Stopping Mechanism for Removable Device Impact Dispersion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing protection mechanisms for removable peripherals in electronic devices fail to prevent short circuits and device ejection during external impacts, as they directly transmit forces to the door panel, leading to damage and dislodgment.
Innovation Solution
A stopping mechanism with a stopping member, action member, and clipping member that creates a tilt angle relation between the removable device and the machine body, dispersing external forces and maintaining electrical contact.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a movable door panel or fixed door panel is used to press against the removable device, then the opening is closed and protection is provided, but the external force is directly transmitted to the door panel causing damage and dislodgment during impact
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a stopping mechanism comprising a stopping member, action member, and clipping member that acts as an intermediary between the removable device and the door panel. During impact, this mechanism absorbs and disperses the external force through mechanical action (the action member moving linearly and the clipping member rotating to press against the stopping member), preventing direct force transmission to the door panel while maintaining reliable protection of the removable device.
2Reliability
If a movable door panel or fixed door panel is used to press against the removable device, then the opening is closed and protection is provided, but electrical signal short circuit occurs between the removable device and machine body during impact
Solution Approach 1:
The stopping mechanism is pre-configured within the machine body to counteract impact forces before they can cause harmful effects. The stopping member is fixedly disposed in advance, and upon impact, the action member and clipping member immediately engage to prevent the removable device from moving, thereby preventing electrical signal short circuits between the removable device and machine body before such harmful contact can occur.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the removable device directly presses against the door panel, then retention is achieved, but gravitational acceleration during impact increases force on the door panel causing destruction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the retention function into multiple independent components: the clipping member provides rotational clamping action, the action member provides linear movement to engage the stopping member, and the stopping member provides the fixed stopping point. This segmentation distributes the force of gravitational acceleration and impact across multiple components rather than concentrating it on the door panel, reducing the force on the door panel while maintaining stable retention of the removable device.

AI summary
A stopping mechanism is disposed on a machine body and a removable device. The stopping mechanism includes a rectilinearly moving action member, a rotationally moving clipping member, and a stopping member fixedly disposed on the machine body, in which the action member pushes and presses against the clipping member so that the clipping member rotates to a holder position. The action member presses against the stopping member fixedly disposed on the machine body through a tilt angle relation at the holder position, so that an accelerating force generated by the removable device under impact is transferred to the machine body, thus dispersing the impact force.
