FIG. 6 is a side view of the display device ofFIG. 4 disposed on a desktop via a base. - The sliding mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is applied in a display device. The display device includes a casing, a body and a sliding mechanism. In the present embodiment of the invention, the display device preferably has a pair of sliding mechanisms. Referring to both
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 .FIG. 1 is an exploded diagram of a display device having two sliding mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one of the sliding mechanisms ofFIG. 1 . Thedisplay device 100 includes a pair ofsliding mechanisms 10, acasing 20 and abody 30. Thedisplay device 100 is supported by a supporting structure (not illustrated in the diagram). Thecasing 20 preferably has a pair ofstrip openings 21. Thebody 30 is disposed in thecasing 20. Eachsliding mechanism 10 includes asliding track 11, aslider 12, anelastic element 13 and afixing prop 14. Thesliding track 11 is disposed on thebody 30. More specifically, thesliding track 11 is disposed on ashielding 31 of thebody 30. Theslider 12 is movably disposed on thesliding track 11. Theelastic element 13 has awinding portion 13 a and an extendedend 13 b (as indicated inFIG. 2 ). Thewinding portion 13 a is disposed at one end of thesliding track 11, and the extendedend 13 b is connected to theslider 12 and simultaneously movable with theslider 12. Thefixing prop 14 is disposed on theslider 12 and passes through the strip opening 21 to project outside thecasing 20 for connecting theslider 12 with the supporting structure. Then, when the fixingprop 14 and theslider 12 simultaneously slide along the slidingtrack 11, thedisplay device 100 moves relative to the supporting structure for adjusting the height of thedisplay device 100 accordingly. Theelastic element 13 is a constant force spring for example, and theelastic element 13 provides theslider 12 with a constant force whose direction is opposite to that of the gravity of thedisplay device 100. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , an exploded diagram of the sliding mechanism ofFIG. 1 is shown. The slidingmechanism 10 further comprises a slidingelement 15 disposed between the slidingtrack 11 andslider 12 and simultaneous movable with theslider 12. In the slidingmechanism 10, the slidingtrack 11 and theslider 12 are made from a rigid material for providing the slidingmechanism 10 with sufficient strength from being deformed when receiving a force applied by the user. The slidingelement 15 is made from polyoxymethylene (POM) resin for example, with a lower friction coefficient with the slidingtrack 11 for reducing the friction and noise generated when theslider 12 moves relative to the slidingtrack 11, such that theslider 12 moves smoothly and the wearing between the slidingtrack 11 and theslider 12 is reduced. Besides, the surface of theslider 12 and the slidingtrack 11 can be coated with a coating, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating, such that the surface friction is further reduced. Consequently, the wearing between the slidingtrack 11 and theslider 12 can also be reduced. - Besides, the sliding
mechanism 10 further comprises apositioning recess 16 disposed at one end of the slidingtrack 11 for receiving the windingportion 13 a to position theelastic element 13. When theslider 12 and theextended end 13 b simultaneously slide along the slidingtrack 11, the windingportion 13 a rotates within thepositioning recess 16. Thepositioning recess 16 is made from a material such as polyoxymethylene (POM) resin for reducing the friction generated when the windingportion 13 a rotates. Likewise, thepositioning recess 16 also reduces noises and the wearing. - In the present embodiment of the invention, the
display device 100 has a pair of slidingmechanisms 10, and the gravity of thedisplay device 100 is equal to the total constant force provided by twoelastic elements 13. Thus, when thedisplay device 100 is supported by the supporting structure, the height of thedisplay device 100 is firmly fixed, and thedisplay device 100 will not slide downward due to the gravity of thedisplay device 100. As long as a force larger than the static friction between theslider 12 and the slidingtrack 11 is applied, thedisplay device 100 will move relative to the supporting structure. Thus, the user can easily adjust the height of thedisplay device 100; in other words, the adjustment of the height of thedisplay device 100 is more laborsaving. - Referring to both
FIG. 1 andFIG. 4 .FIG. 4 is a 3-D side view of a display device having two slidingmechanisms 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The slidingmechanisms 10 are disposed on the shielding 31 of thebody 30 in parallel, and thestrip openings 21 situate on thecasing 20 in parallel. There is an interval d existing between two neighboring slidingmechanisms 10 and two neighboring strip openings 21 (as indicated inFIG. 4 ). Therefore, no matter before or after adjusting the height, the right-side height and the left-side height of thedisplay device 100 maintain the same level, that is, thedisplay device 100 remains in a horizontal state. - In the present embodiment of the invention, the display device is supported by a supporting structure such as a hanging stand or a base. The display device can be hung onto a wall via a hanging stand or placed on a desktop via a base. Referring to
FIG. 5 , a side view of the display device ofFIG. 4 hung onto a wall via a hanging stand is shown. The hangingstand 40 has acoupling portion 41 corresponding to the fixingprop 14. Thecoupling portion 41 is connected to the fixingprop 14 for hanging thedisplay device 100 onto thewall 50. Thedisplay device 100, equipped with the slidingmechanism 10 and supported by the hangingstand 40, is capable of moving relative to the hangingstand 40 along the Y direction parallel to the wall, thereby adjusting the height of thedisplay device 100. Referring toFIG. 6 , a side view of the display device ofFIG. 4 disposed on a desktop via a base is shown. Thebase 60 has a connectingportion 61. The connectingportion 61 is correspondingly connected to the fixingprop 14 for placing thedisplay device 100 on thedesktop 70. In this case, thedisplay device 100, which is slided through the slidingmechanism 10 and supported by thebase 60, is movable relative to thebase 60 along the Y1 direction perpendicular to thedesktop 70 for adjusting the height of thedisplay device 100. - According to the sliding mechanism and the display device using the same disclosed in the above embodiment, a sliding track of each sliding mechanism is disposed on a body of the display device, and a slider of each sliding mechanism is connected to a supporting structure via a fixing prop, such that when the slider moves relative to the sliding track, the display device moves with respect to two supporting structures. The advantage is that the display device itself has the function of adjusting the height, and no matter the display device is placed on a desktop or hung onto a wall, the user still can adjust the height of the display device to fit actual needs. Besides, the sliding element disposed between the slider and the sliding track reduces the friction between the slider and the sliding track, hence reducing the noises generated when the slider and an extended end of the elastic element simultaneously slide along the sliding track and reducing the wearing of materials. Next, as a winding portion of the flexible element is received within a positioning recess, the winding portion can rotate smoothly. Moreover, as the sliding mechanisms are disposed in parallel and separated at an interval, the display device can maintain horizontal level and keep the same height at both the left-hand side and the right-hand side before and after the adjustment of height. Furthermore, with a constant force whose direction is opposite to the gravity of the display device, the height of the display device is fixed, and the user can easily adjust the height of the display device.
- While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
