Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If adhesive is used to fix the electronic device on the display stand, then the fixation is achieved, but the backside material of the electronic device is damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation reliabilityVSAvoidmaterial damage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the chemical adhesive bonding system with a mechanical locking system. The locking structure includes a locking piece that can be inserted into a locking groove on the electronic device, providing secure fixation through mechanical interlocking rather than chemical adhesion, thus avoiding damage to the device surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The display stand is divided into separate functional components: a base, a support column, and a display platform with integrated locking mechanisms. This segmentation allows the locking function to be independently implemented without requiring adhesive application to the device surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If coupling structures are added to increase anti-theft effect, then the anti-theft capability is improved, but the design complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-theft capabilityVSAvoiddesign complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the anti-theft locking function with the device fixation function into a single integrated locking mechanism. The locking piece serves dual purposes: securing the electronic device to the display stand and preventing unauthorized removal, thereby improving anti-theft capability without adding separate complex locking structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The locking structure is designed to perform multiple functions: mechanical fixation of the device, anti-theft security, and ease of installation/removal. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, simplifying the overall design while maintaining high anti-theft capability.

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

3Use of energy by moving object

If transmission wire is not integrated in the display stand, then the power supply connection is achieved, but the transmission wire is in a mess

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply connectionVSAvoidwire management
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the transmission wire into the hollow interior space of the display stand's support column. The wire is nested within the structural framework of the stand, running through the hollow channel from the base to the display platform, thereby eliminating external messy wiring while maintaining power supply connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A mobile electronic device fixing module includes a mobile electronic device and a base. The mobile electronic device includes an assembling interface and a first transmission terminal group. A ring-shaped groove is formed in the assembling interface. The base is assembled with the assembling interface. The base includes plural rotary fixing slices and a second transmission terminal group. The second transmission terminal group corresponds to the first transmission terminal group. When the base is assembled with the assembling interface and the plural rotary fixing slices are rotated, the plural rotary fixing slices are inserted into the ring-shaped groove to be in a locked state, or the plural rotary fixing slices are removed from the ring-shaped groove to be in an unlocked state. When the base is assembled with the assembling interface, the second transmission terminal group is electrically connected with the first transmission terminal group.
