Adjustable-Center-of-Gravity Bracket for Stable Portable Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device brackets are cumbersome to carry due to large support surfaces and lack an adjustable center of gravity, leading to discomfort during extended use and limited adaptability for various object placements.
Innovation Solution
A bracket with an adjustable center of gravity featuring a support body and a strut, equipped with movable adjustable plates or columns that shift the center of gravity by sliding and rotating, allowing for increased support surface area and adaptable object placement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a large-area support plate is used to ensure stability for heavy electronic products, then the stability is improved, but the portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support body is divided into a base portion and an adjustable support portion that can be separated or adjusted relative to each other. The adjustable support portion can be folded or extended, allowing the bracket to provide large support area when needed while maintaining compact form for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket incorporates adjustable components that can change position and configuration dynamically. The adjustable support portion can be extended to increase support area for stability or folded back to reduce size for carrying, transforming the structure from static to dynamic to resolve the contradiction between stability and portability.
2Strength
If the support surface is increased to accommodate heavier objects, then the load-bearing capacity is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support surface is segmented into a fixed base portion and an adjustable support portion. This segmentation allows the load-bearing capacity to be increased by extending the support portion without requiring the entire structure to be complex, as only the adjustable portion needs the extension mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable support portion serves multiple functions: it can be extended to increase load-bearing capacity for heavy objects, folded to reduce size for light objects, and positioned at different angles for various viewing requirements. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate structures.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the bracket structure is made rigid to ensure stability, then the stability is improved, but the adaptability for different object placements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket transitions from a completely rigid structure to a dynamic structure with adjustable components. The adjustable support portion can be positioned at different angles and extended to different lengths, providing adaptability for various object placements while maintaining stability when locked into position.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the bracket have different properties: the base portion maintains rigidity for stability, while the support portion incorporates adjustability for adaptability. This local differentiation of qualities allows the overall structure to achieve both stability and adaptability simultaneously.
