Tablet Protective Housing With Sliding Stand for Stable Tilt Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic tablet devices lack the ability to stand independently and maintain a stable tilting angle, leading to usability issues and limited functionality, which affects human health and market competitiveness.
Innovation Solution
A protecting and supporting device with slideways and sliding rails that allow for relative sliding and rotating connections, featuring a positioning mechanism with pulleys and reset springs, enabling the electronic tablet device to tilt and stand at various angles, and a supporting flap for enhanced stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic tablet device is stood on both ends of the protection cover, then the device can stand independently, but dumping is easily caused and the tilting angle is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static protection cover into a dynamic support structure by introducing sliding connections between the protection housing and support base. This allows the support base to move along guide rails and adjust its position dynamically, enabling the device to maintain stability across various tilting angles while preventing dumping through the sliding mechanism's constrained motion paths
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimensional degree of freedom by implementing sliding connections that allow movement along guide rails. This transforms the traditional fixed-angle support into a multi-position support system where the support base can slide along the rails to achieve different stable positions, effectively expanding the tilting angle range while maintaining reliability through the guided sliding mechanism
2Adaptability or versatility
If a sliding connection is provided between the protection cover and electronic tablet device, then the device can tilt, but the tilting angle is restricted and dumping is easily caused
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a sliding shaft as an intermediary component between the protection housing and support base. This sliding shaft engages with the guide rails to mediate the interaction between moving and stationary parts, enabling controlled tilting motion while the rail-s sliding shaft mechanism prevents uncontrolled dumping by constraining the motion to specific guided paths
