Internal Anti-Detachment Bracket for Electronic Device Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in preventing unauthorized disassembly, as special screws require specific tools, locks can break or lose keys, and external anti-detachment structures increase volume and cost.
Innovation Solution
An internal anti-detachment structure comprising a bracket, elastic member, offset member, and product identification, where the bracket is mounted on the top cover and elastic member on the bottom cover, with the offset member hidden by the product identification, making it difficult to disassemble the device without authorization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If external anti-detachment structure is used, then device security is improved, but device volume and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-detachment structure is nested within the device's internal space by mounting the bracket on the inside of the top cover and the elastic member on the inside of the bottom cover, allowing the security mechanism to be integrated without increasing external dimensions
Solution Approach 2:
The solution transitions from external to internal implementation by placing the anti-detachment mechanism inside the device body, utilizing the internal three-dimensional space between covers rather than adding external protrusions
2Reliability
If external anti-detachment structure is used, then device security is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-detachment structure is nested within the device's internal space by mounting the bracket on the inside of the top cover and the elastic member on the inside of the bottom cover, allowing the security mechanism to be integrated without increasing external dimensions
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member automatically engages with the bracket to prevent detachment without requiring additional actuators, motors, or complex control systems, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost
3Reliability
If special screws are used, then device security is improved, but ease of assembly and maintenance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic member automatically engages with the bracket to prevent detachment without requiring additional actuators, motors, or complex control systems, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost
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
The internal anti-detachment structure effectively conceals the disassembly mechanism, preventing unauthorized access, maintaining a compact design, reducing costs, and enhancing the device's aesthetic appeal while ensuring security against illegal disassembly.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic member (22)... The bracket (21) and the elastic member (22) is received in a space defined by the top cover (10) and the bottom cover (30)

AI summary
An electronic device with anti-detachment structure includes a top cover, a bottom cover defining a sliding slot and a through hole mounted on the bottom cover, a bracket having a block mounted on the top cover, an elastic member mounted between the top cover and the bracket, and an offset member. The block is pushed by the offset member to bring the bracket locked into the sliding slot; when the top cover is separated from the bottom cover, the offset member is separated from the block, and the bracket leaves the sliding slot by an elastic resilience of the elastic member.
