Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fixing devices for electronic devices, such as hands-free stands, often struggle with insufficient suction power and firmness, especially with increased usage, which necessitates a more stable fixation method.
Innovation Solution
A multi-adsorption fixing device that combines magnetic attraction and vacuum suction cup technologies, featuring a floating connection structure between two shells with elastic members, a suction cup assembly with a release mechanism, and a magnetic adsorption assembly, to achieve enhanced stability and firmness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a suction cup holder is used to fix electronic devices, then the device can be mounted on various surfaces, but the suction power is insufficient and firmness deteriorates with increased usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines magnetic adsorption and vacuum suction cup mechanisms into a single fixing device. The magnetic adsorption assembly provides initial strong attachment force to hold the electronic device, while the vacuum suction cup assembly maintains stable fixation by forming a sealed vacuum environment. This merging of two different adsorption mechanisms resolves the contradiction by providing both strong initial force and sustained fixation reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing device uses composite structural design combining magnetic components, vacuum cup components, and elastic members. The shell assembly integrates a first shell with a suction cup, a second shell with magnetic adsorption assembly, and elastic members connecting them. This composite structure enables the device to simultaneously provide magnetic attraction force and vacuum suction force, achieving both strong initial attachment and sustained fixation.
2Ease of operation
If a magnetic stand is used to fix electronic devices, then convenience is improved and direct magnetic attachment is enabled, but the firmness of magnetic adsorption becomes insufficient with increased usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges magnetic adsorption and vacuum suction cup mechanisms into a single fixing device. The magnetic adsorption assembly provides initial strong attachment force to hold the electronic device, while the vacuum suction cup assembly maintains stable fixation by forming a sealed vacuum environment. This merging of two different adsorption mechanisms resolves the contradiction by providing both strong initial force and sustained fixation reliability.
3Ease of operation
If the suction cup is exposed on the first shell, then ease of operation is improved, but the suction cup surface is prone to contamination
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the suction cup dynamically movable between exposed and hidden positions. The second shell can rotate relative to the first shell, allowing the suction cup to move between an exposed position (for easy operation and mounting) and a hidden position (protected inside the second shell). This dynamic positioning resolves the contradiction by providing accessibility when needed and protection when not in use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a flexible rotating connection between the first shell and second shell, allowing the second shell to rotate and cover/expose the suction cup. This flexible mechanical connection enables the suction cup to be protected by the second shell when not in use, preventing contamination while maintaining accessibility when needed.
