Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0033453 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Apr. 13, 2006, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to a display extension unit, and in particular, to a display extension unit which enables the flat panel display to rotate in a desired angle.

2. Description of the Related Art

Due to the benefit of allowing efficient use of spaces, flat panel displays such as LCD, PDP, LED applied in TV's and monitors are replacing CRT TV and monitors, and the demand for these displays are expected to steadily increase. Flat panel LCD or PDP TV's, in particular, are typically mounted on a wall, and are hence also known as “wall-mount TV's.” When using a wall mount TV, the largest viewing angle may be achieved just in front of the TV. Adequate viewing may not be achieved from a different position, when the TV is mounted on a wall in a fixed orientation.

It is difficult to modify the TV's position with the conventional wall-mount TV, because there is little or no distance between the TV and the wall. Also, it is not possible to rotate the TV to a desired direction even when a sufficient distance is provided by means of additional members.

In addition, solving such problems by applying an apparatus to maintain a fixed distance may result in another problem, i.e. degrading the elegant appearance and the efficiency in utilizing an indoor space.

SUMMARY

Certain aspects of the present invention aim to provide a display extension unit which enables the largest viewing angle for different positions, to maintain the efficiency of the wall-mount TV in utilizing an indoor space.

In addition, one aspect of the present invention provides a display extension unit having a safety unit that prevents excessive loads on the motor not only when operated automatically but also when operated manually.

One aspect of the present invention provides a display extension unit that includes a fixed body, a link portion having one end coupled to the fixed body, a movable body coupled to the other end of the link portion, and a driving part coupled to the joining point of the link portion, where the driving part includes a motor unit, and a rotary part coupled to the driving shaft of the motor unit, with the rotary part including a clutch coupled to the driving shaft, and a driven shaft positioned in contact with the clutch, and where the driving force of the motor unit is smaller than the frictional force between the driven shaft and the clutch.

The frictional force between the driven shaft and the clutch may be smaller than the cogging torque of the motor unit. The display extension unit may further include one or more washers interposed between the clutch and driven shaft.

The link portion may include a first hinge member coupled to the fixed body, a second hinge member coupled to the movable body, a first link element having one end rotatably coupled to the first hinge member, and a second link element having one end rotatably coupled to the second hinge member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the display extension unit according to the invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, those components are rendered the same reference number that are the same or are in correspondence, regardless of the figure number, and redundant explanations are omitted.

FIG. 1a is an illustration of a display extension unit based on the first disclosed embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1b is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the intersection portion in FIG. 1a. FIG. 1c is an illustration of a display extension unit in operation based on the first disclosed embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1a-c, there are shown a link portion 10, fixed body 11, movable body 12, first hinge member 13a, second hinge member 13b, first guide member 14a, second guide member 14b, first link member 15a, second link member 15b, intersection portion 16, universal joint 17, display 18, driving part 19, motor unit 19a, and rotary part 19b.

While the fixed body 11, for supporting the link portion 10 and the movable body 12, is shown in an arbitrary form in the following drawings and descriptions, it shall be understood as including such forms of media as anchor bolts, brackets, and angles that can be used for coupling between the link portion 10 and a wall, etc. The fixed body 11 must be strong enough to sustain the total weight of the link portion 10, the movable body 12, and the display 18.

The link portion 10 includes a first hinge member 13a, second hinge member 13b, first guide member 14a, second guide member 14b, first link member 15a, second link member 15b and intersection portion 16.

The first hinge member 13a is coupled to the fixed body 11 and hinge-joined to the one end of the first link member 15a. The first guide member 14a is coupled to the fixed body 11 at a point separated from the first hinge member 13a. A hole in the first guide member 14a enables the joined one end of the second link member 15b to move in a straight line.

The second link member 15b is hinge-joined with the first link member 15a also at the intersection portion 16. The intersection portion 16 is the center portion of the first link member 15a and the second link member 15b. The driving part 19 coupled to the intersection potion 16 enables the first and the second link members 15a, 15b to rotate.

Meanwhile, the other end of the first link member 15a moves in a straight line, being joined to the hole of the second guide member 14b, and the other end of the second link member 15b is hinge-joined to the movable body 12.

This second guide member 14b may be formed as a single body with the movable body 12 as in FIG. 1a and also may be joined as a separate body. The universal joint 17 is coupled to the movable body 12, whereby the display 18 joined to the universal joint 17 may move freely.

FIG. 1b is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the intersection portion 16 in FIG. 1a. At the intersection portion 16, the rotary part 19b of the driving part 19 is coupled to the first link member 15a, and the motor unit 19a of the driving part 19 is coupled to the second link member 15b. Thus, the rotation of the rotary part 19b causes the first link member 15a and second link member 15 to rotate about the intersection portion 16, and in consequence the movable body 12 coupled to the link portion 10 draws closer to or further away from the fixed body 11 as in FIG. 1c. The motor unit 19a may be coupled to the first link member 15a, and the rotary part 19b may be coupled to the second link member 15b.

FIG. 2a is a plan view of a display extension unit based on a second disclosed embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2b is an illustration of a display extension unit in operation based on the second disclosed embodiment of the present invention. As the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in the position of the driving part 29, the functions of the other components are similar in both embodiments, and the following description will be focused on the differences.

In this embodiment, the driving part 29 includes a motor unit 29a and an expansion part 29c coupled to the driving shaft 29b of the motor unit 29a which can be contracted in a longitudinal direction as the driving shaft 29b rotates. As illustrated in the drawing, the motor unit 29 coupled to first guide member 24a is coupled to one end of second link member 25b. As the driving shaft 29b rotates, the expansion and contraction of the expansion part 29c result in the displacement of the link portion 20 by displacing one end of the second link member 25b in a line. The motor unit 29 may be coupled to second guide member 24b. FIG. 2b illustrates an extended link portion 20 based on this embodiment

FIG. 3a is a plan view of a display extension unit based on third disclosed embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3b is an illustration of a display extension unit in operation based on the third disclosed embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 3a to 3b, there are shown a link portion 30, fixed body 31, movable body 32, first hinge part 34a, second hinge part 34b, third hinge part 34c, fourth hinge part 34d, first link member 35a, second link member 35b, universal joint 37, display 38, and driving part 39.

In the third embodiment, one end and the other end of the first link member 35a and the second link member 35b are respectively hinge-joined to the movable body 32 and the fixed body 31. As they rotate about the hinge parts 34a-d, the movable body 32 swings in an arbitrary angle.

Meanwhile, the driving part 39 may be coupled to one of the four hinge parts 34a-34d. The driving part 39 includes a motor unit 19a and a rotary part 19b as illustrated in FIG. 1b, and the first link member 35a and second link member 35b move freely simultaneously by the rotational force of the rotary part 19b. While in this embodiment the driving part 39 is coupled to the first hinge member 34a, it may also be coupled to one of the other three hinge members 34b-34d.

FIG. 3b illustrates the first and second link members 35a, 35b extended by a swinging action. The functions of the other components in this embodiment are similar to those described in the first embodiment.

FIG. 4a is a plan view of a display extension unit based on the fourth disclosed embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4b is an illustration of a display extension unit in operation based on the fourth disclosed embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 4a to 4b, there are shown a link portion 40, fixed body 41, movable body 42, first hinge member 43a, second hinge member 43b, first link member 45a, second link member 45b, third link member 45c, fourth link member 45d, fifth link member 45e, sixth link member 45f, universal joint 47, display 48, driving part 49, motor unit 49a, and worm gear member 49c.

In this embodiment, the first and second hinge members 43a, 43b are coupled to the fixed body 41 with a constant amount of separation. The first link member 45a and second link member 45b each have one end hinge-joined to the first and second hinge members 43a, 43b, respectively, whereby rotation is enabled. In addition, There is hinge-joining between the other end of the first and second link members 45a, 45b and one end of the third and fourth link members 45c, 45d, respectively, between the other end of the third and fourth link member 45c, 45d and one end of the fifth and sixth link members 45e, 45f, respectively, and between the other end of the fifth and sixth link members 45e, 45f and the movable body 42.

In this embodiment, the driving part 49 includes a motor unit 49a, rotary part (not shown in drawing) and worm gear member 49c, where the motor unit 49a is fixed to the fourth link member 45d, and the worm gear member 49c is screw-joined through the third link member 45c as a threaded pipe. In accordance with the rotation direction of the worm gear member 49c powered by the rotary part (not shown in drawing), the third link member 45c and the fourth link member 45d draw closer together or further apart. Consequently, the link portion 40 is extended or contracted. FIG. 4b illustrates the link portion 40 being extended as the third link member 45c and fourth link member 45d draw closer. In addition, the same function may be achieved with the motor unit 49a fixed to the third link member 45c and the worm gear member 49c coupled to the fourth link member 45d. The functions of other components in this embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment, and will not be described in further detail herein.

Although six link members are utilized in this embodiment, alternate configurations may be used, such as with four link members hinge joined in a lozenge shape, and with a driving part 49 and a worm gear member 49c as in FIG. 4a.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of a display extension unit based on the fifth disclosed embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, there are shown a link portion 50, fixed body 51, movable body 52, first hinge member 54a, second hinge member 54b, third hinge member 54c, fourth hinge member 54d, fifth hinge member 54e, sixth hinge member 54f, first link member 55a, second link member 55b, third link member 55c, fourth link member 55d, universal joint 57, idle gear 59c, and display extension unit 500.

The display extension unit uses two pairs of link members in this embodiment. One end of each of the first link member 55a and the second link member 55b is hinge-joined to the first and second hinge members 54a, 54b, respectively, to enable rotation about the central axis in an arbitrary angle. The first and second hinge members 54a, 54b are coupled to the fixed body 51. The other end of each of the first link member 55a and second link member 55b, one end of each of the third link member 55c and fourth link member 55d, the other end of each of the third link member 55c and fourth link member 55d, and the movable body 52 are coupled to the correspondent hinge member 54c-f, respectively.

While the link members can be driven by the driving part 59 coupled to one of the hinge members 54a-f, in this embodiment, the link portion 50 is driven by positioning an even number of idle gears 59c between the first gear 541a and second gear 541b formed on the first hinge member 54a and second hinge member 54b, respectively, and coupling the driving part (not shown in drawing) to any one of the first gear 541a, the second gear 541b, and the even number of idle gears 59c.

The even number of idle gears 59c operate the link members smoothly by alternating the rotation direction of the first gear 541a and the second gear 541b and prevent excessively high loads in one link member by driving the first and second link members 55a, 55b with the same force.

In this embodiment, the first gear 541a and second gear 541b are coupled to the first hinge member 54a and second hinge member 54b, and the even number of idle gears 59c and the driving part 59 are coupled between them. However, they may also be coupled to the fifth hinge member 54e and sixth hinge member 54f in the same manner. Meanwhile, if the first gear 541a is engaged with the second gear 541b directly, the link members may be driven without an idle gear 59c.

The functions of other components in this embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment and will not be described in further detail herein.

The embodiment described above is for the automatic extension of the display. Here, the term “Automatic” means that the display extension unit is driven by a motor that responds to an external order signal. However, the extension may also be achieved manually, where the rotation by external forces may cause the rotor of a motor to be damaged. The structure of the driving part to prevent this damage, particularly that of the rotary part, will be described below in more detail.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a rotary part of a driving part based on the sixth disclosed embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, there are shown a rotary part 60, driving shaft 61, clutch part 61a, and driven shaft 62.

The illustrated rotary part of the driving part may be applied to any of the first through fifth embodiments. The driving shaft 61 in FIG. 6, joined to the motor unit 19a of the driving part 10 of FIG. 1b, serves as the rotational axis of the motor. The driving shaft 61 is coupled to the driven shaft 62 at the clutch part 61a. The clutch part 61a, which controls the frictional force, may be a single body as the driving shaft 61, as illustrated in FIG. 6. In addition, it may be coupled to the driven shaft 62. A washer 61b between the clutch part 61a and the driven shaft 62 keeps the frictional force constant.

The operation of the rotary part 60 may be described as follows: the driving forces of the motor for the link portion in the first through fifth embodiments are smaller than the frictional force of clutch part 61b, so that there is no slipping between the clutch part 61a and the driven shaft 62. However, in the case where external forces forcibly moves the link portion in the first through fifth embodiments to rotate the driven shaft 62, slipping does occur, because the frictional force of the clutch part 61a is smaller than the cogging torque of the motor. Consequently, the possibility of forced rotation by external forces is deceased.

FIG. 7a is a plan view of a display extension unit based on the seventh disclosed embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7b is a cross-sectional view of a pipe of a display extension unit based on the seventh disclosed embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7c is a cross-sectional view across the dashed section A in FIG. 7b. Referring to FIGS. 7a-c, there are shown a link portion 70, first link arm 700a, second link arm 700b, fixed body 71, movable body 72, first hinge member 73a, second hinge member 73b, first link member 75a, second link member 75b, third link member 75c, fourth link member 75d, fifth link member 75e, sixth link member 75f, screw thread 76a, first stopping projection 76c, second stopping projection 76d, third stopping projection 76e, universal joint 77, display 78, driving part 79, motor unit 79a, driving shaft 79b, fixing shaft 79c, and pipe 79d.

The main parts of the link portion 70 in the present embodiment are the first link arm 700a and the second link arm 700b. The first link arm 700a includes a first hinge member 73a, first link member 75a, third link member 75c, and fifth link member 75e. Second link arm 700b includes second hinge member 73b, second link member 75b, fourth link member 75d and sixth link member 75f.

One end and the other end of each of the first link arm 700a and the second link arm 700b are respectively coupled to the fixed body 71 and the movable body 72. There are a number of joining points where the link members meet, so that jointing actions are enabled. The joining between the first link arm 700a and second link arm 700b is described in detail as follows.

One end of each of the first link member 75a and the second link member 75b is hinge-joined respectively to the first and second hinge members 73a, 73b, to enable rotation in an arbitrary angle. In addition, there is hinge-joining between the other end of each of the first and second link members 75a, 75b and one end of each of the third and fourth link members 75c, 75d, between the other end of each of the third and fourth link members 75c, 75d and one end of each of the fifth and sixth link members 75e, 75f, and between the other end of each of the fifth and sixth link members 75e, 75f and the movable body 72.

Meanwhile, the driving part 79 in the present embodiment includes a motor unit 79a, driving shaft 79b, fixing shaft 79c, and pipe 79d. The motor unit 79a is fixed to the fourth link member 75d. The driving shaft 79b rotates with one end coupled to the motor unit 79a. In addition, the other end of the driving shaft 79b is inserted to one side of the penetration hole 79e in the pipe 79d. One end of the fixing shaft 79c is fixed to the third link member 75c and the other end is inserted to the other side of the penetration hole 79e. As illustrated in FIG. 7b, the joining between the pipe 79d and the driving shaft 79b and the joining between the pipe 79d and the fixing shaft 79c may be screw-joining or guide-joining. That is, in the case where the pipe 79d and the driving shaft 79b are guide-joined, the pipe 79d and the fixing shaft 79c are screw-joined correspondingly.

As illustrated in FIG. 7c, the guide-joining is a configuration that enables the driving shaft 79b to slide in the longitudinal direction of the driving shaft 79b into the pipe 79d. However, guide projections 76b are formed in the pipe 79d to allow the pipe 79d to rotate together with the driving shaft 79b. Due to the slide joining between the pipe 79d and the driving shaft 79b, when the link portion 70 is moved manually, the difference in length between the extended and contracted states of the link portion 70 is cancelled by the sliding of the driving shaft 79b in the penetration hole 79e of the pipe 79d.

Meanwhile, the pipe 79d and the fixing shaft 79c are screw-joined. The operation of the fixing shaft 79c joined to the pipe 79d, and the driving shaft 79b is as follows. When the driving shaft 79b is rotated to extend the link portion 70, the pipe 79d and the driving shaft 79b rotate together. Then, the distance between the pipe 79d and the fixing shaft 79c is made longer as the screw-joining is unfastened. It may be preferable to form a stopping projection 76c to prevent the driving shaft 79b from sliding out of the penetration hole 79e of the pipe 79d.

On the other hand, a second stopping projection 76d in the penetration hole 79e and a third stopping projection 76e in the driving shaft 79b prevent the driving shaft 79b from becoming separated from the penetration hole 79e when the fixing shaft 79c enters the penetration hole 79e of the pipe 79d as the screw-joining is fastened by the rotation of the driving shaft 79b.

While six link members are utilized in this embodiment, alternative configurations may also be used, such as with four link members hinge joined in a lozenge shape, and with the driving part 79 between the link members, as in FIG. 7a.

According to the present invention set forth as above, rotation of the display is enabled, to separate the display from a fixed body. The separating and rotating actions can be performed automatically or manually. The durability may be increased by avoiding excessive loads on the motor even when operated manually.
