Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device stands fail to accommodate the varying user preferences for inclination angles and storage convenience, as they are not adaptable to different user needs and are not portable enough to complement the ease of use of modern electronic devices like notebook and tablet computers.
Innovation Solution
A foldable electronic device stand with a bottom plate, carrier plate, and adjustable foldable assemblies that allow for multiple inclination angles and upright positioning, utilizing magnetic attachment and soft pieces for secure placement, and a compact storage mode, enabling easy carrying and use with various electronic devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed stand structure is used, then the stand is stable, but it cannot accommodate varying user preferences for inclination angles
Solution Approach 1:
The stand employs a foldable assembly that can be bent to different angles, transforming from a fixed structure to a dynamic one. The connecting piece and intermediate piece can be folded to various degrees, allowing the stand to adapt to different inclination angle preferences while maintaining structural simplicity through a single foldable mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The stand is divided into multiple segments including the bottom plate, carrier plate, and foldable assembly with connecting pieces and intermediate pieces. This segmentation allows each part to perform specific functions while enabling the overall structure to achieve multiple inclination angles through the coordinated arrangement of segments
2Reliability
If a large stand structure is used, then the stand provides stable support, but it is difficult to store and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The foldable assembly can be folded flat against the carrier plate, allowing the stand to be compacted into a minimal storage volume. When in use, the same components unfold to provide adequate support height and stability, effectively nesting the extended structure within its own base form
Solution Approach 2:
The stand transitions between a compact flat state for storage and an extended three-dimensional structure for support. The foldable assembly dynamically changes from a two-dimensional flat configuration to a three-dimensional angled structure, providing stable support when needed and minimal volume when stored
3Volume of moving object
If a simple flat structure is used, then the stand is easy to store, but it cannot provide upright positioning for electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
The foldable assembly transitions from a flat two-dimensional state during storage to a three-dimensional angled structure during use. The connecting piece and intermediate piece can be folded to create specific angles, enabling upright positioning of electronic devices while maintaining compact storage when folded flat
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The stand provides users with flexible positioning options for notebook and tablet computers, ensuring comfortable use and easy storage, while maintaining a compact and portable design.
Implementation Method 1
the carrier plate is disposed with a plurality of magnetic attachment areas between the first position and the second position; when magnetically attached to the corresponding magnetic attachment area, the magnetic suction piece maintains the connecting piece and the intermediate piece to stand on the carrier plate forming an angle
