Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional brackets are used to support mobile devices, then the devices can be held in position, but the brackets are large in size and inconvenient to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into multiple detachable components including a first supporting plate, a second supporting plate, and a supporting body with adjustable angle mechanisms. This segmentation allows each component to be small and lightweight while combining to provide full support functionality, making the bracket easy to carry and store.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting body can be folded such that the first supporting plate attaches to the second supporting plate when in the folded state, creating a compact nested structure. This nesting mechanism reduces the overall volume of the bracket when not in use, solving the portability issue while maintaining full functionality when deployed.
2Reliability
If the bracket structure is made complex to provide adjustable angles and stable support, then the support functionality is improved, but the device becomes larger and less portable
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket incorporates an adjustable angle mechanism with a supporting body that can rotate and lock at different angles between the first and second supporting plates. This dynamic structure allows the bracket to adapt to different viewing angles and usage scenarios while maintaining stability through locking mechanisms, providing reliable support without requiring an overly complex fixed structure.
3Volume of moving object
If the bracket is designed to be compact for portability, then carrying convenience is improved, but the stability and support capability may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket employs a locking mechanism in the angle adjusting assembly that pre-positions and secures the supporting body at desired angles. This preliminary action of locking ensures that once the bracket is set up, the structure maintains its stability and does not collapse or shift, even though the overall design remains compact for portability.

AI summary
Disclosed is a portable bracket, comprising: a first supporting plate, a second supporting plate, and a supporting body arranged between the first and second supporting plates. The supporting body is switched between an unfolding state and a folding state, when the supporting body is in the unfolding state, the first supporting plate is fixed on the second supporting plate at a predetermined included angle, and when the supporting body is in the folding state, the first supporting plate is attached to the second supporting plate. In the present invention, the first and second supporting plates support a mobile device, and a size of the predetermined included angle is adjusted and set. When this angle is 85° to 90°, a field of view of the supported mobile device is wide; therefore, users conveniently perform live broadcast activity. The present invention further has the characteristics of a small volume and convenient carrying.
