Foldable Electronic Support With Multi-Angle Clamping Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic device supports lack the ability to adjust to multiple angles and are cumbersome to use, causing discomfort during long travels due to the need for complete unfolding and lack of multi-angle adjustment.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable electronic device support with three rotating structures allows for flexible angle adjustment and partial unfolding, featuring a fixing plate, supporting plate, and clamping portion to securely hold devices in various positions without full deployment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of rotating structures is increased to enable multi-angle adjustment, then adaptability to various use scenes is improved, but the device complexity and the need for complete unfolding increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support body is divided into multiple segments (first support body, second support body, third support body) that can be independently adjusted. Each segment has its own rotating structure, allowing partial unfolding and adjustment without requiring the entire support to be completely unfolded. This segmentation enables multi-angle adjustment while maintaining simplicity in each individual segment.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure incorporates multiple rotating structures that enable dynamic adjustment of different segments to different angles. The first rotating structure connects the first and second support bodies, the second rotating structure connects the second and third support bodies, and the third rotating structure connects the electronic device holding portion to the second support body. This dynamic design allows the support to adapt to various use scenes while keeping each rotating structure relatively simple.
2Ease of operation
If the electronic device support is designed to be compact for portability, then ease of carry is improved, but the ability to provide stable support and multi-angle adjustment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The support is divided into separable segments that can be stored in a compact form when not in use. The electronic device holding portion can be detached or folded into a compact state, while the support body segments can be stored together. When needed, only the necessary segments need to be unfolded and assembled, providing both portability and multi-angle adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The support segments are designed to nest within each other when folded or stored. The third support body can be positioned inside or adjacent to the second support body, which in turn can be positioned relative to the first support body, creating a compact nested configuration for portable storage while maintaining the ability to unfold into multiple angles when needed.
3Reliability
If the clamping mechanism is designed to secure the device firmly, then reliability of device fixation is improved, but the device complexity and ease of quick operation may be worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping mechanism utilizes the weight of the electronic device itself to activate the clamping action. When the device is placed on the holding portion, gravity causes the clamping component to engage with the device, providing automatic and stable fixation without requiring additional power sources or complex actuating mechanisms. This self-service approach ensures reliable device fixation while keeping the clamping mechanism simple.

AI summary
An adjustable electronic device support relates to a technical field of electronic device supports and includes rotating structures to switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. An electronic device holding portion is rotatably disposed on a supporting plate. A clamping portion is disposed on a fixing plate. The clamping portion assembles the adjustable electronic device support on a clamped object. The electronic device holding portion fixedly clamps the electronic device. When the adjustable electronic device support is in the folded state, the fixing plate and the supporting plate are folded and stored. At this time, the electronic device is still clamped by the electronic device holding portion. Then, the supporting plate are partially unfolded, and an unfolded space defined by the supporting plate provides space for the clamping portion to stretch, so that the clamping portion clamps the clamped object.
