Adjustable Mobile Support Mechanism With Lever-Locked Viewing Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional audio-video equipment and mobile devices often lack suitable supporting mechanisms that allow for easy adjustment to desired heights or positions, making them difficult for users to view effectively.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable supporting mechanism comprising a base plate, carrier plate, and lever with interlocking teeth for frictional adjustment, along with a supporting stand featuring a post and sucker for stable positioning, enabling the audio-video equipment or mobile device to be easily viewed by allowing adjustments in height and angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed supporting stand is used, then the structure is simple and stable, but the device cannot be adjusted to suitable height or position for easy viewing
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting mechanism transforms from a fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable one by incorporating a lever with teeth that can engage with corresponding teeth on the base plate at different positions, allowing the mobile device to be adjusted to various heights and angles while maintaining stability when positioned
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting mechanism is divided into discrete segments including the base plate with multiple tooth positions, the lever with engaging teeth, and the carrier plate, allowing independent adjustment of each component to achieve desired positioning without requiring complete structural redesign
2Adaptability or versatility
If the supporting stand is made adjustable, then the device can be positioned for easy viewing, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanism provides adaptability through a lever system with teeth that can engage at multiple positions on the base plate, enabling the mobile device to be positioned at different heights and angles to suit various viewing requirements while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting mechanism serves multiple functions: it provides stable support when engaged, allows adjustment to various positions, and maintains structural simplicity, making it universally applicable to different mobile devices and viewing scenarios
3Reliability
If a simple supporting stand is used, then the structure is easy to manufacture, but it cannot securely hold the device at adjusted positions
Solution Approach 1:
The teeth engagement mechanism provides secure positioning at adjusted heights through a simple yet effective design where the lever teeth engage with base plate teeth, creating reliable mechanical interlocking that holds the device firmly at selected positions without complex manufacturing requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The discrete tooth positions on the base plate and corresponding teeth on the lever create segmented adjustment points that provide secure holding at each position while keeping the overall structure simple and easy to manufacture using standard fabrication processes

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables the audio-video equipment or mobile device to be securely and easily positioned at any desired height or angle, enhancing user visibility and usability.
Implementation Method 1
The base board includes a sucker attached to a bottom portion of the base board
Implementation Method 2
the base plate includes a plurality of second teeth engaged with the first teeth of the lever for frictionally adjusting the lever relative to the base plate and for allowing the lever to be frictionally anchored and positioned to the base plate at the selected or required height

AI summary
A mobile device supporting assembly includes a supporting mechanism having a base plate, a carrier plate to be supported on the base plate, and a lever attached to the base plate and adjustable relative to the base plate, and a mobile electronic facility to be supported on the carrier plate. The carrier plate is adjustable relative to the base plate with the lever for allowing the mobile electronic facility to be adjusted relative to the base plate to any suitable or selected height. The lever includes a spindle engaged with the base plate for pivotally attaching the lever to the base plate, and includes an axle engaged with the carrier plate for pivotally attaching the lever to the carrier plate.
