As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , on the one hand, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a TV base 100 , which includes two supports 101 and can be used for display tables of different lengths, and has better adaptability and convenience.

When the TV base 100 is used for a seat installation, the two supports 101 can be symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the TV host 200 and placed horizontally on the display table respectively, so as to achieve reliable support for the TV host 200, so that the TV host 200 can be installed on the display table through the two supports 101.

As shown in Fig. 3, each support 101 includes a connection structure 1 and a support foot 2, and the connection structure 1 is configured to connect the TV host 200 and the support foot 2. Here, the support foot 2 can rotate around a vertical axis to change the spacing between the support feet 2 of the two supports 101.

When the placement table is long, the support foot 2 can be rotated to the side of the connecting structure 1 away from the other support 101, so that the support foot 2 is relatively far away from the support foot 2 of the other support 101, so that the support feet 2 of the two supports 101 are at a position with a large spacing, for example, forming a normal position relationship as shown in Figure 1, thereby ensuring that the TV base 100 can be matched and placed on a placement table with a larger length dimension; and when the placement table is short, the support foot 2 can be rotated to the side of the connecting structure 1 close to the other support 101, so that the support foot 2 is relatively close to the support foot 2 of the other support 101, so that the support feet 2 of the two supports 101 are at a position with a small spacing, for example, forming a reverse position relationship as shown in Figure 2, thereby ensuring that the TV base 100 can be matched and placed on a placement table with a smaller length dimension, and will not exceed the placement table or only slightly exceed the placement table.

Compared with the related art, the TV base 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure has a supporting foot 2 that can be rotated and adjusted around a vertical axis. The distance between the supporting feet 2 of the two supports 101 can be adaptively adjusted according to the length of the placement table, so that the supporting feet 2 of the two supports 101 can be adjusted to the range of the placement table, will not exceed the placement table or only slightly exceed the placement table, thereby ensuring that the TV base 100 can be reliably placed on the placement table of different lengths; since the TV base 100 has an adjustable placement posture, the TV base 100 can be used for placement tables of different lengths, and has better adaptability and convenience.

The structure of the connection structure 1 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. As shown in Figures 4 to 7, in some embodiments, the connection structure 1 may include an upper end cover assembly 11, a lower end cover assembly 12, and a connection column 13. The upper end cover assembly 11 is configured to be connected to the TV host 200, the lower end cover assembly 12 is fixedly connected to the support foot 2, and one end of the connection column 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end cover assembly 11, and the other end is slidably connected to the lower end cover assembly 12.

Here, the connecting column 13 extends in the vertical direction, and the lower end cover assembly 12 can be slidably engaged with or separated from the upper end cover assembly 11 along the connecting column 13, so that the lower end cover assembly 12 can be slidably engaged with or separated from the upper end cover assembly 11 in the vertical direction. When the upper end cover assembly 11 and the lower end cover assembly 12 are engaged, the upper end cover assembly 11 prevents the lower end cover assembly 12 from rotating relative to each other, and at this time, the supporting foot 2 cannot rotate around the vertical axis; and when the upper end cover assembly 11 and the lower end cover assembly 12 are separated, the upper end cover assembly 11 no longer applies a limiting effect on the lower end cover assembly 12, and at this time, the lower end cover assembly 12 can rotate around the connecting column 13 and correspondingly drive the supporting foot 2 to rotate around the vertical axis.

By the above arrangement, as shown in FIG6, when it is necessary to adjust the placement position of the TV base 100 adaptively according to the length of the placement table, the lower end cover assembly 12 can be slidably separated from the upper end cover assembly 11 along the connecting column 13 by pulling the supporting foot 2 downward, so that the lower end cover assembly 12 can rotate around the connecting column 13, and then the lower end cover assembly 12 drives the supporting foot 2 to rotate around the vertical axis, thereby changing the spacing between the supporting feet 2 of the two supports 101; as shown in FIG7, after being adjusted in place, the lower end cover assembly 12 can be slidably engaged with the upper end cover assembly 11 along the connecting column 13, and the upper end cover assembly 11 is used to prevent the lower end cover assembly 12 from rotating relatively, so that the supporting foot 2 can be reliably maintained in the adjusted position, thereby realizing reliable support for the TV host 200. In this way, the user can conveniently adjust the placement position of the TV base 100, so that the TV base 100 has high convenience of use.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 , in some examples, the connection structure 1 may include a spring 14, which is sleeved on the connection column 13. A flange portion 131 is provided at one end of the connection column 13 away from the upper end cover assembly 11, one end of the spring 14 abuts against the flange portion 131, and the other end abuts against the lower end cover assembly 12, and the spring 14 elastically deforms to keep the upper end cover assembly 11 and the lower end cover assembly 12 engaged. When it is necessary to adaptively adjust the placement position of the TV base 100 according to the length of the placement table, a driving force can be applied to the lower end cover assembly 12, so that the lower end cover assembly 12 can overcome the elastic force of the spring 14 and then slide along the connecting column 13 to separate from the upper end cover assembly 11; after adjustment, the driving force applied to the lower end cover assembly 12 can be removed, the spring 14 is reset to make the lower end cover assembly 12 slide along the connecting column 13 and engage with the upper end cover assembly 11, and then the elastic force of the spring 14 is used to keep the upper end cover assembly 11 and the lower end cover assembly 12 engaged, so that the support foot 2 can be reliably maintained in the adjusted position.

The structure of the upper end cover assembly 11 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some examples, the upper end cover assembly 11 may include a first metal insert 111 and a first injection molded end cover 112 that wraps the first metal insert 111, a connecting column 13 and a first metal The insert 111 is riveted. Here, the first metal insert 111 and the first injection-molded end cap 112 can be made by a metal insert injection molding process; specifically, the first metal insert 111 and the connecting column 13 can be riveted first, and then the first injection-molded end cap 112 can be injection-molded on the surface of the first metal insert 111 to form an insert injection molding structure in which the first injection-molded end cap 112 wraps the first metal insert 111. By setting as above, the first metal insert 111 can be used to partially reinforce the first injection-molded end cap 112, saving the required amount of metal material, thereby reducing the material cost of the upper end cap assembly 11.

For example, a through hole portion may be provided on the upper end cover assembly 11. The through hole portion penetrates the first metal insert 111 and the first injection molded end cover 112, and a threaded fastener, such as a first connecting bolt 3, passes through the through hole portion and is threadedly connected to the TV host 200. By setting as above, the upper end cover assembly 11 and the TV host 200 can be reliably fixed through the threaded connection structure 1.

Exemplarily, the first injection molded end cap 112 may be provided with a connecting boss portion 1121, which is configured to be engaged and positioned with the TV host 200. Here, a connecting recess portion may be provided at the bottom of the TV host 200, and the connecting boss portion 1121 may be embedded in the connecting recess portion, so that the upper end cap assembly 11 and the TV host 200 can be quickly positioned and assembled.

The structure of the lower end cover assembly 12 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. In some examples, the lower end cover assembly 12 may include a second metal insert 121, a second injection molded end cover 122 and a connecting stud 123, the second injection molded end cover 122 wraps the second metal insert 121, and the connecting stud 123 fixedly connects the second metal insert 121 and the supporting foot 2. Here, the second metal insert 121 and the second injection molded end cover 122 can be made by a metal insert injection molding process; specifically, the second metal insert 121 and the connecting stud 123 can be riveted first, and then the second injection molded end cover 122 can be injection molded on the surface of the second metal insert 121 to form an insert injection molding structure in which the second injection molded end cover 122 wraps the second metal insert 121. By setting as above, the second metal insert 121 can be used to partially reinforce the second injection molded end cover 122, saving the required amount of metal material, thereby reducing the material cost of the upper end cover assembly 11.

For example, one end of the connecting stud 123 can be riveted and fixed to the second metal insert 121, and the other end can be provided with a threaded connection hole 1231; the supporting foot 2 is provided with a connecting through hole 211, and the connecting through hole 211 and the threaded connection hole 1231 are correspondingly arranged, and a threaded fastener, such as the second connecting bolt 4, passes through the connecting through hole 211 and is threadedly connected to the threaded connection hole 1231. Through the above arrangement, the lower end cover assembly 12 and the supporting foot 2 can be reliably fixed through the threaded connection structure 1.

The structure of the support foot 2 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. In some embodiments, the support foot 2 may include a connecting support portion 21 and two supporting feet 22, the connecting support portion 21 is connected to the connecting structure 1, and the two supporting feet 22 are arranged at opposite ends of the connecting support portion 21, and the two supporting feet 22 are perpendicular to each other or inclined at an angle. In this way, the two supporting feet 22 can be supported at both ends of the connecting support portion 21 at an angle and contact the placement table respectively, thereby reliably supporting the TV host 200 through the connecting support portion 21 and the connecting structure 1, thereby increasing the reliability and stability of the seat installation method.
