Abstract

An adjusting mechanism for a display is disclosed in the present invention. The adjusting mechanism includes a supporter, a bridging component installed on the supporter, a holder for holding the display, a driving component movably disposed on the bridging component, and an actuating component disposed between the driving component and the holder. The driving component moves relative to the bridging component along a first direction to rotate the actuating component, and the actuating component moves the holder relative to the bridging component along a second direction different from the first direction when rotating, so as to adjust a distance between the supporter and the holder.

Claims

1. An adjusting mechanism comprising:

a supporter;

a bridging component installed on the supporter;

a holder for holding a display;

a driving component movably disposed on the bridging component, the driving component moving relative to the bridging component along a first direction; and

an actuating component disposed between the driving component and the holder, the driving component moving along the first direction for rotating the actuating component, and the actuating component moving the holder relative to the bridging component along a second direction different from the first direction when rotating, so as to adjust a distance between the supporter and the holder.

2. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1, wherein a first slot and a second slot are formed on the bridging component, an end of the actuating component connected to the driving component slides along the first slot, and the other end of the actuating component connected to the holder slides along the second slot.

3. The adjusting mechanism of claim 2, wherein a direction of the first slot is parallel to the first direction, a direction of the second slot is parallel to the second direction, and the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction.

4. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the actuating component is a linkage, and the driving component is a screw component.

5. The adjusting mechanism of claim 4, wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a connecting component disposed between the actuating component and the driving component and slidably disposed inside the first slot on the bridging component, and the driving component passes through the bridging component to fix on the connecting component.

6. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the actuating component is a cam, and the driving component is a screw component.

7. The adjusting mechanism of claim 6, wherein the driving component is for rotating the actuating component, so as to move the holder relative to the bridging component.

8. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1, wherein the actuating component is a rod member, and the driving component is a screw component.

9. The adjusting mechanism of claim 8, wherein the driving component presses an end of the actuating component along the first direction, so that the other end of the actuating component presses the holder along the second direction, and the first direction is substantially opposite to the second direction.

10. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1, further comprising:

a resilient component disposed between the holder and the bridging component for providing a resilient recovering force to move the holder along a direction opposite to the second direction.

11. A mounting system comprising:

a display; and

an adjusting mechanism for mounting the display, the adjusting mechanism comprising;

a supporter;

a bridging component installed on the supporter;

a holder, the display being slidably disposed on the holder;

a driving component movably disposed on the bridging component, the driving component moving relative to the bridging component along a first direction; and

an actuating component disposed between the driving component and the holder, the driving component moving along the first direction for rotating the actuating component, and the actuating component moving the holder relative to the bridging component along a second direction different from the first direction when rotating, so as to adjust a distance between the supporter and the display.

12. The mounting system of claim 11, wherein a first slot and a second slot are formed on the bridging component, an end of the actuating component connected to the driving component slides along the first slot, and the other end of the actuating component connected to the holder slides along the second slot.

13. The mounting system of claim 12, wherein a direction of the first slot is parallel to the first direction, a direction of the second slot is parallel to the second direction, and the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction.

14. The mounting system of claim 11, wherein the actuating component is a linkage, and the driving component is a screw component.

15. The mounting system of claim 14, wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a connecting component disposed between the actuating component and the driving component and slidably disposed inside the first slot on the bridging component, and the driving component passes through the bridging component to fix on the connecting component.

16. The mounting system of claim 11, wherein the actuating component is a cam, and the driving component is a screw component.

17. The mounting system of claim 16, wherein the driving component is for rotating the actuating component, so as to move the holder relative to the bridging component.

18. The mounting system of claim 11, wherein the actuating component is a rod member, and the driving component is a screw component.

19. The mounting system of claim 18, wherein the driving component presses an end of the actuating component along the first direction, so that the other end of the actuating component presses the holder along the second direction, and the first direction is substantially opposite to the second direction.

20. The mounting system of claim 11, wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises:

a resilient component disposed between the holder and the bridging component for providing a resilient recovering force to move the holder along a direction opposite to the second direction.
