Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional flexible mobile holders have a limited adjustable angle range, which cannot meet the diverse needs of users when using digital products.

Innovation Solution

The flexible mobile holder features a base assembly with a movable seat that can be rotated and adjusted at any angle, allowing the support rod to be positioned freely, eliminating the need for twisting and deformation to adjust the angle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the support rod is fixed as a whole relative to the base assembly, then the structure is simple, but the adjustable angle range is small

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustable angle rangeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support rod is divided into multiple sections that can rotate relative to each other. The first support rod section is connected to the base assembly, and the second support rod section is connected to the clamping assembly. A rotating connection mechanism allows the second section to rotate relative to the first section, enabling independent angle adjustment without requiring the entire support rod to twist or deform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection between the first and second support rod sections is designed to be dynamic rather than fixed. The rotating connection mechanism allows the angle between sections to change freely, transforming the static fixed connection into a dynamic adjustable connection that adapts to different viewing angles while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the support rod angle is adjusted by twisting and deformation, then the structure remains simple, but the adjustable angle range is limited and user comfort is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser comfortVSAvoidadjustable angle range
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the support rod into rotatable sections, the adjustment mechanism no longer relies on twisting the entire rod. Instead, specific sections can rotate independently at the rotating connection, providing larger adjustment range and better ergonomics without compromising structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotating connection mechanism acts as an intermediary between the first and second support rod sections. It mediates the angle adjustment by allowing controlled rotation between sections, providing a dedicated mechanism for angle change that is more effective and comfortable than twisting the support rod itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
