Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a protective case is added to the electronic device, then protection and support functionality are improved, but magnetic alignment is interfered with and wireless charging efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the protective case with a magnetic assembly that includes magnetic alignment members integrated into the case structure. This merging allows the case to simultaneously provide mechanical protection and maintain magnetic alignment for wireless charging, resolving the contradiction between protection and magnetic alignment reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic assembly acts as an intermediary component between the protective case and the wireless charging system. It mediates the interaction by providing the necessary magnetic alignment function while the case provides protection, allowing both functions to coexist without interfering with each other.
2Reliability
If a magnetic assembly is integrated into the case, then wireless charging efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic assembly is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides magnetic alignment for wireless charging, structural support for the case, and potential support for the electronic device at various angles. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby managing complexity while improving wireless charging efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The support member of the magnetic assembly is designed to be movable or adjustable, allowing it to adapt to different usage scenarios. This dynamic capability enables the same structure to provide both wireless charging alignment and device support functions, reducing overall system complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the support member is made movable to provide support functionality, then ease of operation is improved, but structural stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is designed with movable capabilities to provide adjustable support angles and functionalities, improving ease of operation. The dynamic design allows the support member to be positioned as needed while maintaining structural integrity through proper mechanical connections to the case body.
