Support stand structure with quick-release wheel mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support stand structures for kiosks and all-in-one PCs face challenges with easy sliding, difficult positioning, and space occupancy due to wheels, making them inconvenient for use.
Innovation Solution
A support stand structure with a quick-release wheel mechanism featuring a detachable wheeled seat and fasteners with movable pins, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly of wheels for stable positioning and space-saving functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wheels are mounted under the machine or support stand, then the device can be moved easily, but the machine becomes unstable and difficult to position
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the wheel mounting system changeable between fixed and detached states. The quick-release mechanism allows the wheeled seat to be rapidly attached when movement is needed and detached when stable positioning is required, enabling the system to dynamically adapt its mobility characteristics based on operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the support stand system into a main stand body and a separate detachable wheeled seat. This segmentation allows the wheels to be isolated on a removable component rather than being permanently integrated into the stand structure, enabling easy attachment and detachment to balance mobility and stability requirements.
2Ease of operation
If wheels are mounted under the machine or support stand, then the device can be moved, but the wheels occupy space and are inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the wheels from the main support stand structure and places them on a separate detachable wheeled seat. This extraction allows the wheels to be removed when not needed, eliminating their space-occupying effect during periods when stable positioning is required, while still providing mobility when needed.
3Reliability
If traditional fastening methods are used to attach wheels, then the wheels are securely fixed, but the assembly and disassembly process is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the quick-release mechanism with movable pins and corresponding holes in the tabs. This pre-designed interface allows for rapid attachment and detachment without requiring complex fastening operations, significantly reducing assembly time while maintaining secure wheel fixation through the engineered pin-hole engagement system.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a support stand structure with a quick-release wheel mechanism, which includes a stand, a detachable wheeled seat, and multiple fasteners. The stand includes a base. The base has multiple slots and a rear wall. The detachable wheeled seat includes a board and multiple wheels. The board has a front plate disposed above the base and a rear plate projecting over the rear wall. The front plate has multiple tabs extended downwardly and inserted in each slot. Each tab has a through hole. The wheels are mounted on a bottom of the rear plate. The fasteners are installed on a bottom of the base. Each fastener includes a movable pin. Each movable pin is attachable to and detachable from each through hole. Therefore, the support stand has the advantages of stability and saving space with detachable wheels.
