Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional extraction devices for electronic devices have complex multi-piece handles that occupy space and are prone to malfunction, leading to operational inconveniences.

Innovation Solution

An extraction device with a one-piece handle integrating a draw bar and a hook, featuring a pulling and gripping portion, where the handle slides along an unlocking direction to disengage the hook from a limiting recessed portion, allowing for easy detachment and preventing collision damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a multi-piece handle design is used for the extraction device, then the user can hold on to it for engaging or disengaging, but the structure becomes more complex and occupies significant space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple handle components (draw bar, hook, and locking mechanism) into a single integrated handle structure. This merging eliminates the need for separate multi-piece components while maintaining the gripping and engaging functions, thereby reducing structural complexity and space occupation while preserving ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If a multi-piece handle design is used for the extraction device, then the user can hold on to it for engaging or disengaging, but it may easily lead to malfunctions or inconveniences in operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidoperational reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating the draw bar, hook, and locking mechanism into a single handle structure, the patent reduces the number of interfaces and connection points between components. This integration minimizes potential failure points and eliminates malfunctions that could arise from misalignment or loosening of multiple separate pieces, thereby improving operational reliability while maintaining ease of use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If the handle is designed to allow easy removal, then the extraction device can be extracted from the electronic device, but the hook may collide with the casing causing damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of removalVSAvoidcollision damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a limiting member with a limiting recessed portion that预先 (in advance) guides and restricts the movement trajectory of the hook during the extraction process. This preliminary action ensures that the hook follows a controlled path and prevents it from colliding with the electronic device casing, thereby enabling easy removal while avoiding damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electronic device with an extraction device and an extraction device thereof are provided. The extraction device includes a housing and a handle. A front side of the housing has two ends. The two ends have a pivot and a limiting member, respectively. The limiting member has at least one limiting recessed portion that has a draw bar and a hook. Two ends of the draw bar have a long groove and a pulling and gripping portion, respectively. The pulling and gripping portion is connected to the hook, the pivot is disposed in the long groove, and the hook can engage in the at least one limiting recessed portion along a sliding direction to be in an engaged state. The handle in the engaged state can slide along an unlocking direction so to depart from the at least one limiting recessed portion to be in an unengaged state.
