Portable Device Stand With Pivoting Frame and Swivel Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile device supports are limited in their ability to provide stable and adjustable support for portable electronic devices in various situations, often requiring users to hold the device with one hand, which is inconvenient and leads to fatigue, and most existing supports are only suitable for flat surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A fixing device comprising a base with a flip frame and swivel members that can pivot and rotate to provide adjustable support, allowing the device to be securely held and used in different positions, including non-planar surfaces, by utilizing a pivoting unit and rotating seats for enhanced stability and adjustability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional mobile device supports are used, then the device can be supported on flat surfaces, but the user still needs to hold the device with one hand, leading to inconvenience and fatigue
Solution Approach 1:
The support device incorporates movable and adjustable components including swivel members that can rotate relative to the base, and a flip frame that can pivot between different positions. These dynamic elements allow the support structure to adapt to different usage scenarios while maintaining stability, eliminating the need for hand-holding during operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mobile device supports are used, then support is provided on flat surfaces, but the supports cannot be used on various situations including non-planar surfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The swivel members are designed to rotate and adjust to different angles and positions, allowing the support device to adapt to various surfaces including non-planar surfaces. The flip frame can pivot to different configurations, providing versatility across different usage situations without requiring multiple separate devices
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is divided into modular components including the base, swivel members, and flip frame with holding portion. Each component can independently adjust or move, allowing the overall structure to adapt to different surfaces and situations while keeping individual component complexity manageable
3Adaptability or versatility
If the swivel members are fixed to the base, then the structure is simple, but the adjustable range and stability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The swivel members are designed with rotational capability relative to the base, allowing them to adjust to different angles and positions. This dynamic adjustment mechanism significantly expands the adjustable range of the support device while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through the use of basic rotational joints
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device provides stable and adjustable support for portable electronic devices, allowing users to operate them comfortably in various situations without fatigue, with the ability to adjust the swivel members' angle to accommodate different user positions and actions, ensuring the device remains securely fixed.
Implementation Method 1
the flip frame is pivoted to the main body through a pivoting unit
Implementation Method 2
the swivel member can rotate relative to the main body to approach or move away from the main body
Implementation Method 3
the swivel members can rotate synchronously with the rotating seats and the corresponding members, so that the swivel member can pivot along the rotation trajectory of the rotating seat
