Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mounts for assembling smartphones with gaming controllers involve complex processes such as screw installation or removal, which are cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A gaming controller assembly that utilizes magnets to facilitate easy attachment and detachment of the gaming controller and mount, utilizing a first magnet on the host and a second magnet on the mounting base to achieve magnetic attraction for convenient assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional mounts use screws for assembly, then structural integrity is ensured, but assembly process becomes complex and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional screw-based mechanical fastening system with a magnetic field-based fastening system. Magnets embedded in the mount and gaming controller create magnetic attraction forces that securely hold the devices together without requiring screws, significantly simplifying the assembly process while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces magnets as an intermediary element between the mount and gaming controller. These magnets serve as a mediator that creates an invisible magnetic field to establish the connection, replacing the need for direct mechanical contact through screws and simplifying the assembly operation.
2Ease of operation
If magnets are used for assembly, then assembly convenience is improved, but holding force must be sufficient to maintain structural integrity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes parameters such as magnet size, magnetic material properties, and magnetic field strength to ensure that the magnetic holding force is sufficient to maintain structural integrity while enabling easy assembly and disassembly. By carefully adjusting these parameters, the system achieves both convenience and reliability.
