Split Tablet Cover With Rotating Magnetic Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tablet computer protective covers with integrated support frames become cumbersome when not needed and are inconvenient for rotating the device between horizontal and vertical positions, as they often require detachment or forced magnetic attraction for alignment.
Innovation Solution
A split design protective cover with a rotatable assembly component system, where the cover body and support frame can be separated and recombined, utilizing magnetic attraction and annular clamping grooves for easy alignment and rotation without disassembly, allowing the support frame to be manually detached when not needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the support frame is integrated with the cover body, then the structure is stable and easy to manufacture, but the support frame becomes cumbersome when not needed and reduces flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The protective cover is divided into separate components: the cover body and the support frame, which can be independently manufactured and assembled. This segmentation allows the support frame to be detached when not needed, reducing complexity and improving flexibility, while maintaining structural stability when assembled.
2Ease of operation
If the cover body is detached from the support frame for rotation, then the rotation operation is simplified, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical connection between the cover body and support frame is replaced with a magnetic attraction system. Magnetic attraction members enable the components to be easily assembled and disassembled without manual fastening, reducing the time and effort required for assembly operations while maintaining secure connection during use.
3Ease of manufacture
If magnetic attraction is used for assembly, then the assembly process is simplified and labor-saving, but external force is required for rotation and alignment
Solution Approach 1:
Magnetic attraction members serve as an intermediary mechanism that facilitates both the assembly process and the rotation operation. The magnetic field enables automatic alignment during assembly while also providing the necessary attraction force to maintain the cover body and support frame together during rotation, eliminating the need for external alignment forces.
