Telescopic Accessory for Electronic Device with Secure Clamping Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing accessories for electronic devices are difficult to assemble and prone to separation over time due to individual bonding of deforming parts to the connecting part, leading to durability issues.
Innovation Solution
A telescopic accessory design featuring a cone, inverted cone, clamping ring, and neck cylinder, with a protrusion and screw mechanism for secure assembly and reduced risk of separation, along with covers for attachment to electronic devices, allowing easy assembly and long-term stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the first deforming part and second deforming part are individually bonded to the connecting part, then the accessory can be assembled, but the assembly is difficult and the parts are prone to separation over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the first deforming part and second deforming part into a single integrated deforming part that is bonded to the connecting part as one unit. This merging eliminates the need for separate bonding operations for each deforming part, significantly simplifying the assembly process while ensuring stronger, more reliable attachment that resists separation over time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the deforming part into a first deforming part and second deforming part that can be independently formed and then assembled together with the connecting part. This segmentation allows for more flexible manufacturing and assembly, enabling the parts to be produced separately and then joined through a simplified bonding process that improves both ease of assembly and durability.
2Device complexity
If the deforming parts are individually bonded to the connecting part, then the accessory structure is achieved, but the assembly process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the first deforming part and second deforming part into a single integrated component that is bonded to the connecting part as one unit. This reduces the number of separate bonding operations required, significantly decreasing assembly time while maintaining the necessary structural complexity for the accessory to function properly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary action by pre-forming the deforming parts with specific geometries that facilitate their integration with the connecting part. The deforming parts are prepared in advance with bonding surfaces and structural features that enable quick, efficient assembly, reducing the overall assembly time while achieving the required structural complexity.
