Eyeglasses Case Integrating Battery Charger
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing eyeglasses with integrated electrical or electronic devices require users to remove and recharge batteries externally, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a battery charger directly into the eyeglasses case, with options for dynamic, solar, and cable-type USB plug configurations, allowing for in-case recharging without removing the battery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the battery is integrated in the eyeglasses, then the eyeglasses can maintain continuous functionality, but the battery cannot be recharged without removal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the battery charger with the eyeglasses case, merging two separate functions (storage and recharging) into a single integrated system. The case now serves both as a protective container and as a charging station, eliminating the need to remove the battery for recharging.
Solution Approach 2:
The case acts as an intermediary device that facilitates battery recharging. Instead of directly charging the battery while it remains in the eyeglasses, the case serves as a mediating platform that receives the eyeglasses and provides charging through contact points.
2Ease of operation
If a conventional battery charger is used, then the battery can be recharged, but the battery must be removed from the eyeglasses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the charger with the case, creating an integrated recharging system that allows the battery to remain in the eyeglasses during charging. This eliminates the need to separate the battery from the eyeglasses while maintaining recharging capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the case only accommodates eyeglasses, then the structure remains simple, but additional functionality is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The case is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a protective container for the eyeglasses and simultaneously as a battery charger. This multi-functionality increases adaptability without requiring a completely separate charging device.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging function is merged into the case structure, combining storage and charging capabilities in a single device. This integration adds versatility while maintaining relatively simple case architecture.
