Guide Member for Inclined Electronic Component Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic devices, the increasing number of components leads to a reduction in inner space utilization efficiency due to the need for avoidance spaces, which can result in physical damage and electromagnetic interference during assembly and separation, and also increases the thickness of the device structure, compromising its strength.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a guide member that allows electronic components, such as camera modules, to be mounted without a separate avoidance space by guiding them into a seating part inclined with respect to the side wall, thereby preventing interference with internal structures and reducing the need for additional space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If avoidance spaces are provided in the interior of the electronic device to prevent interference during assembly, then the electronic component can be assembled without interference, but the inner space utilization efficiency is lowered
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member changes the assembly direction from a horizontal path (requiring avoidance spaces) to an inclined path entering through the side wall. This dimensional change in the assembly trajectory eliminates the need for internal avoidance spaces while maintaining reliable assembly without interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide member acts as an intermediary structure that facilitates the entry of the electronic component into the housing. It provides a guided inclined path that mediates between the external assembly process and the internal mounting position, eliminating the need for avoidance spaces while ensuring interference-free assembly.
2Reliability
If avoidance spaces are provided in the interior of the electronic device, then the electronic component can be assembled without interference, but electromagnetic interference may be caused in the operations of the electronic components
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member serves as an intermediary structure that enables interference-free assembly through an inclined entry path. By eliminating the need for internal avoidance spaces, it prevents the electromagnetic interference that would be generated by exposed electronic components in those spaces during operation.
3Reliability
If avoidance spaces increase the thickness of the structure of the electronic device, then the electronic component can be assembled without interference, but the strength of the electronic device is lowered
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member introduces an inclined assembly path through the side wall, changing the assembly dimension from horizontal to angled. This eliminates the need for increased structural thickness that would be required to protect internal avoidance spaces, thereby maintaining device strength while preventing assembly interference.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a lens barrel protrudes from the body part of the camera module, then an automatic focusing function can be realized, but an avoidance space must be provided in the interior of the electronic device
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member provides an inclined entry path through the side wall, allowing the camera module with the protruding lens barrel to be assembled at an angle. This dimensional change in the assembly trajectory enables the lens barrel to clear internal structures during insertion without requiring additional avoidance spaces, maintaining both autofocus functionality and space efficiency.
