Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing grip devices for portable electronic devices are inconvenient to operate and do not provide stable and comfortable holding.
Innovation Solution
A grip device comprising a base, first and second members, a plate, and a grip with finger holes, where the members and plate components are designed to slide, pivot, and rotate to facilitate stable and comfortable grip through various mechanical interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple loop portion is used for gripping, then the device structure is simple, but the gripping stability and comfort are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The grip device is divided into multiple functional segments: a base portion attached to the electronic device, a plate portion with locking mechanism, and a grip portion with finger holes. These segments are connected through sliding and pivoting interfaces, allowing each to perform its specific function while contributing to overall gripping stability and comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The grip device incorporates dynamic elements including a plate that slides back and forth relative to the base, and a grip portion that rotates relative to the plate. These dynamic capabilities allow the device to adapt to different gripping positions and angles, enhancing comfort while maintaining structural integrity through controlled motion ranges.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a sliding plate with locking mechanism is added, then the gripping stability is improved, but the operation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is designed to engage and disengage automatically through the sliding motion of the plate. When the plate slides to a specific position, the locking protrusion on the plate naturally aligns with and engages the locking hole, providing self-locking functionality that maintains gripping stability without requiring additional manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The plate acts as an intermediary element between the base and the grip portion. It provides a sliding connection that allows controlled movement while the locking mechanism ensures stable positioning. This intermediary structure mediates between the need for stability and the need for operational flexibility.
3Ease of operation
If multiple members with sliding and pivoting capabilities are incorporated, then the gripping comfort is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The grip device combines multiple functional elements into an integrated structure: the base portion, plate portion, and grip portion are merged through sliding and pivoting connections. This merging allows the device to provide multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment capabilities while maintaining a compact and unified overall structure that does not excessively increase complexity.
