Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone holders require additional components for assembly, leading to resource wastage and inefficient production due to the need for separate clamp portions that expand and collapse.
Innovation Solution
A slide type mobile phone holder design where a first and second coupling portion with sliding grooves and hooks interact with a spring member to clamp a mobile phone, eliminating the need for extra assembly components by allowing the clamp portions to be easily assembled and adjusted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If additional fasteners and components are used to assemble clamp portions, then the structural stability is improved, but the resource consumption and production complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into the spring member itself. The spring member simultaneously provides the expanding/collapsing mechanism, the coupling function between clamp portions, and the clamping force generation. This eliminates the need for separate fasteners and additional components, reducing resource consumption while maintaining structural stability through the integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring member is designed as a multi-functional component that performs multiple roles: it acts as the expansion/collapse actuator, serves as the coupling element between first and second clamp portions, and provides the clamping force. This universal component replaces what would traditionally require multiple separate parts, thereby reducing material usage and production complexity.
2Reliability
If additional fasteners and components are used to assemble clamp portions, then the assembly stability is improved, but the production efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the fastening function into the spring member itself, the patent eliminates multiple assembly steps involving separate fasteners. The spring member's inherent elastic properties provide self-retention and coupling capabilities, simplifying the assembly process to fewer steps while maintaining assembly stability through the spring's mechanical interlocking design.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring member performs self-retention and self-coupling through its elastic deformation characteristics. When the clamp portions are assembled, the spring member automatically engages and secures itself without requiring additional fasteners or complex assembly procedures, thereby improving production efficiency while maintaining assembly reliability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used for clamp portions, then the clamping functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the coupling mechanism and the actuating mechanism into a single spring member component. This integration reduces the total number of parts in the device while preserving the essential clamping functionality. The spring member's ability to expand and collapse provides the necessary adaptability for different clamping scenarios without requiring a complex multi-component system.
