Offset-Shaft Display Mount for Rotation-Based Height Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses lack a flexible mounting structure that allows for easy adjustment of display assembly height and mode switching between landscape and portrait orientations without requiring separate height adjustment mechanisms, leading to inconvenience in accommodating users of different heights and usage environments.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a rotating shaft biased from the center, allowing simultaneous mode switching and height adjustment by rotating the display assembly, combined with an elastic device generating elastic force to stabilize the assembly during rotation, and a damper to prevent damage from acceleration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a separate height adjustment mechanism is added to enable height adjustment, then height adjustability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the height adjustment function with the mode switching function into a single integrated mounting structure. The rotating shaft mechanism simultaneously achieves both landscape-to-portrait mode switching and height adjustment, eliminating the need for separate adjustment mechanisms and reducing overall structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure is designed to perform multiple functions: it enables mode switching between landscape and portrait orientations while simultaneously providing height adjustment capability. This multi-functional design allows a single mechanism to serve multiple purposes, improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the rotating shaft is positioned at the center of the display assembly, then rotational balance is improved, but height adjustment capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent deliberately positions the rotating shaft asymmetrically, biased from the center of the display assembly toward the bottom edge. This asymmetric positioning creates an offset that enables height adjustment during rotation while maintaining sufficient rotational balance for stable operation in both landscape and portrait modes.
3Manufacturing precision
If the display assembly is designed for fixed mode, then manufacturing precision is improved, but adaptability to different usage environments deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the display assembly from a fixed-mode design to a dynamic, adjustable design. The mounting structure enables the display assembly to rotate between landscape and portrait modes while automatically adjusting height through the biased rotating shaft mechanism, allowing adaptation to different usage environments without compromising operational stability.

AI summary
The display apparatus includes a display assembly. The display apparatus further includes a mounting device on which the display assembly is mounted and a rotating shaft forming the center of rotation of the display assembly. The rotating shaft is at a fixed location for the mounting device and the display assembly, respectively. The display assembly is switched between a first mode and a second mode rotated from the first mode about a rotating shaft and is changed in the height of the center of the display assembly.
