Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the electronic device is miniaturized to meet user needs, then the device size is reduced, but the space for accommodating components with varied shapes is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into multiple functional surfaces: a supporting surface for planar component support, a receiving surface with gradient for angled component reception, and seating grooves for precise positioning. This segmentation allows the bracket to accommodate components with varied shapes and orientations within a compact volume, resolving the contradiction between miniaturization and component accommodation space.
2Adaptability or versatility
If components with varied shapes are accommodated in the bracket, then the device functionality is enhanced, but the bracket structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed as a multi-functional structure that can accommodate components with varied shapes and orientations. The supporting surface handles planar components, the receiving surface with gradient handles angled components, and the seating grooves provide precise positioning. This universal design allows a single bracket to serve multiple component accommodation functions without requiring multiple separate structures, thus enhancing adaptability while controlling complexity.
3Reliability
If components are securely seated and protected in the bracket, then the device reliability is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The seating grooves are pre-formed in the bracket during manufacturing, creating predetermined positioning features that guide component placement. This preliminary action ensures that components are securely seated and protected while maintaining manufacturing feasibility, as the grooves provide built-in alignment and positioning features that reduce assembly complexity and ensure consistent positioning accuracy.

AI summary
An electronic device may include a bracket and an electronic component, where the bracket may include: a support surface which directly or indirectly supports a part of the electronic component and is substantially parallel to a surface of the electronic component; receiving surfaces connected to the support surface; and mounting recesses, at least a portion of each of which is arranged between a receiving surface and the support surface, and extending in a direction that is inclined with respect to the direction in which the surface of the electronic component faces, wherein the other part of the electronic component is accommodated in at least a part of the mounting recesses, and the direction in which a virtual surface that contacts one location of the receiving surfaces faces is inclined with respect to the direction in which the support surface faces.
