Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If external assisting fixing structures are used to fix electronic devices, then the devices can be attached to surfaces, but the rotation angle and range are very limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverotation angle and rangeVSAvoidfixing structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing structure is divided into multiple independent base portions (first base portion and second base portion) that can rotate relative to each other around separate pivot axles. This segmentation allows each portion to contribute to the overall rotation range while maintaining structural simplicity of individual components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base portions are designed to be dynamically rotatable relative to each other through pivot axles, transforming the static fixing structure into a dynamic one capable of multiple rotation angles and ranges, thereby improving adaptability without significantly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If traditional fixing structures are used, then electronic devices can be attached to surfaces, but quick fixing is not allowed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing speedVSAvoidfixing mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic attraction piece replaces traditional mechanical fastening mechanisms (screws, clips, adhesives) with a magnetic field-based attachment system. This substitution enables quick fixing by simply bringing the device near the surface for magnetic attraction to take over, eliminating complex mechanical assembly steps.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic attraction mechanism provides self-aligning and self-latching functionality. When the electronic device approaches the mounting surface, the magnetic field automatically guides and secures the device without requiring manual alignment or activation, achieving quick and effortless fixing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If fixed direction viewing is used for mobile phones or tablet computers, then the device structure is simple, but the viewability from different directions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewability from different directionsVSAvoidmounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure adds rotational degrees of freedom in multiple dimensions through the pivot axles connecting the base portions. This transforms the device from a fixed single-direction viewing state to a multi-dimensional adjustable viewing system, allowing the device to be oriented in various angles and directions while keeping the device本身 simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A quickly-fixable electronic device includes a fixing portion, a first base portion, and a second base portion. The fixing portion is provided with an electronic device. The first base portion is pivotally connectable with the fixing portion. The first base portion is provided with a receptacle. The receptacle receives and connects with the fixing portion. The second base portion is pivotally connected with the first base portion. The second base portion is provided with a magnetic attraction piece. The magnetic attraction piece enables quick fixing of the electronic device to a display screen. A pivoting motion between the fixing portion and the first base portion enables rotation of the electronic device by an angle. A pivoting motion between the first base portion and the second base portion enables inclining and swinging of the electronic device.
