Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional support stand structures are used, then support function is provided, but the structure becomes complicated and irregular, making repair, maintenance, storage and carrying inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The support stand is divided into multiple independent plates (first plate, second plate, third plate, fourth plate) that can be stacked and separated. Each plate functions as an independent unit, allowing the structure to be compacted into a small stacked form for storage and carrying, while still providing full support functionality when deployed.
Solution Approach 2:
The plates are designed to nest within each other when not in use, with each plate containing or being contained by adjacent plates. This nesting arrangement creates a compact stacked configuration that minimizes storage space while maintaining all functional components intact.
2Ease of repair
If conventional support stand structures are used, then support function is provided, but repair and maintenance become inconvenient due to complicated structure
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the support stand into separate plates connected by simple bent portions, each component can be independently accessed, removed, or replaced. This modular segmentation simplifies maintenance procedures compared to integrated complex structures, as faulty parts can be serviced without disassembling the entire assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The bent portions serve multiple functions: they connect adjacent plates, provide folding capability for inclination adjustment, and act as structural support elements. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, simplifying both the overall structure and maintenance requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the support stand is designed to be compact for storage, then storage and carrying convenience is improved, but the ability to provide multiple inclinations and height adjustment is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The bent portions connecting the plates are designed to be flexible rather than rigid, allowing the plates to fold relative to each other. This dynamic folding capability enables the structure to transition between a compact stacked configuration for storage and multiple extended configurations for different inclinations and heights, adapting to various usage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The support stand utilizes three-dimensional folding along multiple axes through the bent portions. By folding in different dimensions, the structure can achieve various spatial configurations including different inclinations and heights from the same compact base components, maximizing versatility without increasing storage volume.
4Ease of operation
If the support stand structure is simplified for easy storage, then storage convenience is improved, but the height for placing mobile devices may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic folding capability of the bent portions allows the structure to extend to greater heights when deployed, while maintaining a compact form when stored. The same simple stacked structure can achieve multiple height configurations through folding, providing adequate device placement height without compromising storage convenience.

AI summary
A stacked-plate type mobile device support stand includes a support plate, a mobile device abutting plate and a base plate. The support plate and the mobile device abutting plate have a first longitudinal bent portion therebetween, and the base plate has a stopper plate, and the base plate and the stopper plate have a second longitudinal bent portion therebetween, and the base plate and the mobile device abutting plate have a third longitudinal bent portion therebetween. When the stacked-plate type mobile device support stand is folded, the support plate, the mobile device abutting plate, the base plate and the stopper plate are bent into a stacked-plate form by using the first, second and third longitudinal bent portions.
