Solution Overview

Problem

Current Bluetooth keyboards for tablet computers only support a fixed angle, limiting user convenience and adaptability in various application scenarios.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device protective case with a rotatable and slidable connecting mechanism, allowing flexible adjustment of the support angle of the electronic device by connecting one end to a keyboard assembly and the other end to a first connecting member, which is slidably connected to a fastening member, with a surface fixedly attached to the device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed-angle fastening groove is used to clamp the tablet computer, then the structure is simple and stable, but the support angle cannot be adjusted, reducing adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of support angleVSAvoidcomplexity of connecting mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static fixed-angle support into a dynamic adjustable support system. The supporting assembly includes rotatable connections at both ends and a slidable connecting member, enabling the electronic device to be positioned at various angles. The rotatable connection between the supporting assembly and keyboard assembly, combined with the slidable connection between the connecting member and fastening member, creates a dynamic mechanism that adapts to different support angle requirements while maintaining structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a rotatable and slidable connecting mechanism is introduced to enable angle adjustment, then adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability of support angleVSAvoidease of adjusting support angle
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the angle adjustment function into multiple independent components: the supporting assembly, the connecting member, and the fastening member. Each component has a specific function - the supporting assembly provides structural support, the connecting member enables sliding movement for angle adjustment, and the fastening member secures the device at the desired angle. This segmentation allows the complex adjustment mechanism to be operated simply by moving the electronic device along the predefined rotational and sliding paths.

AI summary

An embodiment of this application provides an electronic device protective case and an electronic device assembly. In the electronic device protective case, one end of a supporting assembly is rotatably connected to a keyboard assembly, the other end of the supporting assembly is rotatably connected to a first connecting member, the first connecting member is slidably connected to a first fastening member, and one surface that is of the first fastening member and that is away from the first connecting member is fixedly connected to the electronic device. Therefore, an adjustment of a random support angle of the electronic device is implemented, so that a use requirement of the user in more application scenarios can be met, thereby improving use performance of the electronic device.
