Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile phone covers with supports are not convenient to carry in scenarios where there is no pocket or fixed flat platform, limiting their usage.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device protective cover with a detachable support and connecting band, featuring a magnetic assembly for easy attachment and detachment, and a locking assembly for secure positioning, allowing the mobile phone to be placed on non-flat surfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the support is detachably connected to the protective cover body, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of attachment and detachmentVSAvoidconnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The support is designed to be dynamically attachable and detachable through magnetic assembly, allowing users to flexibly connect or separate the support from the protective cover body based on usage needs, thereby improving operational ease while maintaining connection stability through proper magnetic force design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the support is mounted on the protective cover body, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage scenariosVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is segmented into detachable components that can be independently mounted on the protective cover body, allowing the system to adapt to different usage scenarios (such as hands-free viewing or carrying) without requiring a completely complex integrated structure for all possible functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the connecting band forms a ring structure, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of substance increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprevention of lossVSAvoidmaterial usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting band is designed as a ring structure that serves multiple functions: it connects the support to the protective cover body, prevents loss of either component, and can be used in various attachment configurations, thereby providing operational ease and loss prevention without requiring excessive material consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

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

Enables the mobile phone to be securely positioned on various surfaces, including non-flat objects, while allowing users to free their hands, and provides easy storage and handling of the support.

Implementation Method 1

a first magnetic assembly is disposed between the protective cover body and the support. The support is detachably connected to the protective cover body through the first magnetic assembly.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetic attraction: Magnetism

Implementation Method 2

A second magnetic assembly and/or a buckle assembly is disposed between the first end of the connecting band and the second end of the connecting band. The first end of the connecting band is connected or separated from the second end of the connecting band through the second magnetic assembly and/or the buckle assembly.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetic force: Magnetism

AI summary

An electronic device protective cover includes a protective cover body, a support, and a connecting band. The electronic device protective cover has an ingenious structural design. The protective cover body and the support are connected by the connecting band, so that the support is not easily lost when the support is separated from the protective cover body. When the support is mounted on the protective cover body, a first end and a second end of the connecting band overlap each other and enclose to form a ring structure. When two hands of a user are occupied during riding a bicycle, pushing a cart, or carrying things, and when there is no fixed flat platform to place a mobile phone, the mobile phone is allowed to be hung on a rod or the wrist through the connecting band.
