Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional stand devices for mobile terminals cannot adjust the angle of the screen, requiring users to adjust their gaze to view the screen clearly, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A stand device with a curved lower side and a slope unit that tilts the mobile terminal in various directions by moving the center of mass, allowing for adjustable angles and stabilization through a weight member and grooves.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed-angle stand device is used, then the structure is simple, but the viewing comfort is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The stand device employs a dynamic tilting mechanism where the mobile terminal can be tilted forward or backward within a predetermined angle range. The curved lower side of the body works with a slope unit that allows the terminal to move between a first tilted position and a second tilted position, transforming a static stand into a dynamic one that adapts to different viewing preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand device is divided into functional segments: a body with a curved lower side, a slope unit with a slope surface, and a mobile terminal. The curved lower side is segmented into different curvature sections that interact with the slope unit to enable controlled tilting motion, allowing independent optimization of each component's function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the stand device allows angle adjustment, then viewing comfort improves, but the structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The lower side of the body is designed with a curved surface having a predetermined radius of curvature. This curvature works in conjunction with the slope unit's inclined surface to create a natural rolling motion that enables angle adjustment. The curved geometry inherently provides the mechanical advantage needed for tilting without requiring complex actuators or mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand device utilizes the weight of the mobile terminal itself and the gravitational force acting on it to achieve tilting. When the terminal is placed on the curved lower side, its own weight causes it to roll to a tilted position. The system uses the terminal's mass and gravity rather than requiring external motors or complex adjustment mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the body has a curved lower side for tilting, then angle adjustment is enabled, but stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The curved lower side is designed with a predetermined radius of curvature that is optimized to provide sufficient tilting capability while maintaining stability. The curvature is not too sharp (which would cause excessive tilting and instability) and not too flat (which would prevent tilting). This partial action approach achieves the right balance between tilting functionality and stable positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The body is pre-formed with a curved lower side during manufacturing, establishing the tilting geometry before use. This preliminary shaping ensures that when the mobile terminal is placed on the stand, the tilting action occurs smoothly and predictably to predetermined positions, rather than requiring real-time adjustments that could compromise stability.
