Protective Housing Support Assembly for Stable Auto-Folding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support structures for protective housings of electronic products are unstable, inflexible, and require manual accommodation, leading to unsatisfactory usage due to potential unfolding and shaking during the accommodation process.
Innovation Solution
A support assembly comprising a protective housing connection plate, slant support plate, and support plate, utilizing a torsion spring mechanism to enable stable clamping and automatic accommodation through a rotating and sliding mechanism, with features like rotating and sliding grooves, hooks, and torsion spring ends clamped by limiting cards and grooves, ensuring smooth operation and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single support structure is used, then the structure is simple, but the stability is poor and the support may unfold during accommodation
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is divided into multiple independent support plates (first support plate, second support plate, third support plate) connected through rotating shafts. Each support plate can be independently positioned and locked, providing stable support while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. This segmentation allows the support to remain stable during accommodation without requiring complex mechanisms.
2Device complexity
If manual accommodation is required, then the structure is simple, but the operation is inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The support plates are designed to be rotatable relative to each other through rotating shafts, enabling dynamic adjustment of the support angle and configuration. This dynamic mechanism allows easy transformation between different support states without complex locking or manual assembly operations, improving ease of operation while maintaining structural simplicity.
3Device complexity
If the support is prone to collision and shaking, then the structure is simple, but the usage effect is unsatisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The support plates are designed to nest within each other when in the accommodated state, with each support plate fitting into the structure of the previous one. This nested configuration minimizes the overall size and prevents collision and shaking during storage or transport, while maintaining structural simplicity. The nested design ensures stable composition without requiring additional stabilizing mechanisms.

AI summary
A support structure for a protective housing of an electronic product includes a support assembly including a protective housing connection plate, a slant support plate, and a support plate. One end of the slant support plate is disposed on a side of the protective housing connection plate in a rotation manner through a first rotating shaft, a torsion spring is sleeved on the first rotating shaft, and the other end of the slant support plate is disposed on a side of the support plate in the rotation manner of a second rotating shaft. One end of the support plate is disposed on the side of the protective housing connection plate in a sliding manner through a sliding shaft.
