Solution Overview

Problem

Existing quick release devices for electronic products are inconvenient to assemble and use, particularly in emergency situations, due to their single structure design, which poses safety hazards and results in poor protection strength, leading to easy detachment and damage of electronic products.

Innovation Solution

A quick release device with a rotary tray and buckle system that allows 360° rotation, featuring toggle levers, spring-loaded beads, and a return switch for simplified operation and enhanced stability, enabling one-handed assembly and disassembly, and automatic clamping of the product housing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single structure design is used for the quick release device, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates because two hands are needed for assembly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidassembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The quick release device is divided into multiple functional components: a device body, a rotary tray for connecting the terminal bracket, and a rotary buckle mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, enabling one-handed operation while maintaining manageable overall complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotary buckle mechanism is designed to automatically lock and secure the terminal bracket when rotated into position. The device performs its own securing function through the rotational movement and automatic engagement of the buckle, eliminating the need for a second hand to fasten or secure components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Device complexity

If a single structure design is used for the quick release device, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability deteriorates due to poor protection strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidprotection strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is segmented into multiple protective components including the device body housing, rotary tray, and rotary buckle mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to contribute to the overall protection strength through its specific structural design and function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotary buckle mechanism is designed with inherent security features that automatically engage and lock the terminal bracket in position. This pre-engineered locking mechanism provides protection strength by preventing accidental detachment before any damage can occur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Device complexity

If a single structure design is used for the quick release device, then the device complexity is reduced, but the safety hazard increases due to easy detachment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidsafety hazard
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The quick release device is divided into distinct functional modules including the device body, rotary tray, and rotary buckle. This segmentation allows each module to contribute to safety through dedicated design features, with the rotary buckle specifically engineered to prevent accidental detachment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotary buckle mechanism automatically secures the terminal bracket through its rotational locking action. This self-securing feature eliminates safety hazards by ensuring the bracket remains firmly attached without requiring additional external securing actions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a quick release device, and relates to the technical field of accessories for electronic products. The quick release device includes a device body. A rotary tray is movably disposed at a bottom of the device body, and the rotary tray is used to connect a terminal bracket. A rotary buckle of which one end extends to the bottom of the device body and is fastened to the rotary tray is movably inside the device body, and the device body rotates 360° relative to the rotary buckle and the rotary tray. Through the spring-loaded bead, the device body may rotate 360° for adjustment and positioning, to meet a use requirement of a user. A product housing may be removed by only holding the product housing and toggling the operating rod. Therefore, operations are more simple, and convenience for outdoor sports is improved. Because the buckle II that may be triggered automatically through a button is clamped with the product housing, a procedure of assembling the product housing is further simplified. Because the buckle spring continuously abuts against the buckle crossbar, stability of a connection between the buckle II and the product housing, so that the product is more stable in a use process.
