Multi-Board Support Assembly for Adjustable Display Height
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices, such as tablet computers, are often placed on support stands at a height lower than the user's eyes, making it inconvenient for viewing.
Innovation Solution
A support assembly comprising a first board, a second board, and a third board, where the second board is bendably connected to the first board, and the third board is pivoted to the first board, allowing the display surface to be raised by rotating the first board relative to the first portion, thus increasing the height of the display surface for more comfortable viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device is placed on a conventional support stand, then the device is supported stably, but the display surface is at a height lower than the user's eyes, making it inconvenient for viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The support assembly employs multiple boards with rotational and bending connections that allow dynamic adjustment of the display surface height and tilting angle. The first board rotates relative to the first portion, the third board rotates relative to the second board, enabling the system to adapt to different viewing positions and preferences rather than being fixed at a low height
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a single-plane support structure to a multi-dimensional adjustable structure. By incorporating rotational joints and bending connections between multiple boards, the system adds degrees of freedom in vertical height adjustment and tilting angle, allowing the display surface to be raised to eye level and positioned at various orientations
2Adaptability or versatility
If a multi-board support assembly with rotational and bending connections is used, then the display surface height and tilting angle are adjustable, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support assembly is divided into multiple independent boards (first board, second board, third board) with defined connection points. Each board can rotate or bend independently relative to others, allowing the complex adjustment function to be achieved through simple, modular components rather than a single complex mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The support assembly combines multiple functional elements (support function, height adjustment, tilting adjustment) into an integrated structure where the boards and their connections serve multiple purposes simultaneously, reducing the need for separate adjustment mechanisms

AI summary
An electronic device includes a display surface, a back surface with a first portion and a second portion, and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a first, second, and third boards. The first board includes a first surface, detachably covering the first portion, and a second surface. The second board is bendably connected to the first board and combined with the second portion. The third board includes a pivoted end and a free end. The pivoted end is pivotally connected to the second surface and covers the second board and a portion of the first board. When the first board rotates relative to the first portion, the third board also rotates relative to the second board, the second surface faces the third board, and the second board simultaneously moves along the third board. Accordingly, the display surface is raised up a distance relative to the free end.
