Mobile Frame with Magnetic Coupling for Adjustable Stand and Handle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing protection apparatuses for portable electronic devices are often bulky, heavy, and lack a handle or complex structures, making them inconvenient for use as both carrying and stand supports.
Innovation Solution
A mobile frame with an upper and lower frame, featuring magnetic coupling and latching mechanisms, allowing for adjustable positioning, use as a handle, and serving as a stand with adjustable height and angle, while also providing dust protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If protection apparatuses are designed with integrating molding and flip cover forms, then protection function is provided, but the structure becomes complicated, increasing assembly steps and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The protection apparatus is divided into a frame body and a detachable cover component. The frame body provides the basic protective structure, while the cover can be separately attached or removed. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure by allowing each component to be optimized independently, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining protection functionality.
2Reliability
If protection apparatuses are designed as shell, cover or bag forms, then protection function is provided, but they lack handle structures and require additional backpack carrying
Solution Approach 1:
The frame body is designed with dual functionality: it serves as both the protective structure and an integrated handle for carrying. The handle structure is incorporated into the frame body itself, eliminating the need for separate carrying accessories. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by providing both protection and convenient carrying without requiring additional components.
3Device complexity
If protection apparatuses are designed without adjustable support, then structure is simpler, but they cannot provide height and inclined angle adjustment for electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
The frame body incorporates adjustable components that allow dynamic modification of the support structure. The height and inclined angle of the support can be adjusted by moving parts along guided paths or rotating joints within the frame. This dynamic adjustability enables the structure to adapt to different device sizes and user preferences while maintaining overall structural simplicity through modular design elements.
