Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic equipment stands often shield magnetic charging structures on devices like smartphones, compromising charging efficiency, necessitating a solution that allows the stand to be positioned away from the magnetic charging area while providing support.

Innovation Solution

A rotating device with a preset acute angle between its shaft and length direction, allowing the stand to be mounted below the electronic equipment protective case, keeping it clear of the magnetic charging structure and ensuring effective support.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the stand is arranged on the back of electronic equipment opposite to the display area, then the stand can provide support function, but the stand will shield the magnetic charging structure and compromise the magnetic charging effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport functionVSAvoidmagnetic charging effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a rotating device with a shaft that forms a preset acute angle (40°-65°) with the length direction of the rotating device. This angular orientation changes the spatial dimension of the stand's rotation axis, allowing the stand to rotate in a direction that moves it away from the magnetic charging structure located at the center of the device back, thereby resolving the shielding conflict while maintaining support functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the static stand into a dynamic rotating structure that can change its position relative to the magnetic charging structure. The rotating device enables the stand to transition between different angular positions, allowing it to move away from the magnetic charging area when needed while still providing support function, thus dynamically resolving the contradiction between support and charging interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If the stand is detached from the electronic equipment protective case, then the magnetic charging effect can be improved, but the stand cannot continuously provide support function

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic charging effectVSAvoidsupport function
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating device enables the stand to dynamically adjust its position. When the stand needs to provide support, it can be rotated to an appropriate angle; when magnetic charging is needed, the stand can be rotated away from the charging area. This dynamic positioning capability allows the stand to continuously provide support function while not interfering with magnetic charging when required

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The rotating device integrates multiple functions into a single structure: it serves as both the support mechanism and the positioning mechanism. The same rotating structure that provides support also enables the stand to move away from the magnetic charging structure, eliminating the need for separate mechanisms and allowing continuous support functionality without compromising charging effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A rotating device (1) and an electronic equipment accessory are provided. The rotating device (1) comprises a first rotating member (11), a second rotating member (12) and a shaft (13). The first rotating member (11) and the second rotating member (12) are rotatably connected by means of the shaft (13). The first rotating member (11) and the second rotating member (12) extend respectively in a length direction of the rotating device (1), and a preset acute angle is formed between the shaft (13) and the length direction. By means of the preset acute angle of the rotating device, the second rotating member (12) can move upwards when rotating with respect to the first rotating member (11) in a rotation direction. Therefore, the first rotating member and the second rotating member may be respectively connected to support members extending in the length direction to form a stand, and the second rotating member drives the corresponding support member to turn upwards to allow the stand to be mounted between a magnetic charging structure of electronic equipment and a bottom wall of the electronic equipment, such that the stand will not shield the magnetic charging structure, and a good support effect is fulfilled by the preset acute angle (A).
