Description

  The present invention relates to an adjustable locking structure of a foldable frame of a monitor. In particular, the combination of members is further improved by further improving the form of blending with the adjustable locking structure for a foldable frame of a thin monitor. The present invention relates to a structure in which coordination is increased and adjustment of an angle during operation of a frame is further smoothed.

  At present, the use of monitors together with computer equipment is increasing day by day, and the biggest advantage of monitors is that they require ultra-thin characteristics such as thin thickness and small volume. However, it was very difficult to set up the monitor on the table with the frame of the thin monitor itself. Therefore, the monitor was attached to the monitor by connecting the frame (base) to the monitor. The main body can be supported and erected, and also has the effect of adjusting the angle. In addition, there is also a design in which the frame can be completely folded and stored on the back of the monitor in order to reduce the volume of the packaging material of the entire monitor and to easily hang it on a vertical surface such as a wall.

  As a conventional fully foldable monitor frame, in the conventional design shown in FIG. 8, a supporting frame B is pivotally mounted by using a base A as a main structure, thereby expanding the L-shape ( A monitor body (not shown) is connected to the support frame B on the back side, and a support frame C is provided between the base A and the support frame B. The frame C is pivotally attached to the base A, and the base C is provided with the sliding member D so as to correspond to the sliding groove B1 of the support frame B. Therefore, the positioning can be adjusted by sliding. Further, since a locking unit is provided at a place where the sliding member D and the sliding groove B1 of the support frame B are connected, it is possible to control whether the sliding member D is relatively slid or fixed. Referring to FIG. 9, the locking unit mainly has a tension member E formed on the inner surface on the back side of the support frame B. The tension member E is provided with a plurality of oblique grooves E1. Is used for penetrating and abutting the plug F, provided with an elastic member G, pulled by the elastic member G, further provided with a traction groove E2, and a sliding member D is provided at the inner end of the inner surface of the support frame B. It extends to the edge and is connected to a fixed piece H that can move sideways. One of the fixed pieces H is formed with a protruding body H1, and the protruding body H1 is extended into and abutted in the traction groove E2, and the fixed piece H The other is formed in a toothed shape, and the other side is provided with another rack gear I so that it can mesh with the toothed side of the fixed piece H. As described above, when the tension member E is pulled upward, the oblique groove E1 slides along the plug F to move in the lateral direction, so that the tension member E synchronizes the fixing piece H with the pulling groove E2. By interlocking to move laterally, the toothed side of the fixed piece H is disengaged from the rack gear I, the sliding member D is formed to slide along the sliding groove B1, and the support frame B is In some cases, it is possible to adjust the angle of the monitor because it can be moved to pivot and swing relative to A.

  In the conventional foldable monitor frame as described above, the design of the locking unit is not perfect, and has the following problems. a) Since the tension member is not located directly in front of the support frame, its left and right distances are different, which is unsuitable for common operation with both left and right hands. b) When the pulling member is pulled upward, it moves sideways at the same time, so that the pulling member may slide away from the point where the user applies the force, which is not suitable for applying the force. c) Since the tension member has a frictional contact effect with respect to the plug and the fixing piece and the fixing piece has a frictional contact action with respect to the inner end edge of the sliding member, the gap generated due to friction loss due to long-time use. After the amount is increased, the original function of the member tends to be lost, and furthermore, there is a problem that the operability is deteriorated because interference is likely to occur in the composition of the member. Therefore, the frame of the conventional foldable monitor as described above must be further improved.

  The present invention has been devised in view of such a problem, and the purpose thereof is that the mixing operation of the members has more coordination and flexibility, and the operation at the time of adjusting the angle of the frame. It is an object of the present invention to provide an adjustment and locking structure for a freely bendable frame of a monitor, which makes the monitor smoother.

In order to achieve the above object, an adjustable locking structure of a foldable frame of a monitor according to the present invention is as follows. That is,
4 is an adjustment and locking structure of a freely bendable frame of a monitor including a link mechanism. The link mechanism is composed of a base, a support frame, and a support frame. The support frame is connected to the sliding member and is pivotally operatively attached to the support frame. The support frame is further provided on the inner surface on the rear side of the support frame by using a tension member. The sliding member extends to the inner edge of the inner surface of the support frame and is firmly in contact with the fixing piece, and a locking member capable of floating toward the front relative to the front of the fixing piece is provided. The teeth are provided on the facing surfaces so as to mesh with each other, and a tension member is provided immediately below the locking member, and a projection is formed on the tension member, and the projection is used to push up the locking member. Further, a return spring is provided at an end of the tension member, and an elastic member is provided on an upper surface of a front surface of the locking member. Then, it can be formed to automatically mesh.

  According to the adjusting and locking structure of the folding frame of the monitor according to the present invention, a storage groove corresponding to the protrusion of the tension member is provided in the locking member, and the storage groove is fitted through the protrusion of the tension member. Can also be used.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to the adjustable locking structure of the foldable frame of the monitor of the present invention, the compounding operation of the members has more coordination and flexibility, and the operation when adjusting the angle of the frame is further smoothed. There is.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the frame adjusting and locking structure of the present invention includes a rectangular (or L-shaped) mechanism that is developed in the same manner as a conventional foldable basic structure. , A supporting frame 2, a supporting frame 3, a sliding member 4, and a pulling member 5. The supporting frame 3 is pivotally attached to the base 1, and is pivotally movably attached to the supporting frame 2, and the sliding member 4 is supported. The frame 3 is operatively pivotally attached to the support frame 2, and the tension member 5 is bored on the inner surface on the back side of the support frame 2. Further, the features to be further improved in the present invention in combination with the above-described structure are as follows (also refer to the assembled state in FIG. 3).

  The sliding member 4 has its inner edge extending into the through-bore 21 of the support frame 2 and is secured to the fixing piece 6 at said inner edge. The fixing piece 6 is housed in a sliding groove 22 on the inner surface of the support frame 2, and the fixing piece 6 is formed of a U-shaped piece. Tooth portions 61 are formed on both sides of the piece, and a front face of the fixing piece 6 is formed. There is provided a locking member 7 that can float in the front direction relative to. The locking member 7 is accommodated in the sliding groove 22 on the inner surface of the support frame 2, and the locking member 7 has a rectangular U-shaped cross-section, and the locking member 7 is fixed corresponding to the teeth 61 of the fixing piece 6. On both sides of the surface facing the piece 6, there are provided teeth 71 for meshing, and the locking member 7 is appropriately provided with a storage groove 72, and just below the locking member 7, a corresponding pull is provided. The member 5 is installed. A protrusion 51 is formed on the surface of the tension member 5, and the protrusion 51 is extended so as to correspond to the storage groove 72 of the locking member 7. 52 is formed, and the portion of the bending hook 52 is extended into the concave groove 23 on the inner surface of the support frame 2, and is further compounded by being brought into contact with the bending hook 52 by the repositioning spring 8 provided in the concave groove 23. A resilient force can be constantly applied to the tension member 5 and a rectangular groove 53 is formed at an edge of the tension member 5, and the rectangular groove 53 is fixed by penetrating a positioning plug 54. Can be. An elastic member 9 is provided on the upper surface of the front surface of the locking member 7, and the pressing of the elastic member 9 causes the locking member 7 to be automatically moved downward by the teeth 71, 61 relative to the fixing piece 6. Can engage with each other. Further, the elastic member 9 is fixed to the concave notches 24 on both sides of the inner surface of the support frame 2 by bolts 91, and as shown in the figure, the elastic member 9 is fixed at an appropriate position in the form of a spring piece, and 7 can be applied, but the elastic member 9 is not limited to the above-described spring piece and position as a possible embodiment, and a member having elastic force is generally displaced by an appropriate structure. An elastic force can be easily applied to the locking member 7, and for example, a compression spring can be provided inside the cover plate to cover and contact the locking member 7 (because there are many related embodiments). It is needless to say that the operation of the elastic member having the same effect belongs to the scope of the present invention.

  As described above, the locking member 7 provided on the front surface of the fixing piece 6 and capable of floating in the front direction, and the tension member 5 installed directly below the locking member, further provide the elastic member 9 on the upper surface of the locking member 7. As a result, the members of the above-described mechanism can have extremely good coordination in relative movement.

  When the present invention is to be used in combination with a monitor, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the support frame 2 is screwed to the back of the monitor, and the base 1 is tilted downward on the tabletop. The base 1 expanded at an appropriate angle is fixed by the support frame 3 positioned so as to abut. In the meantime, the positioning state of the support frame 3 can be achieved by using the sliding member 4 which pivotally engages and the fixed piece 6 of the inner edge and the teeth 61, 71 of the locking member 7 mesh with each other. it can.

  When adjusting the angle of the downward inclination of the base 1 or condensing, as shown in FIG. 6, when the tension member 5 is pulled upward, the tension member moved upward is referred to. 5 is slid out of the storage groove 72 by the protruding body 51, so that the locking member 7 can be moved by pressing the locking member 7, and the locking member 7 is caused to float frontward relative to the fixing piece 6. As a result, the facing tooth portions 71 and 61 are disengaged and the meshing state is released. In this way, the sliding member 4 originally fixing the fixing piece 6 can slide relative to the support frame 2 along the through-bore 21 so that the supporting frame 3 and the base 1 that are pivotally connected can freely move. Since the link mechanism is formed, the angle can be adjusted by operating the base 1, and after the pulling member 5 is released, it can be automatically locked and positioned again. In addition, referring to FIG. 7, the base 1 can be folded toward the support frame 2 to be condensed, and the support frame 3 can be condensed inside the base 1 to condense the frame mechanism. Therefore, by reducing the volume, the packaging becomes convenient and it can be hung on a wall.

  As described above, according to the structure of the conventional foldable monitor frame, the tension member is easily detached, and the fixing piece has a frictional contact effect with the inner edge of the sliding member. The problem is that the original action of the member tends to be lost after the amount of the gap generated due to the friction loss increases due to long-time use, and furthermore, the operation of the member is easily deteriorated because the mixing of the member is easily caused. However, according to the adjustable locking structure of the foldable frame of the monitor of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the compounding operation of each member is formed so as to have more coordination and flexibility. The operation at the time of adjusting the angle of the frame becomes smoother.

  The present invention may be embodied in other ways without departing from its spirit and essential characteristics. Accordingly, the preferred embodiments described herein are illustrative and not limiting.
