Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional screen supporting apparatuses do not allow for adjustment of the inclination angle of the screens they support, making them inconvenient for use.

Innovation Solution

A screen supporting apparatus with a movable assembly that includes a slideway unit and engaging portions on a mounting member, allowing for adjustable inclination of the screen by sliding rods within slide slots, enabling the adjustment of the screen's angle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a conventional screen supporting apparatus uses a fixed supporting structure, then the structure is simple and stable, but the inclination angle of the screen cannot be adjusted, reducing usability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen inclination adjustmentVSAvoidsupporting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed supporting structure into a movable and adjustable one. The sliding member with engaging portions that can move along the curved slot in the mounting member enables dynamic adjustment of the screen's inclination angle. This allows the structure to adapt from a static state to a dynamic state where the screen angle can be customized according to user needs, thereby improving ease of operation without significantly complicating the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed screen supporting apparatus is used, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different viewing positions and preferences is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen angle adaptabilityVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dynamics principle enables adaptability by allowing the sliding member to move freely along the curved slot, accommodating different inclination angles. This dynamic mechanism provides versatility in screen positioning while maintaining relatively simple structural complexity, as it uses a straightforward sliding engagement system rather than complex multi-component adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the inclination angle parameter of the screen through the movement of the sliding member along the curved slot. This allows the screen to adapt to different viewing positions and preferences by changing its angular parameter, thereby improving adaptability without requiring a complete redesign of the supporting structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If sliding members with engaging portions are added to enable angle adjustment, then screen inclination can be customized, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinclination angle adjustmentVSAvoidmovable assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dynamics principle resolves this contradiction by implementing a simple sliding mechanism where the engaging portions of the sliding member interact with the curved slot in the mounting member. This dynamic interaction enables angle adjustment through straightforward sliding motion rather than complex mechanical linkages, maintaining ease of operation while limiting the increase in device complexity to only the essential moving components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A screen supporting apparatus includes a supporting member and a movable assembly. The supporting member includes a base and an upright supporting rod disposed fixedly on and above the base. The movable assembly includes a mounting member disposed on the supporting rod and including a slideway unit. The sliding member has two spaced-apart engaging portions slidable within the slideway unit of the mounting member to adjust the inclination angle of the sliding member relative to the mounting member.
