Adjustable Microphone Holder Clamping for Variable Grip Diameters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional microphone holders have fixed clamping grooves, limiting their ability to accommodate microphones of various sizes, such as wireless and wired microphones with different handgrip diameters, resulting in poor adaptability.
Innovation Solution
A microphone holder made of flexible, deformable, and shape-restorable material with an adjustable clamping spacing system, featuring a clamping portion with actuating portions and an adjusting ring that allows the width of the clamping groove to be adjusted vertically, enabling the holder to fit microphones of different sizes by altering the spacing between clamping pieces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed clamping groove is used in the microphone holder, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it can only accommodate microphones of a specific size, resulting in poor adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the clamping portion adjustable rather than fixed. The holding seat includes a clamping portion with a clamping groove whose width can be adjusted to match different microphone handgrip diameters. This is achieved through a adjusting mechanism that allows the clamping pieces to move relative to each other, transforming the static structure into a dynamic one that can adapt to various sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing the width parameter of the clamping groove to be modified. The adjusting mechanism enables changes in the spacing between the two lateral clamping pieces, thereby altering the clamping groove width parameter to accommodate different microphone sizes while maintaining structural integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the clamping groove width is fixed, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the microphone holder cannot accommodate microphones with different handgrip diameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the clamping portion into two separate lateral clamping pieces that can move independently. This segmentation allows each clamping piece to be adjusted to the appropriate position to match the microphone diameter, providing manufacturing flexibility while achieving adaptability to various sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by introducing an adjusting mechanism that enables the clamping groove width to be changed. This transforms the manufacturing approach from creating a single fixed-size groove to creating an adjustable system that can be configured for different diameters, balancing manufacturing simplicity with adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If an adjustable clamping spacing system is implemented, then the microphone holder can accommodate various microphone sizes, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies flexible shells by using a holding seat made of flexible, deformable, and shape-restorable material. This flexibility allows the clamping portion to be adjusted to different configurations and then return to its original shape, providing adaptability without requiring complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms with multiple moving parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics through the flexible material properties that allow the clamping groove width to be dynamically adjusted. The material's ability to deform and restore provides a simple yet effective mechanism for adapting to different microphone sizes without adding significant structural complexity.
