Micro-Mobility Device Holder With Retractable Vibration-Stable Mount
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile device holders for micro-mobility objects like electric kickboards are prone to vibration and impact, and passengers cannot use additional devices due to the need to hold the steering wheel, requiring a solution that secures the device without compromising the object's appearance and allows for additional device usage.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device holder with a main body attached to the top of the micro-mobility object, featuring a holder that can be stored on one side and securely mounted on the opposite side, allowing for adjustable angles and additional device integration, including authentication for secure locking and charging capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mobile device holder is mounted on a micro-mobility object, then the mobile device can be secured and used, but the holder is sensitive to vibration and impact due to the small overall size
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is nested within the main body of the mobility object when not in use, and can be extended or deployed to secure the mobile device. This nesting approach allows the holder to be integrated into the compact structure while providing adequate support when deployed, reducing sensitivity to vibration and impact.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed to be movable between a retracted state (stored in the main body) and an extended state (secured to hold the mobile device). This dynamic capability allows the holder to adapt to different usage conditions and provides flexibility in responding to vibration and impact forces.
2Shape
If the holder is stored in the main body to maintain appearance, then the mobility object looks cleaner, but additional devices cannot be used
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is segmented into a main body portion (stored in the mobility object) and a functional portion (extended for device mounting). This segmentation allows the holder to maintain a compact appearance when retracted while providing a separate interface for securing additional devices when deployed.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed to serve multiple functions: maintaining aesthetic appearance when retracted, securing mobile devices when extended, and providing a mounting interface for various additional devices. The coupling portion enables universal compatibility with different device types.
3Reliability
If the holder is separated from the main body to mount a mobile device, then the mobile device can be securely mounted, but the coupling mechanism increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism is extracted as a separate, modular component that can be independently designed and optimized. The protruding portion and coupling portion are distinct elements that interface with each other, allowing the mounting function to be separated from the main holder structure and reducing overall complexity.

AI summary
A mobile device holder for mobility object includes: a main body coupled to a top end of the mobility object; a display positioned on a top surface of the main body and configured to provide a passenger of the mobility object with information; and a holder configured to be stored in the main body when coupled to a first side of the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second side of the main body and mount a mobile device thereon when separated from the first side, wherein the mobile device is supported together on the holder and a top surface of the display when mounted.
