Rotating Camera Support Case for Lighter Phone Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone protective cases with integrated camera supports and camera protection mechanisms result in increased weight and aesthetic compromise, leading to carrying inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A mobile phone protective case with a rotating support mechanism, featuring a removable camera support assembly comprising an installation base and a hinge-connected support, allowing the support to rotate and protect the camera when closed and provide support when opened, with modular components for easy replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the support and camera protection mechanisms are integrated into different parts, then the protective functions are achieved, but the overall weight of the case increases and carrying convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera protection mechanism and the support mechanism into a single integrated assembly. The support structure is designed to rotate and open/close to protect the camera, merging two separate protective functions into one component system, thereby reducing overall case weight while maintaining both protective functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure serves multiple functions: it provides support for the mobile phone when opened and simultaneously protects the camera when closed. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate camera protection mechanisms, reducing weight while achieving comprehensive protection.
2Reliability
If the support and camera protection mechanisms are integrated into different parts, then the protective functions are achieved, but the aesthetic appearance of the case deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the camera protection and support mechanisms into a single integrated assembly, the patent creates a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing case design. The unified structure eliminates the need for multiple separate components, improving the overall appearance while maintaining protective functionality.
3Ease of repair
If the camera support assembly is made removable and modular, then the ease of replacement and cost reduction are achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the camera support assembly into separable modules that can be easily removed and replaced. The hinge connection allows the support to be detached from the main case body, enabling users to replace only the damaged support assembly rather than the entire case, thereby facilitating easy repair while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.
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
Reduces overall case weight and cost by enabling modular replacement of damaged parts, enhancing usability and aesthetics while maintaining functionality.
Implementation Method 1
the support is rotationally connected to the installation base through a hinge
Implementation Method 2
a clamping block is disposed next to the slot, and the rotating shaft is installed in the slot after the clamping block is clamped with an opening of the pressing plate
