Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing clamping devices for electronic products face challenges in achieving effective clamping and fixing due to variations in product thickness, as they are designed for specific thicknesses and fail to accommodate devices of different sizes.
Innovation Solution
A clamping device with adjustable clamping thickness, featuring movable clamping parts on arms that can adjust height, utilizing guide grooves and elastic components to securely clamp electronic products of varying thicknesses, ensuring a good clamping effect across different sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a clamping device is designed for a specific thickness, then the clamping effect is optimized for that thickness, but it cannot accommodate electronic products of different thicknesses
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping part is designed to be movable along the clamping arm rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the clamping position. The clamping part can slide up and down on the clamping arm to adapt to different product thicknesses, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that maintains adaptability without requiring multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping device is designed with universal applicability through the adjustable clamping part that can accommodate various thicknesses. By making the clamping part movable and repositionable, a single device structure serves multiple functions across different product specifications, eliminating the need for multiple specialized clamping devices.
2Reliability
If the clamping position is fixed, then the structure is simple, but the clamping effect deteriorates when product thickness varies
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping part is designed to be movable along the clamping arm rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the clamping position. The clamping part can slide up and down on the clamping arm to adapt to different product thicknesses, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that maintains adaptability without requiring multiple separate devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the clamping part is made movable to adjust height, then adaptability to different thicknesses is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping part is designed to be movable along the clamping arm rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the clamping position. The clamping part can slide up and down on the clamping arm to adapt to different product thicknesses, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that maintains adaptability without requiring multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
A positioning groove is introduced as an intermediary structure on the clamping arm that guides and constrains the movement of the clamping part. This intermediary element enables smooth adjustment while maintaining structural integrity, reducing the complexity that would otherwise result from unguided movable components.

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device effectively clamps electronic products of different thicknesses by allowing adjustable height settings, ensuring a secure and versatile clamping solution for various electronic products.
Implementation Method 1
a movable elastic top part is arranged in the guide groove... when the elastic top part is latched and positioned in one of the arc grooves, the height of the clamping part on the carrier is temporarily fixed
