Adjustable Carrying Assembly for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing carrying assemblies for electronic devices, such as shoulder strap-type and handle-type designs, are inconvenient to adjust in length when the device is being carried, limiting user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A detachable carrying assembly with a positioning member and elastic member that allows for adjustable engagement with the electronic device's housing, enabling easy length adjustment of the belt or strap through a mechanism involving tooth structures and elastic potential release.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an adjustable shoulder strap or handle is provided in existing carrying assemblies, then the carrying length can be adjusted to suit different users, but it becomes inconvenient to adjust the carrying length when the electronic device is being carried
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning member is designed to be movable relative to the body along the longitudinal axis, transitioning between engaged and disengaged states. This dynamic capability allows the carrying length to be adjusted while the device is being carried, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member automatically engages the positioning member with the body when released, eliminating the need for manual fastening operations. This self-service mechanism simplifies the adjustment process and maintains convenience during carrying operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a positioning member with tooth structures is used to enable length adjustment, then the carrying length can be modified, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning member is segmented into distinct components: the member itself, the tooth structures for engagement, and the elastic member for actuation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member acts as an intermediary between the user's adjustment action and the positioning member's engagement with the body. This intermediary component simplifies the overall mechanism by providing automatic engagement without requiring complex control systems.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient and easy adjustment of the carrying assembly's length, enhancing user experience by allowing the belt or strap to be set to a suitable length without requiring manual adjustment while carrying the device.
Implementation Method 1
When the top portion is pressed, the second positioning portion is separated from the first positioning portion and thus the elastic member deforms and stores an elastic potential. When the top portion is released, the elastic member releases the elastic potential such that the second positioning portion is engaged with the first positioning portion.

AI summary
A carrying assembly which may be detachably secured to a housing of an electronic device is disclosed. The carrying assembly includes a body and a positioning member. The body includes an opening and a first positioning portion positioned on a first surface of the body. The positioning member includes a second positioning portion and a top portion connected thereto. The second positioning portion detachably engages with the first positioning portion. The top portion protrudes from a second surface of the body through the opening, the second surface being opposite the first surface. When the top portion is pressed, the second positioning portion is separated from the first positioning portion, and a relative position between the body and the positioning member may be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the belt.
