Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic product protective cases lack the ability to rotate, limiting their use scenarios and application range, as users often need to flip screens or use devices beyond a specific angle range.
Innovation Solution
A turntable structure with a base plate and a handheld ring, featuring clamping portions with recesses and buckling rods, allowing the base plate to rotate and rebound for secure positioning, enabling the electronic product to be used at various angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the ferrule device is made fixed and non-rotatable, then the structure is simple and stable, but the use scenarios are limited and cannot meet traveling requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is designed to rotate relative to the protective case body, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic one. The rotation mechanism allows the base plate to change its angular position, enabling the electronic product to be used at different angles and orientations, thus expanding use scenarios while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through the use of a hinge connection and positioning protrusions
Solution Approach 2:
The protective case is divided into distinct functional components: the protective case body, the rotatable base plate, and the positioning protrusions. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently - the body provides protection, the base plate enables rotation, and the protrusions provide positioning - thereby achieving versatility without excessive complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If the base plate is made rotatable with clamping portions, then the application range is enlarged, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping portions with elastic deformation capability automatically engage with positioning grooves on the protective case body when the base plate rotates to a positioned state. This self-servicing mechanism eliminates the need for additional locking actuators or complex fastening systems, as the elastic deformation of the clamping portions provides automatic positioning and securing, thereby expanding application range while controlling device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping portions utilize elastic deformation as a key parameter change to achieve the clamping function. By designing the clamping portions with elastic properties, they can deform during rotation and then rebound to secure the base plate at positioned angles, providing a simple yet effective mechanism for enhancing application range without significantly increasing device complexity
