Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices, such as keyboards and mice, lack the ability to adjust the angle of inclination according to user preferences, leading to discomfort during prolonged use.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with an inclination-adjusting element comprising a shaft and an eccentric wheel, allowing the device to be raised or lowered by rotating the eccentric wheel around the shaft, enabling adjustable angles of inclination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device structure is fixed, then the manufacturing complexity is low, but the adaptability to different user needs is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed base structure into an adjustable one through the inclination-adjusting element. The eccentric wheel rotating around the shaft enables dynamic angle adjustment, allowing the device to adapt to different user needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by using the eccentric wheel mechanism to alter the inclination angle parameter of the device. By rotating the eccentric wheel, the effective height and angle of the device can be changed, providing versatility without requiring complete structural redesign.
2Ease of operation
If no inclination adjustment mechanism is added, then the device complexity remains low, but the ease of operation for prolonged use deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The inclination-adjusting element with eccentric wheel provides dynamic adjustment capability that enhances user comfort during prolonged use. The mechanism allows easy angle changes without requiring complex multi-component adjustment systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The eccentric wheel mechanism is designed to be manually operable by the user without requiring additional power sources or complex control systems. The user can directly rotate the eccentric wheel to adjust the angle, making the adjustment system self-service and avoiding added complexity.
