Portable Data Transmitter with Rotatable Slidable Housing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable data transmitting devices often protrude from mobile apparatuses, leading to wobbling or bending issues when connected, which can cause damage, and are not adaptable to devices of varying thicknesses.
Innovation Solution
A portable data transmitting device with a movable portion that includes a rotatable and slidable housing, allowing the second plug connector's distance from the storage portion to be adjusted via rotation and sliding, ensuring secure connection and abutment on mobile apparatuses of different thicknesses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the portable data transmitting device is designed with a fixed L-shaped structure to reduce protruding extent, then the device body can be located on the back cover of the mobile apparatus, but the device cannot adapt to mobile apparatuses of different thicknesses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed L-shaped structure into a dynamic adjustable structure. The distance between the connector and the body can be adjusted through mechanical means (such as telescopic arms or adjustable links), allowing the device to adapt to different mobile apparatus thicknesses while maintaining a compact profile when not in use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by making the distance parameter between the connector and body variable rather than fixed. This allows the structural parameters of the device to be changed according to the specific thickness requirements of different mobile apparatuses, resolving the contradiction between compactness and adaptability.
2Device complexity
If the portable data transmitting device has a fixed distance between connector and body, then the structure is simple, but the device cannot be used for mobile apparatuses of different thicknesses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adjustment mechanisms that allow the distance between connector and body to be modified. This may involve telescopic components, adjustable links, or movable joints that enable the structure to adapt to different thicknesses without requiring multiple fixed-configuration devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the structure between the connector and body into adjustable portions, allowing independent movement or extension. This segmentation enables the distance to be modified while keeping the overall device architecture relatively simple.
3Ease of operation
If the portable data transmitting device protrudes from the mobile apparatus interface, then connection is achieved, but the device is liable to wobbling or being bent that would cause damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by designing support structures (such as the back cover abutment) that prevent wobbling and bending before they can occur. The adjustable distance mechanism ensures proper positioning that preemptively eliminates instability issues during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing support specifically at the back cover interface area, where the device body abuts to prevent wobbling. This localized support structure addresses the stability issue at the critical connection point without requiring changes to the entire device structure.

AI summary
A portable data transmitting device, including a storage portion and a movable portion, is disclosed. The storage portion includes a fixed housing including a first side and a second side, and a first plug connector disposed on the first side. The movable portion includes a rotatable housing that is rotatably disposed on the second side of the fixed housing, a slidable housing that includes a first side and is slidably disposed on the rotatable housing, and a second plug connector disposed on the first side of the slidable housing. Thereby, the portable data transmitting device can be attached to portable apparatuses with different thicknesses, and can abut on the portable apparatus so as not to wobble or be bent easily.
