Rotatable HDMI Plug Body Avoids Adjacent Connector Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing HDMI plugs often interfere with adjacent connectors or device parts due to their design, leading to aesthetic issues and usability challenges, particularly when multiple interfaces are closely packed.
Innovation Solution
The HDMI plug features a rotatable insulation housing that allows the plug body to be rotated relative to the HDMI interface, eliminating interference without the need for additional cables, and is designed with a compact, integrated structure using gear meshing or belt convey connections for smooth operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the HDMI plug uses an integrated plastic case structure, then the manufacturing is simple and compact, but the plug body interferes with adjacent connectors or device parts
Solution Approach 1:
The plug body is divided into a fixed part and a rotatable part, allowing the plug to be segmented into different functional components that can move independently to avoid interference with adjacent parts
2Object-affected harmful factors
If additional cables are added to resolve interference, then plug interference is eliminated, but the appearance becomes ugly and convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The plug incorporates a rotatable mechanism that allows dynamic adjustment of the plug body position, enabling the plug to adapt its orientation to avoid interference with adjacent parts while maintaining a clean integrated appearance
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the plug body is made larger to avoid interference, then interference with adjacent parts is reduced, but the compact form factor is lost
Solution Approach 1:
Rather than increasing size, the invention uses a rotatable mechanism that allows the existing compact plug body to dynamically change its orientation, effectively avoiding interference without increasing volume
