Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile terminal stands lack card accommodation features and have limited support states, necessitating separate card cases and offering only a single support configuration.

Innovation Solution

A stand for mobile terminals featuring a first support with a card-holding cavity, a pivotally connected second and third support allowing multiple angles and positions, and a fixing component for securing the device, enabling various support configurations and integrated card storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing stands only have a simple folding foot, then the structure is simple, but the support states are limited to a single configuration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport statesVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is divided into multiple independent support components (first support, second support, third support) that can be independently positioned. Each support can be adjusted to different angles and positions, allowing the creation of multiple support states without requiring a completely complex redesign of the entire structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supports are designed with pivotal connections that allow dynamic adjustment between different positions and angles. The second and third supports can pivot relative to the first support, enabling the stand to transition between multiple support states adaptively based on user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If existing stands lack card accommodation features, then the structure is simple, but users need to carry separate card cases which reduces convenience

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconvenienceVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The card accommodation feature is merged with the stand structure by integrating a card holder into the first support. This combination allows users to store cards directly in the stand, eliminating the need for separate card cases while maintaining structural coherence rather than adding unrelated components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The first support serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the stand and simultaneously houses the card accommodation feature. This multi-functionality increases convenience by combining what were previously separate items (stand and card case) into a single integrated device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Quantity of substance

If some mobile phone stands are equipped with card cases, then card storage is available, but the card-holding capacity is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecard-holding capacityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The card holder is designed to utilize vertical space and three-dimensional arrangement within the first support structure. By arranging card slots in multiple dimensions rather than a single linear row, the stand can accommodate a greater quantity of cards without significantly increasing the external footprint or overall structural complexity.

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

AI summary

A stand for mobile terminal includes a first support, a second support, and a third support. The second and third support bodies are respectively hinged to the first support. The first support is provided with a first accommodation cavity for holding cards. The second support is equipped with a fixing component to secure the position of a mobile terminal device. The second support can be positioned relative to the first support in a first unfolded position and a first retracted position. In the first unfolded position, the second support forms a first angle with the first support. In the first retracted position, the angle between them is smaller than the first angle. The third support can be positioned relative to the first support in a second unfolded position and a second retracted position.
