Nested Camera Decoration Assembly for Stronger Housing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera decoration parts in mobile devices, formed by splicing and assembling multiple components, increase the size of the decoration part hole in the battery cover to maintain appearance effects, thereby reducing the structural strength of the battery cover.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a camera decoration assembly with a first and second decoration part, connected via a connection assembly, where the first decoration part penetrates the housing and the second decoration part sleeves the first, allowing the outline dimension of the decoration part hole to be reduced, enhancing the housing's strength while maintaining diverse appearance effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the camera decoration part is formed by splicing and assembling multiple components to achieve diverse appearance effects, then the appearance flexibility is improved, but the outline dimension of the decoration part hole in the battery cover increases, reducing the structural strength of the battery cover
Solution Approach 1:
The camera decoration assembly uses a nested structure where the second decoration part sleeves the first decoration part, and the connection assembly is integrated within the housing. This nesting approach allows multiple components to achieve diverse appearance effects while minimizing the overall footprint and maintaining the structural integrity of the battery cover.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera decoration assembly is divided into multiple segments (first decoration part, second decoration part, connection assembly) that can be independently designed and assembled. This segmentation enables diverse appearance effects through different material and color combinations while allowing each segment to be optimized for its specific function, reducing the overall hole dimension requirement.
2Strength
If the outline dimension of the decoration part hole is reduced to enhance the structural strength of the housing, then the strength is improved, but the camera decoration assembly occupies less space, reducing the flexibility in disassembly and assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The connection assembly incorporates dynamic connection mechanisms such as snap-fits, magnetic connections, or threaded fasteners that allow the camera decoration assembly to be easily disassembled and reassembled. This dynamic approach maintains a compact hole dimension while providing operational flexibility for maintenance and upgrades.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection assembly acts as an intermediary mechanism between the first and second decoration parts, providing a standardized interface that simplifies disassembly and assembly operations. This intermediary structure enables easy access to components without requiring tools or complex procedures, maintaining both strength and ease of operation.
3Ease of operation
If the camera decoration assembly uses a simple connection form to facilitate disassembly and assembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the appearance effect diversity may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connection assembly is designed with universal connection interfaces that can accommodate various decoration part configurations and material combinations. This universal design allows the same simple connection mechanism to support diverse appearance effects through different material selections and design variations, maintaining both ease of operation and appearance diversity.

AI summary
An electronic device comprises a housing and a camera decoration assembly including a first decoration part and a second decoration. The second decoration part sleeves an outer side surface at an end, outside the housing, of the first decoration part, and an outer edge of the second decoration part extends to an outer surface of the housing, such that in addition to a camera decoration assembly having diverse appearance effects, a size of a hole formed in the housing can be decreased to enhance overall strength of the housing. Moreover, a form of connection between a buckle and a connection assembly facilitates disassembly, decreases occupied space, and can increase flexibility in disassembling the camera decoration assembly.
