Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a protective case is designed with fixed structure, then manufacturing is simple, but it cannot adapt to various environments and usage scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The case incorporates rotatable bases and supports that can change orientation and position dynamically. The second base rotates relative to the first base, and supports can rotate to adjust between parallel and inclined positions, allowing the case to adapt to different usage scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The case is divided into multiple independent rotatable components: first base, second base, first support, and second support. Each component can rotate independently, enabling flexible configuration for different environments without requiring a completely complex integrated structure
2Stability of the object's composition
If the case includes multiple rotatable supports, then it can provide stable support in various positions, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple supports with rotation capabilities allow the case to provide stable support in various positions. The first support rotates to adjust between parallel and inclined positions, while the second support rotates independently to support side surfaces, enabling stable support for different device orientations without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The rotatable supports serve multiple functions: they can be positioned parallel to the second surface for general support, inclined for viewing angles, or used to support specific side surfaces. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated support structures for each function
3Adaptability or versatility
If the case structure is made more flexible to adapt to shape changes, then usability improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The case uses rotatable coupling mechanisms that allow flexible adaptation to shape changes. The second base rotates relative to the first base, and supports rotate independently, providing adaptability while using standard rotational joints that can be manufactured with conventional precision tolerances
Solution Approach 2:
By segmenting the structure into independently rotatable components, each joint can be manufactured with standard precision requirements rather than requiring high precision across the entire flexible structure, as each segment's rotation is controlled by its own coupling mechanism

AI summary
A case includes: a first base coupled to a portion of an electronic device; a second base including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a first support part which is rotatably coupled to the second base, and movable parallel to the second surface by rotating in a first rotation direction, or movable to be inclined with respect to the second surface by rotating in a second rotation direction opposite the first rotation direction; and a second support part which is coupled to the second base to be rotatable independently of the first support part, and movable parallel to the second surface by rotating in the second rotation direction, or movable to support the side surface of the electronic device disposed on the first surface by rotating in the first rotation direction.
