Direct Plug-In Power Bank Connector Locking and Storage Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing direct plug-in power banks face issues with unstable connector installation, leading to poor circuit contact and inconvenience in storing and managing the output connector, which can result in loss and damage.
Innovation Solution
A direct plug-in power bank design featuring a power bank body with a movable restricting member and elastic hooks that securely attach and detach the output connector, combined with a protective cover for safe storage, ensuring stable electrical connections and preventing connector loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the output connector is directly inserted and installed on the power output socket without any restricting structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the stability of the installation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The movable restricting member is designed to be slidable along the casing, transitioning between a locked position (where it restricts the output connector) and an unlocked position (where the connector can be removed). This dynamic mechanism provides stable installation during use while maintaining simplicity in design.
2Volume of moving object
If the output connector is small in size to improve portability, then the ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in storing the removed connector
Solution Approach 1:
The protective cover contains an accommodating groove specifically designed to store the output connector when detached. The connector nests within the protective cover structure, providing a dedicated storage space that prevents loss and damage while maintaining the compact size of the connector itself.
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 solution provides stable and reliable electrical connections, improves user experience by preventing connector detachment during mobile phone separation, and offers a protective cover for safe storage of the output connector, reducing the risk of loss and damage.
Implementation Method 1
the power bank body further includes an elastic hook. The output connector further includes a second restricting portion. The elastic hook cooperates with the second restricting portion to form a hook restricting structure.
