Support Frame Automatic Rise and Rotate Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer displays require users to manually lift and rotate them 90 degrees to switch between landscape and portrait modes, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A support frame with a sliding module, resilient members, and a torsion member that allows the display to rise and rotate automatically when a user presses a press portion, utilizing elastic forces and torsion to drive the rotation, enabling easy switching between modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display is rotated manually by lifting and turning 90 degrees, then the display mode can be switched between landscape and portrait, but the operation becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The display module automatically rises and rotates 90 degrees when the user presses the press portion, eliminating the need for manual lifting and rotation operations. The system serves itself by using the pressed input to trigger the automatic position changing mechanism through the resilient members and torsion member.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical operation of lifting and rotating the display with an automatic mechanical system driven by resilient members and a torsion member. The mechanical system is activated by a simple press input rather than requiring complex manual manipulation.
2Ease of operation
If a simple pressing operation is used to trigger display rotation, then ease of operation is improved, but the mechanism requires resilient members and torsion members increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame mechanism is divided into distinct functional modules: the sliding module for vertical movement, the rotating member for 90-degree rotation, the resilient members for providing rising force, and the torsion member for providing rotation force. Each segment performs a specific function, making the overall complex mechanism manageable and maintainable.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanism uses dynamic elements including the resilient members that can compress and expand, and the torsion member that can twist and release energy. These dynamic components allow the display to automatically rise and rotate without requiring complex control systems, transforming simple press input into coordinated mechanical motion.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The support frame allows the display to automatically rise and rotate 90 degrees, enhancing user convenience by eliminating the need for manual operation.
Implementation Method 1
the first resilient member generates an elastic force to drive the sliding module to slide along the sliding groove
Implementation Method 2
the torsion member generates a torsion to drive the rotating member to rotate with respect to the sliding module
