Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mobile terminal protective cases for diving lack versatility, failing to accommodate mobile terminals of different specifications and models, which reduces user experience and shooting control efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal protective case with an adjustable clamping assembly and a movable positioning plate, allowing for secure clamping and alignment of various mobile terminal models, ensuring that virtual shooting buttons face control buttons and the rear camera aligns with a shooting window, enhancing usability and waterproofing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional mobile terminal protective case is used, then underwater shooting is enabled, but the case cannot accommodate mobile terminals of different specifications and models, resulting in insufficient versatility

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidcase structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The clamping assembly is designed with movable clamping blocks that can slide along the accommodating cavity walls, allowing dynamic adjustment to accommodate different mobile terminal sizes. The positioning plate can also move along the longitudinal direction to adapt to different device dimensions, resolving the contradiction between versatility and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The protective case incorporates universal clamping and positioning mechanisms that can adapt to multiple mobile terminal models simultaneously. The clamping assembly with adjustable blocks and the movable positioning plate create a universal system that maintains functional consistency across different device specifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the mobile terminal is secured in the protective case, then underwater shooting control is enabled, but the virtual shooting buttons may not align with the physical control buttons for different device models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting control alignmentVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning plate is designed to move along the longitudinal direction of the accommodating cavity, dynamically adjusting its position to ensure that virtual shooting buttons on different mobile terminal models align with the physical control buttons on the protective case, regardless of device size variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the positional parameter of the positioning plate to accommodate different mobile terminal models, ensuring proper alignment between virtual and physical buttons while maintaining device compatibility across various specifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If the mobile terminal is clamped from the first direction, then side-to-side shaking is prevented, but the rear camera may not properly face the shooting window for different device models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal stabilityVSAvoidcamera alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning plate moves dynamically along the longitudinal direction to adjust the rear camera's facing direction, ensuring it properly aligns with the shooting window on the protective case while maintaining the clamping assembly's stability in preventing side-to-side shaking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A mobile terminal protective case for diving includes an upper shell, a lower shell, a clamping assembly arranged in the accommodating cavity, and a positioning plate arranged in an accommodating cavity. The upper shell and the lower shell are closed together to form the accommodating cavity. Shooting control buttons triggering virtual shooting buttons of a mobile terminal are arranged on the upper shell. The clamping assembly clamps two opposite sides of the mobile terminal. By arranging the clamping assembly and the positioning plate in the accommodating cavity, not only storage of the mobile terminal of different models is realized, versatility is improved. By arranging the shooting control buttons, switching of different shooting nodes is realized, switching of using a front camera and using s rear camera is realized, and shooting control of the mobile terminals of different specifications is realized, which greatly improves user experience.
