Three-Direction Sliding Fixing Support for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fixing supports for electronic components are limited in their adjustability, typically allowing fixation in only one or two directions, making them ineffective for components of different brands, specifications, or dimensions, leading to material waste and increased costs, especially in environments with vibrations where components may detach.
Innovation Solution
A fixing support comprising three independent sliding units with slide grooves and limiting elements, allowing for linear movement in three perpendicular directions, which can be adjusted to securely fix electronic components in place, enhancing flexibility and reducing adjustment time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixing support allows adjustment in only one or two directions, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different electronic components is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing support is divided into multiple independent adjusting mechanisms, each responsible for one direction of adjustment. The first adjusting mechanism adjusts along the first direction, the second along the second direction, and the third along the third direction. This segmentation allows each mechanism to be simple while the overall system achieves multi-directional adjustability and high adaptability to different electronic components.
2Productivity
If a fixing support is fixed at specific positions, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adjustment time increases when installing components of different specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing support employs three dynamic adjusting mechanisms that enable continuous position adjustment along three different directions. Unlike fixed-position supports, these mechanisms allow the support to adapt its position dynamically according to the specific dimensions and requirements of different electronic components, thereby reducing installation time and improving productivity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the fixing support uses multiple adjustable mechanisms in three directions, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex adjustment function is segmented into three independent and simple adjusting mechanisms, each handling one direction. This segmentation reduces the complexity of individual mechanisms while achieving comprehensive multi-directional adjustability, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
4Reliability
If electronic components are not securely fixed, then the ease of installation is improved, but the reliability under vibration conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing support provides localized secure fixation at three independent directions through its three adjusting mechanisms. Each mechanism can be independently adjusted and fixed to provide stable support against vibrations from different directions, ensuring reliability while maintaining ease of installation through simple adjustment operations.

AI summary
A fixing support includes first, second and third fixing units and limiting elements. The first fixing unit has a first slide groove extending in first direction. The second fixing unit includes a second-direction fixing portion and a second-direction sliding portion. The second-direction fixing portion has a second slide groove extending in second direction. The second-direction sliding portion is slidably disposed at the second slide groove. The third fixing unit includes a third-direction fixing portion and a third-direction sliding portion. The third-direction fixing portion has a third slide groove extending in third direction. The third-direction sliding portion is slidably disposed at the third slide groove. The limiting elements allow the first, second and third fixing units to slidably connect to each other and allow the first, second and third directions to be linearly independent of each other. An electronic device is further introduced.
