Swivel Stand Base with Rolling Members for Display Rotation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatus with a line-type stand face challenges in incorporating a swivel function due to space constraints and aesthetic considerations, leading to increased bulk and complexity, which affects user convenience and product competitiveness.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a swivel member with multiple rotatable rolling members at the bottom of the stand, all sharing the same revolution center, allowing for maximum swivel rotation while maintaining a slim and elegant design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional swivel structure with a slip member is used, then the display body can rotate, but the structure becomes complex and the product weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the swivel function from the conventional complex slip member structure and relocates it to the stand base. By separating the swivel mechanism from the display body mounting area and placing it at the stand base, the display body structure remains simple while the stand provides the rotation capability through its own base design.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand base acts as an intermediary component that enables swivel motion between the display body and the installation surface. Instead of making the display body itself complex, the stand base mediates the rotation function, allowing the display to swivel while keeping the main display structure simple and lightweight.
2Ease of operation
If a conventional swivel structure is disposed in the back of the display body, then rotation is enabled, but the product thickness increases and balance is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The swivel mechanism is extracted from the display body back area and relocated to the stand base. This extraction eliminates the need for protruding structures at the display body, maintaining the thin profile and proper balance of the display while the stand base provides the necessary rotation capability.
3Shape
If a line-type stand is used for elegant appearance, then aesthetics are improved, but there is insufficient space for conventional swivel structures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the swivel function from the vertical dimension (display body thickness) to the horizontal dimension (stand base footprint). The line-type stand maintains its elegant thin profile vertically, while the base provides sufficient horizontal space for the swivel mechanism, effectively using another dimension to resolve the space constraint.
4Stability of the object's composition
If the stand combines at two points for stable support, then stability is improved, but it becomes difficult to apply existing swivel structures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the swivel mechanism with the stand base structure itself, making them an integrated unit. The stand base simultaneously provides both the stable two-point support function and the swivel rotation function, eliminating the need for separate swivel components and simplifying the overall structure.
