Weighted Base and Wheel Structure for Adjustable Display Mounts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices lack the ability to freely adjust the angle or position of the display panel, limiting their flexibility and stability, especially when used in various motion configurations such as pivot, tilt, and swivel motions independently.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a head with a display panel, an arm, a pole, and a base that includes a weight and wheel system, allowing for independent pivot, tilt, and elevating motions, while improving standing and driving stability through a structured base and wheel assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display device uses a fixed mounting structure, then manufacturing and installation are simple, but the display panel cannot be freely adjusted in angle or position
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is divided into multiple independent segments: a base, a pole, an arm, and a head assembly. Each segment can move independently relative to the others, enabling multiple degrees of freedom (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevating motions) while keeping each individual component relatively simple in design.
Solution Approach 2:
The structure transitions from a static fixed mounting to a dynamic adjustable mounting system. The head assembly is designed with multiple joints and connection points that allow it to assume various positions and orientations, adapting to different viewing angles and spatial requirements while maintaining structural integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a display device allows multiple independent motions (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevating), then positioning flexibility is improved, but structural complexity and difficulty of control increase
Solution Approach 1:
Each degree of freedom (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevating) is implemented as a separate mechanical joint or connection point between segments. This segmentation allows each motion to be controlled independently through simple rotational or translational movements at specific joints, rather than requiring a complex integrated mechanism for all motions simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The arm and head assembly serve multiple functions: they provide structural support, enable multiple types of motion (pivot, tilt, swivel, elevating), and allow positioning in three-dimensional space. This multi-functionality is achieved through a unified mechanical design that integrates several degrees of freedom into a single coherent structure rather than requiring separate mechanisms for each function.
3Weight of moving object
If a display device uses a lightweight base, then ease of movement is improved, but standing stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The base incorporates a weight component that acts as a counterweight to stabilize the entire display device. This weight is strategically positioned in the base to lower the center of gravity and provide rotational stability, preventing the device from tipping over during use while the overall structure remains manageable in size and proportion.
