Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display devices are not easily adjustable to achieve a healthy viewing position for users, as they lack the ability to be readily adjusted in height and cannot be rotated in a plane perpendicular to the base, making it cumbersome for users to position the display panel correctly.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a rotating apparatus with a first spindle assembly and a second spindle assembly that allows the display panel to rotate synchronously while also rising or falling, enabling movement up or down, pivoting back or forth, and rotating in a plane perpendicular to the base, thereby allowing for adjustable viewing angles and heights.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display device uses a fixed neck and base structure, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adjustability of the display panel position is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of display panel positionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating apparatus is divided into two independent spindle assemblies: the first spindle assembly enables rotation in the horizontal plane, while the second spindle assembly enables rotation in the vertical plane. This segmentation allows each assembly to be optimized for its specific function while collectively providing comprehensive adjustability without requiring a completely restructured complex mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The second spindle assembly is nested within or integrated with the first spindle assembly structure. The second spindle can rotate and simultaneously rise or fall along the connecting assembly that is part of the first spindle's structure. This nesting allows multiple degrees of freedom (horizontal rotation, vertical rotation, and height adjustment) to be achieved within a compact integrated structure, improving adjustability without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of operation

If the display panel is fixed in position, then the structural stability is maintained, but the viewing angle and height adjustment capability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of viewing position adjustmentVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The display device transitions from a static fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The first spindle assembly allows the display panel to rotate horizontally, and the second spindle assembly allows vertical rotation and height adjustment. These dynamic mechanisms enable the display panel to adapt to different viewing positions and angles while maintaining structural integrity through precision-engineered rotating connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display device lacks rotating capability, then the manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but the user comfort for healthy viewing position is poor
