Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The connection between USB connectors and drives often loosens during operation due to inadequate force, leading to connection failures, which is inconvenient for users.
Innovation Solution
A connector holder with a main body and a moving member, featuring a moving plate with engaging convex points that touches the ground springs of the USB connector to securely fix the connector plug, ensuring a stable connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If two ground springs are used to contact the USB drive, then the connector structure is simple, but the connection force is inadequate causing loose connections during operation
Solution Approach 1:
The connector holder is divided into a main body and a movable member that can move relative to each other. The movable member includes a moving plate with engaging convex points that can independently move to apply additional force to the ground springs, thereby increasing connection force without significantly complicating the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable member is designed to move along a first direction to dynamically adjust the connection force. When the movable member moves, the engaging convex points touch and press the ground springs, providing dynamic force enhancement during operation to prevent loose connections.
2Reliability
If the connector holder uses a movable member to apply additional force, then the connection reliability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The movable member is disposed inside the main body of the connector holder, with the moving plate positioned between the first plate and the ground springs. This nested arrangement allows the additional force application mechanism to be integrated within the existing structure, minimizing overall complexity while improving reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable member is capable of moving relative to the main body to automatically engage with the ground springs when needed. This self-actuating mechanism provides reliable connection force without requiring external control systems, thereby improving reliability while keeping the structure relatively simple.

AI summary
A connector holder and electronic device with the connector holder are disclosed. The connector holder for providing a connection between a connector plug and a connector includes two ground springs. The connector holder includes a main body and a moving member, wherein the main body connects with the connector and includes a first plate. The first plate is disposed on the two ground springs. The moving member is disposed in the main body and moves relative to the main body. The moving member includes a moving plate with two engaging convex points, wherein when the moving member connects with the main body, the moving plate is disposed between the first plate and the two ground springs. When the moving plate moves along a first direction such that the two engaging convex points touch the two ground springs, the connector plug is fixed to the connector.
