Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bags and suitcases for notebook computers lack effective protection for the corners, leading to potential damage upon accidental falls.
Innovation Solution
A corner protection device with opposing corner pads featuring a bottom plate, side wall, and transition wall, including positioning structures and cushioning elements, integrated into a computer bag's inner liner for comprehensive 360° protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If ordinary bags and suitcases are used for carrying notebook computers, then the bags can load the notebook computers, but the corners of the notebook computers are easily damaged when the bags accidentally fall to the ground
Solution Approach 1:
The protection device is divided into multiple independent corner pads, with each corner pad independently protecting a specific corner of the notebook computer. This segmentation allows each corner pad to be optimized for its specific protective function while maintaining overall system reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The corner pads are pre-installed in the bag at positions that correspond to the corners of the notebook computer. The cushioning material is prepared in advance within the corner pads, so that when the bag accidentally falls, the protection is already in place to absorb the impact force before it can reach the notebook computer corners.
2Reliability
If corner pads are added to provide protection, then the protection capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The corner pads are integrated with the bag's inner liner through connection structures such as adhesive layers or magic tape assemblies. This merging of the corner pad assembly with the bag structure reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall device complexity while maintaining the protection function.
Solution Approach 2:
The corner pads serve multiple functions: they provide impact protection for the notebook computer corners, maintain structural stability within the bag, and can be positioned using matching positioning structures. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components.
3Stability of the object's composition
If positioning structures are added to secure corner pads, then the stability is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning structures include matching features such as protrusions and corresponding recesses, or interlocking geometries, that enable the corner pads to self-position and secure themselves within the bag structure without requiring additional fastening operations or complex assembly procedures.

AI summary
A corner protection device includes two corner pads disposed opposite to each other. The corner pad includes a bottom plate and a side wall which are connected, the side wall includes a first wall, a transition wall and a second wall which are connected in sequence, and an inner wall surface of the first wall is perpendicular to an inner wall surface of the second wall; and the bottom plates in the two corner pads are disposed away from each other, and the bottom plates protrude inwardly relative to the inner wall surfaces of the side walls. Corners of a notebook computer can be protected in an all-directional manner at an angle of 360° without a dead angle, thereby greatly reducing the risk of accidental damage to the corners of the notebook computer loaded in the computer bag.
