Mobile Phone Clip With Rotating Base for Orientation Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone clips can only adjust the transverse and vertical angles, as well as pitch, of a mobile phone, but cannot change the orientation angle when used with external equipment like cameras.
Innovation Solution
A mobile phone clip with a clamping member, a supporting member connected through a first rotating assembly for transverse and vertical adjustments, and a base connected through a second rotating assembly for pitch adjustments, along with a third rotating assembly that allows horizontal rotation of the base to change the orientation angle when connected to external equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mobile phone clip is designed with only transverse and vertical conversion capabilities, then the structure remains simple, but the orientation adjustment capability is insufficient when used with external equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile phone clip is divided into multiple independent rotating assemblies: a first rotating assembly for transverse and vertical conversion, a second rotating assembly for pitch angle adjustment, and a third rotating assembly for orientation adjustment. Each assembly handles a specific adjustment function, allowing the system to achieve comprehensive adaptability while maintaining modular simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The base is designed with multi-functionality by integrating both the second rotating assembly (for pitch adjustment) and the third rotating assembly (for orientation adjustment). This allows a single component to provide multiple adjustment capabilities, enhancing versatility without proportionally increasing overall device complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple rotating assemblies are added to enable full-angle adjustments, then the orientation adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first rotating assembly combines both transverse and vertical conversion functions into a single mechanism, while the base merges the second rotating assembly (pitch adjustment) and third rotating assembly (orientation adjustment) into one integrated component. This merging approach reduces the total number of separate assemblies needed to achieve full-angle adjustment capability
3Adaptability or versatility
If the base is made rotatable through the third rotating assembly, then the orientation angle adjustment is enabled, but the structural complexity of the base increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base is designed with dynamic capability through the third rotating assembly, allowing it to rotate horizontally for orientation adjustment. This transforms the base from a static support structure to a dynamic component that can adapt its orientation, enabling full-angle adjustment capability while maintaining operational simplicity
