Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing supporting devices for mobile terminals are bulky and inconvenient to carry due to their large size, which complicates storage and use.
Innovation Solution
A compact supporting device comprising a main board body, a connecting board assembly, and two trapezoidal supporting bodies connected via bendable parts, allowing for adjustable angles and a wrapping layer made of materials like leather or plastics for a compact and integrated design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a protective cover is folded to form a supporting structure, then the mobile terminal can be supported at an inclined angle for convenient reading and operation, but the size of the product becomes too large, making it inconvenient to store and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting device is designed with a nested structure where the first and second supporting bodies are folded and stored within the contour of the main board body when not in use. This nesting approach allows the supporting structure to be compact during storage while providing full support functionality when deployed, directly resolving the contradiction between operational convenience and portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting device employs bendable parts with flexible connections that allow dynamic adjustment of the supporting angle. The flexible connections enable the structure to transition between a compact folded state for portability and an extended support state for reading and operation, making the device adaptable to different usage scenarios without compromising either convenience or compactness.
2Volume of moving object
If the supporting device is made compact for easy carrying, then portability is improved, but the structural complexity increases to achieve foldable and adjustable functionality
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting device is segmented into distinct functional modules: a main board body, first and second supporting bodies, and bendable parts with flexible connections. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function while simplifying the overall design and assembly, reducing structural complexity despite the foldable and adjustable functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The bendable parts serve multiple functions: they connect the supporting bodies to the main board, provide flexible articulation for angle adjustment, and enable the folding mechanism for compact storage. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby simplifying the overall structure while achieving both compactness and adjustability.
