Extendible Electronic Holder Frame for Adjustable Viewing Distance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display screen adjusting devices lack a function for extension/contraction, requiring users to manually adjust the seat location and sitting posture to achieve the most suitable angle and distance for viewing.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device holder with an extendible frame, a clamper, and a support frame that allows the extendible frame to reciprocally move along a slide channel, enabling the frame to extend or contract with respect to the support frame, thus providing an extension/contraction function.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display screen adjusting device is designed with a fixed frame structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability for different viewing distances and angles is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed frame structure into a dynamic extendible frame structure. The frame includes extending components with sliding mechanisms that allow the viewing distance to be adjusted dynamically. The connection between frame components uses rotating joints and sliding guides, enabling the structure to change its configuration from static to dynamic, thus providing adaptability for different viewing distances while maintaining reasonable device complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the nesting principle by designing the extendible frame with nested components. The extending frame includes inner and outer frame members that can slide within each other, with the inner frame nested inside the outer frame structure. This nesting arrangement allows for compact storage when not in use and smooth extension when needed, providing adaptability without significantly increasing overall device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the frame structure is made extendible with sliding mechanisms, then the adaptability for viewing distance adjustment is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the self-service principle by designing the extendible frame with spring-loaded mechanisms and friction-based locking systems. The frame components can be extended and locked automatically through user-initiated actions without requiring complex motors or electronic controls. The spring mechanisms provide automatic retraction force, and the friction locks engage passively when the frame reaches desired positions, making the system easy to operate while avoiding excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the frame into multiple independent extendible sections. Each section has its own sliding mechanism and locking system, allowing individual adjustment of different parts of the frame. This segmentation enables localized adjustment without affecting the entire structure, improving ease of operation while managing complexity through modular, repeatable components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adjustment mechanisms are added to the device, then the functionality for positioning is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing adjustment mechanisms that serve multiple functions. The sliding frame mechanism not only adjusts viewing distance but also provides structural support and defines the viewing angle. The rotating joints in the frame serve both as connection points and as angle adjustment mechanisms. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated adjustment mechanisms, improving positioning functionality while controlling device complexity.

AI summary
An electronic device holder includes an electronic device; an extendible frame connectable with the electronic device and including at least one fastener; a clamper including a base and a clamping part mounted on the base; and a support frame rotatably connected to the extendible frame and the clamper and including two supporting portions each including two connection rods parallel to and spaced from each other to define a slide channel. Upper and lower fixing rings are respectively arranged at upper and lower ends of the connection rods. An upper rotation axle is arranged between the two upper fixing rings and is rotatable in synchronization therewith. A lower rotation axle is arranged between the lower fixing rings and is rotatable in synchronization therewith. The fastener penetrates through and is movable along the slide channel to make the extendible frame reciprocally move to extend/contract relative to the support frame.
