Description

Magnetic support structure

This creation is about a magnetic support structure, especially a magnetic support structure for magnetically attracting a display to a support frame.

In general usage scenarios, the monitor usually needs to be fixed on a bracket so that it can be stably placed on the wall or work surface for users to use. In different application scenarios and environments, the user's setting requirements for the monitor also vary. Different, for example, some brackets have the function of adjusting the tilt angle of the monitor. In the current support frame structure for adjusting the tilt angle of the display, the display is usually connected with the support frame by a pivot structure, so that the user can manually or electrically adjust the tilt angle of the display.
