Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge is to enlarge the decorative member of an electronic device to accommodate more functional devices while maintaining a proper layout and battery capacity.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device design includes a battery cover with a hole, a battery module, a decorative member with through holes, and functional devices arranged to overlap orthographic projections, allowing for increased space utilization without affecting battery capacity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the decorative member is enlarged to accommodate more functional devices, then the functionality and appearance of the electronic device are improved, but the internal space for the battery and main board is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidinternal space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the thickness direction (Z-axis) of the battery cover to arrange functional devices. By projecting the battery protection circuit board, decorative member, and functional devices along the thickness direction to form overlapping orthographic projections, the design transforms a two-dimensional layout problem into a three-dimensional space utilization solution, effectively increasing functionality without reducing internal space.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If more functional devices are arranged in the region corresponding to the main board, then the functionality is improved, but the density of functional devices increases and layout becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidlayout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent distributes functional devices across two different regions: one region corresponding to the main board and another region corresponding to the battery protection circuit board. By utilizing the thickness direction to create overlapping projections, the design spreads functional devices across multiple spatial dimensions, reducing density in any single region and simplifying the overall layout while maintaining enhanced functionality.

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