Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a fixed connection holder is used to attach to the electronic device, then the holder provides stable support and viewing angle, but it affects the overall appearance of the mobile phone and creates redundancy when not needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholder stabilityVSAvoidappearance flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (screws, clips, adhesives) with a magnetic field-based attachment system. The holder contains a magnet that magnetically attracts to the electronic device housing, providing secure attachment without mechanical components that would damage or permanently alter the device appearance. This allows the holder to be easily attached and detached while maintaining aesthetic integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If a fixed connection holder is permanently attached to the electronic device, then the holder is always available for use, but it remains redundant and affects appearance in situations where the holder is not needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholder availabilityVSAvoiddevice aesthetic integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the holder from a static, permanently attached component to a dynamic, temporarily attached component. The magnetic attachment mechanism allows the holder to be easily attached when needed and easily removed when not needed, providing operational flexibility. The holder transitions between attached and detached states based on user needs, maintaining device aesthetics during detached periods while ensuring availability during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Force

If traditional mechanical attachment methods are used, then the holder provides strong connection force, but the attachment and detachment process is complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection forceVSAvoidattachment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ForceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical attachment mechanisms with a simple magnetic field interaction. The magnet in the holder naturally attracts to the electronic device housing, providing secure attachment without requiring screws, clips, or adhesive application. Detachment is equally simple, requiring only the user to overcome the magnetic force and pull the holder away. This eliminates complex assembly and disassembly procedures while maintaining strong connection force during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A holder is configured to be detachably secured to an electronic device which includes a first magnetic attraction member. The holder includes a case and a second magnetic attraction member mounted to the case. The second magnetic attraction member is configured to be attracted to the first magnetic attraction member in a first direction. The second magnetic attraction member includes a first magnet layer extending along a circumferential direction; and a second magnet layer disposed around the first magnet layer in the circumferential direction, the first magnet layer and the second magnet layer being separately formed. The first magnet layer and the second magnet layer are polarized in an axial direction which is parallel to the first direction and perpendicular to the circumferential direction, and polarization directions of the first magnet layer and the second magnet layer are opposite to each other.
