Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging systems for electronic devices, such as those monitoring physiological parameters, are inconvenient for mobility due to the need for constant access to a power source and require complex connectivity solutions.
Innovation Solution
A charging system comprising a base and an external battery with magnetic and clipping attachments for secure, direct electrical contact, allowing independent replacement and charging without dedicated power cords.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a charging base with external battery is provided, then the device can be recharged, but the user must ensure access to power sources and connectors which reduces mobility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the charging base and external battery into a single integrated unit. The base houses both the charging circuitry and an embedded external battery, eliminating the need for separate power sources and connectors. This merged design provides reliable charging availability while maintaining mobility, as the integrated unit can be easily carried and used without managing multiple separate components.
2Reliability
If portable power banks are used to ensure constant power supply, then charging availability is improved, but the system complexity increases due to multiple connectors and power sources
Solution Approach 1:
The charging base is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a charging station and as an external battery power source. The base can charge the electronic device directly when connected to power, and also function as a portable power bank using its embedded battery. This universal design eliminates the need for separate power banks and multiple connectors, reducing system complexity while ensuring constant power supply availability.
3Ease of operation
If the charging base includes an embedded external battery, then mobility is improved by reducing the number of power sources needed, but the base unit becomes larger and heavier
Solution Approach 1:
The charging system is segmented into two functional parts: a compact charging base with embedded battery for portability, and a separate larger power source for when extended charging capacity is needed. This segmentation allows the base unit to remain small and lightweight for daily mobility, while still providing sufficient charging capacity through its embedded battery. Users can add external power sources only when needed, rather than carrying large capacity everywhere.
