Notebook Screen Telescopic Adjustment Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Notebook computers with fixed screen heights can be inconvenient for users when the table or chair height is not suitable, requiring additional elevation to maintain comfort while watching videos or reading documents.
Innovation Solution
A notebook computer design incorporating a telescopic element with a base, rod, sliding elements, and locking mechanisms that allow the screen to be adjusted in height, rotated, and tilted, enabling flexible positioning to suit user comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the screen height is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the user comfort and adaptability are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed screen height into an adjustable one through a telescopic structure. The screen assembly can extend and retract along the telescopic element, allowing dynamic adjustment of screen height to match different user needs and viewing conditions, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic structure employs a nested design where one telescopic element is contained within another, allowing compact storage when not in use while providing extended reach when needed. This nesting principle enables the screen to achieve variable height adjustment without proportionally increasing the overall device volume or structural complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the screen position is fixed, then the manufacturing cost is low, but the ease of operation and user comfort are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic positioning capabilities through the telescopic structure that allows the screen to move between multiple positions. Users can adjust the screen height and angle according to their comfort needs, transforming a static fixed-position design into a dynamic adjustable system that enhances ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen assembly is segmented from the main body and connected through the telescopic mechanism, allowing independent movement and positioning adjustment. This segmentation enables the screen to be positioned at different heights and angles while maintaining connection to the computer host, improving operational flexibility without requiring complete redesign of the entire device.

AI summary
A notebook computer includes a first housing having a computer host and a second housing having a screen. A base is positioned inside the first housing for supporting a first end of a rod. A sliding element and a locking element are positioned on the rod. The sliding element is fixed inside the second housing. The locking element is capable of fixing the sliding element on the rod. There is a spheroid positioned at a second end of the rod, and the sliding element is capable of rotating along the surface of the spheroid when the sliding element is at the second end of the rod.
