Protective Sleeve Hinge Assembly for Height and Screen Rotation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display terminal devices lack the ability to adjust height and switch between horizontal and vertical screen orientations effectively, failing to meet diverse user scenarios and protection needs.
Innovation Solution
A protective support system with a backplane, hinge assembly, and connecting assembly that allows for adjustable angles and detachable rotation of a backshell, combined with driving modules and a control unit to automate these adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a protective support with hinge assembly and connecting assembly is added to enable angle adjustment and orientation switching, then the adaptability and versatility of the display device are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective support system is divided into distinct functional modules: a backplane for mounting, a hinge assembly for angle adjustment, and a connecting assembly for orientation switching. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall system more manageable and adaptable while controlling complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge assembly and connecting assembly introduce dynamic capabilities to the otherwise static protective case. The hinge assembly enables continuous angle adjustment of the backplane relative to the display device, while the connecting assembly allows switching between horizontal and vertical orientations. These dynamic elements transform a fixed protective case into an adaptable support system.
2Ease of operation
If automated driving modules and control unit are added to enable automatic position adjustment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The driving modules are integrated into the protective support system itself, enabling it to automatically adjust its own configuration. The first driving module automatically positions the backplane at predetermined angles, and the second driving module automatically switches between horizontal and vertical orientations through the connecting assembly, reducing the need for manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
Manual mechanical adjustment operations are replaced with automated driving modules that can be controlled electronically. The control unit receives instructions and automatically actuates the driving modules to achieve the desired configuration, substituting complex manual mechanical operations with a more user-friendly automated control system.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a protective support, a protective sleeve apparatus and a control method thereof. The protective support includes a backplane for carrying a backshell of a display device, and a supporting side that enables the backplane to be supported at an arbitrary angle to a datum plane. A hinge assembly is layable flat on the datum plane and flexibly connected with the backplane, so that the hinge assembly and the backplane are flippable relative to each other. A connecting assembly is arranged on the backplane and slidable relative to the supporting side of the backplane, where the connecting assembly is used for detachably connecting the backshell so that the backshell is rotatable relative to the backplane. Compared with the prior art, not only the height of the display device can be adjusted, but also the display device may be switched between horizontal display and vertical display.
