Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic device housings lack the ability to adjust the angle between the housing and the support assembly, limiting flexibility and usability in various environments and applications.

Innovation Solution

The housing features multiple rotatable support assemblies with non-parallel rotating shafts, allowing for adjustable angles between the support arms and the housing body, enabling flexible positioning and support configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed support frame is mounted on the housing, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability to different environments and applications deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidadaptability to different environments
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The support assembly incorporates rotatable members with non-parallel rotating shafts that enable dynamic adjustment of the support arm angle relative to the housing. This dynamic mechanism allows the same structure to maintain stability while adapting to different positioning requirements, resolving the contradiction between fixed stability and environmental adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If a fixed-angle support assembly is used, then the manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation and positioning flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidpositioning flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support assembly uses rotatable members connected through non-parallel rotating shafts, allowing the support arm to be adjusted to different angles during operation. This dynamic design maintains reasonable manufacturing simplicity while significantly improving positioning flexibility and ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A housing includes a housing body, and at least two support assemblies mounted on a side of the housing body and spaced from each other. Each support assembly includes a first rotating member rotatably mounted on the same side of the housing body, and a second rotating member rotatably mounted on the first rotating member. A rotating shaft of the second rotating member is not parallel to the rotating shaft of the first rotating member. An angle between the housing body and the second rotating member can be changed via rotating the second rotating member.
