxiliary Support for Display Stand Rigidity Loss Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display stands with single mounting arms lose rigidity over time, leading to an inability to support the display device at a desired viewing height, rendering them obsolete.
Innovation Solution
A hinged auxiliary support system positioned between the display device and the stand, comprising a stand support, monitor support, and coupling mechanism, allowing for adjustable angles and secure mounting via a hinge and locking mechanism, enabling dynamic angle adjustment and stabilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single mounting arm display stand is used, then the device structure is simple and easy to install, but the stand loses rigidity over time and cannot support the display device at the desired viewing height
Solution Approach 1:
The display stand is divided into multiple components: a first support arm, a second support arm, a hinge mechanism, and a locking mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function, with the first arm providing initial support and the second arm reinforcing the structure to maintain rigidity over time.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of the display device to various viewing angles, while the locking mechanism allows the user to fix the position once the desired angle is achieved. This combination of dynamic adjustability and static stability resolves the contradiction between simplicity and long-term rigidity.
2Ease of manufacture
If a single mounting arm display stand is used, then the installation process is simple, but the stand becomes obsolete and substandard over time due to inability to maintain desired viewing height
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge mechanism acts as an intermediary between the first support arm and the second support arm, allowing for controlled movement and angle adjustment. This intermediary component enables the stand to maintain reliability and viewing height stability while keeping the installation process relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism changes the physical state of the support arms from movable to fixed at the desired viewing angle. This parameter change (from dynamic to static) ensures long-term reliability and prevents the stand from becoming obsolete, while the overall design remains easy to install.
3Adaptability or versatility
If an auxiliary support with hinge and locking mechanism is added, then the viewing angle adjustability and support stability are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge mechanism provides dynamic adjustability for viewing angles, allowing the display device to be positioned at various angles. The locking mechanism then freezes this dynamic adjustment at the desired position, creating a system that combines adaptability with structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary support combines the hinge mechanism and locking mechanism into a single integrated assembly that attaches to the existing display stand. This merging of functions into one unit improves adaptability while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity.
