Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging devices with horizontal-vertical convertible structures require manual adjustment and lack the ability to adjust angles as needed, resulting in poor adjustability.
Innovation Solution
A charging device with a motor assembly that allows for automatic rotation between horizontal and vertical states, featuring a first housing with a receiving space, a second housing for holding an electronic device, and a charging assembly, where the motor assembly drives the second housing to rotate relative to the first housing, enhancing adjustability and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual adjustment is used for horizontal-vertical convertible structure, then device complexity is reduced, but adjustability and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical adjustment system with an automated motor assembly. The motor assembly includes a motor, transmission mechanism, and control system that automatically rotate the second housing between horizontal and vertical positions, eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining structural feasibility through standardized mechanical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging device achieves self-service functionality through the motor assembly that automatically performs the orientation adjustment without user intervention. The system detects the charging requirements and autonomously transitions between horizontal and vertical states, making the device serve itself rather than requiring external manual operation.
2Speed
If motor assembly is connected near the first housing, then rotational speed is improved, but torque requirements and stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the spatial arrangement by connecting the motor assembly to the second end of the second housing rather than near the first housing. This positional change in the rotational mechanism creates a more favorable torque arm configuration, reducing the required motor torque while maintaining adequate rotational speed for the housing transition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adjusts the connection position parameter of the motor assembly along the second housing to optimize the balance between torque requirements and rotational performance. By positioning the motor at the second end, the system achieves parameter optimization that reduces force requirements while maintaining functional speed characteristics.
3Stability of the object's composition
If second housing is connected to first housing, then structural stability is improved, but adjustability and automation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic connection system where the second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing via the motor assembly. This dynamic joint allows the structure to transition between fixed horizontal and vertical states, combining structural stability during each state with the adaptability to change orientation automatically through motor-driven rotation.
Solution Approach 2:
The motor assembly serves multiple functions: it provides the rotational drive for orientation change, maintains structural connection between housings, and enables both horizontal and vertical positioning. This multi-functional design achieves both structural stability and orientation adjustability through a single integrated mechanism.
