Protective Case with Sliding Activated Carbon Screen Cleaner
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing protective cases for electronic devices do not effectively clear and clean the display screens, particularly touch screens, which can accumulate smudges and dirt, compromising visibility and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A protective case design incorporating a clear component with sliders and a mounting mechanism that allows the clear component to slide over the display screen, utilizing activated carbon foam with a cleaning solvent to effectively clean the screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a protective case is added to protect the electronic device, then the device is protected from scratches, but the display screen accumulates smudges and dirt more easily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the protective case function with a screen cleaning function by integrating a cleaning component into the case structure. The cleaning component includes a cleaning surface with cleaning material that can be applied to the display screen when the case is assembled, allowing simultaneous protection and cleaning capabilities in a single device.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective case is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides physical protection for the electronic device while also incorporating a screen cleaning mechanism. The cleaning component can be activated by sliding or pressing actions, enabling the case to both protect the device and maintain screen cleanliness without requiring separate cleaning tools.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a cleaning mechanism is added to the protective case, then the screen can be cleaned effectively, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cleaning component is designed as a separate, modular element within the protective case structure. It includes a cleaning surface with cleaning material that can be independently positioned and activated, allowing the cleaning function to be integrated without requiring complete redesign of the entire case structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The cleaning mechanism is designed to be activated by user interaction with the case itself (sliding or pressing the case), eliminating the need for separate cleaning tools or complex automated mechanisms. The case structure provides its own cleaning capability through simple mechanical action.

AI summary
A protective case with a function of clearing and cleaning a display screen of an electronic device includes a case body, a clear component, and a mounting component. The case body defines a receiving space in which the electronic device is held and an opening at one end of the case body. Two opposite slide grooves are provided in the case body. The clear component on the mounting component can be pushed from an end of the case body along the display screen of the electronic device, to clear and clean it.
