Solution Approach 1:

The mounting member is designed with specific deformation amount parameters (0.015mm to 9.30mm) to transform the rigid structure into a controlled elastic structure. This parameter change allows the mounting member to absorb impact energy through elastic deformation while maintaining adequate fixation strength, thereby reducing damage probability during drops or collisions.

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting member is pre-designed with elastic buffering capability through its material selection and structural configuration. Before any drop or collision occurs, the mounting member is already configured to provide elastic cushioning, converting potential rigid contact damage into elastic buffer protection, thus preventing component damage in advance.
