Storage Device Sheath Terminal Interface Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flash disks with a single connection interface are limited in their applicability due to the variety of connectors found in electronic devices, making it difficult to broaden their application range.
Innovation Solution
A storage device design that incorporates a sheath member with terminal sets, allowing the storage module to be sheathed and exposed terminal sets to form different connection interfaces, enabling compatibility with various devices by converting between different connection interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flash disk has only one connection interface, then the structure is simple, but the applicability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The flash disk is designed with multiple connection interfaces (first connection interface and second connection interface) integrated into a single device, allowing it to connect to different types of electronic devices. The sheath member contains terminal sets that can be selectively exposed to form different connection interfaces, enabling the flash disk to adapt to various connector types without requiring separate devices for each interface type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple terminal sets are integrated into one flash disk, then the application range is broadened, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sheath member is designed to contain multiple terminal sets within its structure. The terminal sets are nested inside the sheath member, and through selective exposure of different terminal sets, multiple connection interfaces are formed. This nesting approach allows multiple interfaces to be integrated in a compact manner without significantly increasing the overall device volume or complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection interfaces are segmented into different terminal sets (first terminal set and second terminal set) that can be independently exposed or hidden. The sheath member enables selective exposure of specific terminal sets based on the required connection type, allowing the device to present only the necessary interfaces in different usage scenarios, thereby managing complexity through functional segmentation.

AI summary
A storage device including a storage module and a sheath member is provided. The storage module has a substrate, a first terminal set and a second terminal set, and the first and the second terminal sets are disposed on opposite sides of the substrate. The sheath member has an opening and a third terminal set. A portion of the third terminal set is exposed out of the sheath member. At least a portion of the storage module is sheathed into the sheath member, and the first terminal set is exposed out of the sheath member through the opening. The second terminal set is electrically connected to the third terminal set, and an connection interface is formed by the first terminal set exposed out of the sheath member and the portion of the third terminal set exposed out of the sheath member.
