Monitor Support Arm Pivot Mechanism for Tool-Free Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional monitor support apparatuses require tools to adjust the monitor's orientation, making it inconvenient and time-consuming, and often limit adjustment to a single angle, failing to meet user-specific needs.
Innovation Solution
A support apparatus with a mounting seat, support arm assembly, adjusting assembly, and connecting assembly that allows for manual adjustment of the monitor's angular position without tools, featuring pivotally connected support arms and brackets, enabling multiple angle adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional support apparatus uses bolts and tools to adjust monitor orientation, then the structure is stable and secure, but the adjustment process becomes inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the support arm can be freely rotated and positioned at any angle without requiring tools. The arm transitions from a fixed bolted connection to a movable pivot connection, allowing real-time adjustment of monitor orientation by simply gripping and rotating the support arm.
Solution Approach 2:
The support apparatus enables self-service adjustment through its pivotally connected support arm design. Users can directly manipulate the support arm to change monitor orientation without needing external tools or assistance, making the adjustment process intuitive and self-contained.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional support apparatus provides single angle adjustment, then the structure is simple, but it cannot meet diverse user needs for different viewing angles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static single-angle structure into a dynamic multi-angle system. The support arm is designed to pivot freely around the mounting seat, enabling the monitor to be positioned at various angles according to user preferences, thereby achieving adaptability without significant structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If conventional support apparatus uses fixed bolt connections, then the mounting is secure and stable, but the adjustment process requires tools and becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces fixed bolt connections with a dynamic pivot connection system. The support arm connects to the mounting seat through a pivot point that allows free rotation, eliminating the need for bolts and tool-based adjustment mechanisms while maintaining secure mounting stability.
