Magnetic Installation Base With Pivot Release for Easy Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing installation bases with magnetic attachments often face difficulties in being easily removed due to insufficient magnetic force, leading to inefficient attachment and detachment processes in wearable devices.
Innovation Solution
An installation base design featuring a main body with a magnet piece and a release member, including a pivoting, pressing, and operating part, which allows the pressing part to separate the carrier platform from the main body, reducing the magnetic force and enabling easy removal by creating a gap and included angle, thus facilitating detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a magnet with a large force of attraction is used, then the installation base can be effectively arranged on a user, but the user cannot smoothly remove the installation base
Solution Approach 1:
The release member is designed to be movable between a first position (where the pressing part does not press against the carrier platform) and a second position (where the pressing part presses against the carrier platform). This dynamic mechanism allows the magnetic force to be dynamically adjusted: when the release member is in the first position, the full magnetic force holds the carrier platform securely; when moved to the second position, the pressing part creates a gap that reduces magnetic force, enabling easy removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The pressing part of the release member acts as an intermediary between the user's removal action and the magnetic attachment. By introducing this intermediate mechanical element, the user can apply force to the release member, which then translates this force into gap creation between the main body and carrier platform, thereby indirectly reducing the magnetic force without requiring the user to directly overcome the strong magnetic attraction.
2Ease of operation
If a magnet with insufficient force of attraction is used, then the installation base can be easily removed, but the installation base cannot be effectively arranged on a user
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a static magnetic attachment to a dynamic system where the magnetic force can be modulated. The release member enables the user to switch between two states: strong attachment (when the release member is in the first position) and easy removal (when the release member is in the second position). This dynamic capability allows the use of stronger magnets without sacrificing ease of removal.
Solution Approach 2:
Before removal is needed, the release member is positioned such that the pressing part does not press against the carrier platform, allowing the magnetic force to fully secure the installation base. When removal is desired, the user moves the release member to the second position, preliminarily creating the gap condition that reduces magnetic force before the actual separation occurs.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables easy removal of the installation base from the user's body even with magnets of higher attraction force, preventing detachment difficulties and minimizing potential damage, such as scratches, while maintaining secure attachment.
Implementation Method 1
The first surface is provided with a magnet piece. The carrier platform is attached to the first surface by the magnet piece.
Implementation Method 2
The pivoting part is pivotally connected to the main body in a first direction.
Implementation Method 3
When the release member is pivotally turned, the pressing part presses against the carrier platform, such that a gap is produced between the main body and the carrier platform, thereby reducing the force of attraction of the magnet piece upon the carrier platform

AI summary
An installation base includes a main body and a release member. The main body includes a first surface and a second surface on two opposite sides. The first surface is provided with a magnet piece. The release member is arranged on a second surface of the main body, and includes a pressing part, a pivoting part and an operating part. The pivoting part is pivotally connected to the main body in a first direction. The pressing part extends from the pivoting part in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and protrudes from the main body, and a length of the pressing part in the second direction is greater than a thickness from the first surface to the second surface of the main body. The operating part extends from the pivoting part in the second direction toward a direction opposite to the pressing part.
