Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic mobile devices often lie on the floor during charging, leading to accidental damage and safety hazards due to tangled cables and tripping, as existing solutions like extension cords and chairs are impractical.
Innovation Solution
A fixing support bracket with a tightening ring and carrying unit that secures the mobile phone vertically during charging, using adjustable stoppers and a support structure to accommodate different connector types and wireless charging sensors, preventing accidental tripping and damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mobile phone is placed on the floor during charging, then the charging operation can be performed, but the mobile phone is prone to accidental damage and safety hazards occur due to tangled cables and tripping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the mobile phone from a horizontal placement on the floor to a vertical upright position using a bracket structure. This dimensional change elevates the phone to a safer position while maintaining charging functionality, eliminating the need for the phone to lie on the floor and reducing tripping hazards from cables.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging bracket serves as an intermediary device between the floor and the mobile phone. It provides a stable support structure that holds the phone upright during charging, preventing direct contact with the floor and reducing the risk of accidental damage while keeping the charging cable organized.
2Reliability
If extension cords or chairs are used to charge on the desktop, then safety hazards are reduced, but the solutions are impromptu and impractical
Solution Approach 1:
The charging bracket is designed to be universally applicable with a tightening ring that can accommodate different connector types and cable sizes. It provides a permanent, practical solution that combines safety features with ease of operation, eliminating the need for impromptu solutions like extension cords or chairs.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket incorporates adjustable components including a movable front stopper and an adjustable tightening ring that can adapt to different phone sizes and cable configurations. This dynamic adjustability makes the solution practical and adaptable to various charging scenarios while maintaining safety.
3Reliability
If a fixed support structure is used to hold the mobile phone upright, then accidental tripping is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into functional segments: a base for stability, a vertical support structure for upright positioning, a tightening ring for cable management, and stoppers for phone positioning. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while keeping the overall structure relatively simple and manageable.
