Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in repairing and maintaining the waterproof and dustproof structures of electronic devices, particularly when components like displays are replaced, as the existing methods often degrade the integrity of these structures.
Innovation Solution
A repair kit is provided with a nozzle, storage, and a guide tube that facilitates precise alignment and application of a sealing material to restore the waterproof and dustproof structure, using a guide tube to ensure accurate positioning and alignment of the nozzle tip.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a nozzle is used to apply sealing material during repair, then the sealing material can be discharged, but the nozzle cannot be precisely positioned or aligned at a predetermined location
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guide tube as an intermediary component between the nozzle and the repair surface. The guide tube includes a through hole that guides the nozzle tip to a predetermined position, ensuring accurate alignment and positioning of the sealing material application point without directly modifying the nozzle structure.
2Device complexity
If the nozzle is directly applied without a guide tube, then the structure is simpler, but the nozzle cannot be aligned at a predetermined position or direction
Solution Approach 1:
The guide tube serves as a mediating structure that adds minimal complexity to the application tool while significantly improving sealing material application precision. The guide tube's through hole provides a predetermined path for the nozzle tip, ensuring accurate positioning without requiring complex alignment mechanisms.
3Measurement precision
If a guide tube is added to align the nozzle, then positioning precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The application tool is segmented into distinct functional components: the nozzle for material discharge, the guide tube for positioning, and the support structure for stability. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall system manageability and ease of assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide tube acts as an intermediary element that connects the support structure to the nozzle, providing a simple yet effective solution for positioning. The through hole in the guide tube creates a predetermined path that aligns the nozzle tip without requiring complex mechanical alignment systems.
4Productivity
If sealing material is applied without proper alignment, then the application process is faster, but the waterproof and dustproof structure integrity is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The guide tube is designed with a predetermined through hole that pre-establishes the correct positioning path for the nozzle tip. This preliminary structural arrangement ensures that the sealing material is applied at the exact required location without requiring time-consuming alignment adjustments during the repair process, thus maintaining both speed and integrity.

AI summary
A repair kit for an electronic device includes a nozzle, a storage, and a guide tube. The storage stores sealing material in liquid or gel state and discharges it through the nozzle based on external force. The guide tube is detachably provided on the nozzle, accommodating a portion of the nozzle and aligning it at a predetermined position or direction. When mounted, the nozzle tip protrudes from a support end of the guide tube. The storage may include a cylindrical container with one open end and another end coupled to the nozzle, and a plunger that moves linearly within the container to discharge the sealing material. The repair kit may further include support pieces on the guide tube and support plates that can be coupled to adjust alignment height or angle, enabling precise positioning during electronic device repair operations.
