本創作係關於一種可升降支撐裝置，用於承載一顯示器，包括一直立柱、一儲能元件及一承載模組。該直立柱包含相互不平行之一第一滑動面及一第二滑動面。該儲能元件抵靠於該第一滑動面與該第二滑動面上，並包含可提供一第一抗力的一第一臂及可提供一第二抗力的一第二臂。該第一臂與該第二臂之間形成一第一夾角，當該儲能元件自一最高位置移動至一最低位置，該第一夾角變小使該第一抗力及該第二抗力至少其中之一增加，而該第一軸上的一有效總抗力實質上維持不變，使該顯示器隨停於一介於一最高位置與一最低位置之間的任一位置。

Display with slide structure

The present invention is related to a display (1,2,3) with slide structure. The display comprises a rear casing (11,21,31), a stand (12,22,32), a fixing unit (13,23,33), a movable unit (14,24,34) and at least one spring (15,25,35). The stand has an arc structure (121,321) disposed beneath. The fixing unit is firmly disposed at the rear casing and contains at least one first holding part (133,233,333) and at least one rail (132,332). The movable unit connects with the stand and contains at least one second holding part (143,243,343); wherein the movable unit is repeatedly movable by means of the rail. The spring is respectively connected to the first holding part and the second holding part with two ends. Whereby, the stand could be repeatedly movable against the rear casing by means of the movable unit and touch a flat surface by distinct sites of the arc structure, so that the display might maximize its inclined angle.

Handheld cradle head with adjustable gravity center

本发明涉及云台的技术领域，公开了可调重心式手持云台，包括电机和用于夹持拍摄设备的夹持装置，所述夹持装置通过连接臂连接至所述电机输出端，所述夹持装置前端面设有两可同步纵向相向移动用于夹持拍摄设备的夹头，所述夹持装置后端面活动设有配重结构，所述夹持装置还包括用于调节所述配重结构相对所述拍摄设备位置的调节装置。本发明中的可调重心式手持云台具有两可同步移动的夹头，能保证夹紧后的拍摄设备位于夹持装置的中心。夹紧后通过调节装置改变配重结构的相对位置，将重心调节至电机的旋转轴上，使获得电机最佳的工作状态，从而延长工作时间，并且能提供稳定的拍摄环境，可较为容易的拍摄出高质量的视频。

A kind of removable SERVER

本发明公开了一种可拆式SERVER，包括上盖、侧墙板、底座和减振组件，所述底座包括底板、横板a、竖板a和竖板b，所述底板顶部两端边缘对称垂直设置有各一个竖板a，且所述竖板a内侧面顶部边缘垂直连接有横板a，所述横板a底部另一端边缘垂直连接有竖板b，所述竖板a外侧面等距离开设有多个螺纹孔c，所述底座顶部两端对称安装有各一个侧墙板，所述侧墙板包括横板b、横板c、竖板c和竖板d，所述横板b顶部两边缘分别垂直设置有竖板c、竖板d，所述竖板c内侧面顶部边缘垂直安装有横板c；本发明，可以方便拆卸组装，节省运输空间，侧墙板与底座为两款钣金件组合，可增加强度，不易变形；有利于减振，还有利于提升减振效果。
