Portable Electronic Device Corner Through-Slot Assembly for Strap Replacement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable electronic devices face challenges in securely holding straps due to fixed mounting structures, which complicate maintenance and replacement, leading to inconvenience in manufacturing and installation.
Innovation Solution
A through slot design is implemented at the corners of the device, formed by outer and inner through holes, allowing the strap body to be disposed through these slots, eliminating the need for additional mounting structures and enabling easy maintenance and replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mounting structures are fixed on the portable electronic devices, then the straps can be securely held, but the convenience of maintenance and replacement of straps deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into a main body and a separately removable inner body. The inner body contains the through hole for strap passage and can be independently removed from the main body, allowing strap maintenance without affecting the main device structure. This segmentation enables the strap system to be serviced separately while maintaining secure attachment when assembled.
2Reliability
If mounting structures are fixed on the portable electronic devices, then the straps can be securely held, but the device complexity increases due to additional mounting structures
Solution Approach 1:
The strap mounting function is merged into the inner body structure itself. The through hole in the inner body serves as the strap passage, eliminating the need for separate mounting structures like strap rings or brackets. This integration reduces overall device complexity while maintaining secure strap attachment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The inner body serves multiple functions: it provides structural support at the corner, creates the through slot for strap passage, and acts as a removable module for maintenance. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for dedicated mounting structures, reducing device complexity while ensuring secure strap holding.
3Reliability
If mounting structures are fixed on the portable electronic devices, then the straps can be securely held, but the manufacturing convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the device into main body and inner body components, manufacturing can be optimized. The inner body with its through hole can be manufactured separately and precisely, then assembled to the main body. This segmentation allows for specialized manufacturing processes for each component and simplifies quality control and assembly.

AI summary
A portable electronic device configured for a strap body to be disposed. The portable electronic device includes a main body and at least one inner body. At least one corner of the main body includes two outer portions. An accommodation space is formed between the two outer portions. Each of the two outer portions has an outer through hole. The at least one inner body is disposed in the accommodation space, and is located between the two outer portions. The at least one inner body has an inner through hole. The two outer through holes and the inner through hole are connected to one another to form a through slot. The through slot is configured for the strap body to be disposed therethrough.
