Portable Electronic Device Auxiliary Assembly Grip
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional portable electronic devices are difficult to grip and support, leading to hand discomfort and increased risk of dropping due to their size and weight, especially during prolonged use or in vibrating conditions.
Innovation Solution
A portable electronic device set with a detachable auxiliary assembly featuring a horse hoof-shaped frame body and flexible gripping portion, a fitting member with a flexible band body, and a support rack with a position limiting member, allowing for secure grip and stable support at a fixed angle, reducing hand strain and preventing accidental drops.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the portable electronic device is made larger to provide a better operating surface, then the operating area is improved, but the device becomes harder to grip and support, increasing hand strain
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into a main body and a separate auxiliary assembly (grip enhancer) that can be attached to the rear surface. This segmentation allows the operating surface to remain large while the gripping function is provided by the detachable auxiliary component, resolving the contradiction between size and ease of gripping.
Solution Approach 2:
An auxiliary assembly acts as an intermediary between the user's hand and the large portable electronic device. This intermediary component provides the necessary gripping surface and leverage points, enabling users to comfortably hold and operate large devices without direct hand contact with the entire device surface.
2Ease of operation
If the portable electronic device is placed on an inclined surface for hands-free use, then ease of operation is improved, but the device becomes unstable and may drop during vibration or shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary assembly is pre-equipped with support rack structures and position limiting members that are designed to engage with the device body in advance. These preliminary structural arrangements ensure that when the device is placed on an inclined surface, the support mechanisms are already in position to prevent dropping, even before vibration or shaking occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary assembly incorporates support racks and position limiting members that act as preventive measures against potential dropping. These structures are designed to engage and secure the device before any dropping incident can occur, providing a safety mechanism that cushions against the harmful effect of vibration-induced drops.
3Ease of operation
If a detachable auxiliary assembly is added to improve gripping, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the gripping function into a separate detachable auxiliary assembly, the main device body remains simple in structure. The complexity is isolated to the optional auxiliary component, which can be attached only when needed. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing ease of operation improvement without permanently increasing the core device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The auxiliary assembly is designed to be detachable and adaptable, allowing users to attach or remove it based on their needs. This dynamic configuration enables the system to transition between simple and enhanced states, providing gripping assistance only when required, thus avoiding permanent increase in device complexity while maintaining ease of operation when needed.
