Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile phone brackets have a low degree of freedom, limited application range, complex structure, and large volume, making them inconvenient to use and carry.

Innovation Solution

A mobile phone bracket with a cylindrical bracket body, a first clamping part for fixing the bracket body, and a second clamping part that can rotate and swing along multiple axes to adjust clamping directions, allowing for compact storage and easy portability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the bracket body is designed with multiple rotating and swinging axes for the second clamping part, then the adaptability and versatility are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclamping direction adjustmentVSAvoidrotation and swing mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The second clamping part is designed with dynamic rotation and swing capabilities along multiple axes (a1-axis, a2-axis, and b-axis). This allows the clamping part to adapt to different clamping directions and positions, transforming a static structure into a dynamically adjustable one that can respond to various viewing requirements in diverse environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket is divided into distinct functional modules: a bracket body, a first clamping part for fixing the bracket, and a second clamping part for holding the mobile phone. The second clamping part is further segmented with independent rotation and swing mechanisms, allowing each segment to perform specific functions while maintaining overall system flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the second clamping part is designed to rotate and swing along multiple axes, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment convenienceVSAvoidmulti-axis rotation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The multi-axis rotation and swing mechanism enables users to easily adjust the second clamping part to different positions and orientations. The dynamic design allows smooth movement along the a1-axis, a2-axis, and b-axis, making it convenient to achieve optimal viewing angles without requiring complex manual manipulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Volume of moving object

If the bracket body includes accommodating plates for storing clamping parts, then the volume is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall bracket volumeVSAvoidaccommodating plate structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first clamping part is nested within the first accommodating plate, and the second clamping part is nested within the second accommodating plate. When not in use, the clamping parts can be retracted into their respective accommodating plates, allowing the bracket to adopt a compact form factor that reduces overall volume and improves portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket body is segmented into functional zones with dedicated accommodating plates for storing clamping parts. This segmentation allows for efficient space utilization and enables the bracket to transition between expanded (functional) and compact (storage) states.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
