Solution Overview

Problem

Existing monitor stand bases are large in size, occupy space, have poor structural stability, are inconvenient to operate, and costly, with complex assembly and installation requiring users to bend down under the desktop.

Innovation Solution

A monitor stand base structure with a base body, first and second clips, and locking elements that allow for easy clamping and connection to a desktop without bending down, featuring simplified components and enhanced stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional base structures are used to clamp on tables of different thicknesses, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring users to bend down under the desktop for installation and adjustment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different table thicknessesVSAvoidconvenience of installation and adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the traditional clamping mechanism by moving the adjustment operation from underneath the desktop to the top surface. The base body with its clamping structure allows users to adjust and secure the monitor stand directly on the desktop surface, eliminating the need to bend down and operate under the desktop while maintaining adaptability to different thicknesses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Reliability

If multiple components and locking elements are used to achieve stable clamping, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases and manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclamping stabilityVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into the base body structure. The base body integrates the clamping mechanism, adjustment mechanism, and locking function into a single unified structure, eliminating the need for separate components such as individual clamps, elastic pads, and multiple locking elements found in traditional designs, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The base body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides clamping force, enables height adjustment, and secures the monitor stand, all through a single integrated structure rather than requiring separate specialized components for each function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Volume of moving object

If a compact base structure is used to save space, then volume is reduced, but structural stability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebase sizeVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a dynamic adjustment mechanism within the compact base body that allows the structure to adapt to different loading conditions and table thicknesses. The internal mechanism provides sufficient structural stability when clamped while maintaining a compact external form factor, resolving the contradiction between small size and stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A monitor stand base structure includes three main components: base body, first clip and second clip. When you want to clip it on the desktop, just pass the screw thread of the locking element through the positioning holes at the required height according to the thickness of the desktop, and then connect and fix it with the connecting screw holes of the second clip. Then, tighten the screw thread of another locking element to the fixing screw hole of the first fixed wall of the first clip to connect and fix it. The installation can be completed quickly and conveniently. This invention has the practicality of stable structure, simple construction, light weight, small space, convenient operation and low cost.
