Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional waterproof cases for terminal devices restrict divers from taking long-distance selfies or using the device in special scenarios underwater, as they require manual handling and cannot be controlled remotely.

Innovation Solution

A waterproof handheld device with a telescopic rod and a control module, allowing the terminal device to be kept at a distance from the diver's hand, using wireless communication modules to control the device underwater.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a waterproof case is used to protect the terminal device underwater, then the terminal device is protected from water, but the diver must hold the device continuously and cannot take long-distance selfies or use it in special scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewaterproof protectionVSAvoidoperational flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical direct-control system with a wireless communication system. The control module in the waterproof case communicates wirelessly with the terminal device, eliminating the need for physical connection and manual handling. This allows the diver to control the terminal device remotely while maintaining waterproof protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a control module as an intermediary between the diver and the terminal device. The control module receives wireless signals from the terminal device and transmits control commands, enabling indirect control while maintaining waterproof separation. This intermediary allows operational flexibility without compromising waterproof protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the terminal device is held close to the hand for control, then direct control is possible, but long-distance selfies and special scenario usage are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedirect controlVSAvoidusage scenario flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a telescopic rod with adjustable length, allowing the distance between the diver's hand and the terminal device to be dynamically changed. This dynamic adjustment enables the diver to extend the device for long-distance selfies or keep it close for detailed operations, providing versatility across different usage scenarios while maintaining control capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed-length rod is used to extend the terminal device, then long-distance selfies are possible, but the device cannot be adjusted for different usage scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedistance adjustmentVSAvoidstructure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the rod into multiple telescopic segments that can be extended or retracted independently. This segmentation allows the rod to achieve variable lengths through simple telescopic motion of individual segments, providing adaptability for different usage scenarios without requiring a overly complex mechanical structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The telescopic rod employs a nested structure where smaller diameter rod segments are inserted within larger segments. This nesting arrangement allows the rod to compactly store when retracted and extend to longer lengths when needed, achieving adaptability while minimizing the retracted size and overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A waterproof handheld device includes a handle including a control module and a telescopic rod including tubes. The tubes include a first tube connected with a waterproof case configured to receive a terminal device. The first tube is an outermost tube or an innermost tube. When the first tube is the innermost tube, the outermost tube is connected with the handle. When the first tube is the outermost tube, the innermost tube is connected with the handle. The first tube is connected with a first wireless communication module. The first wireless communication module is connected with the control module through a communication wire arranged in the telescopic rod. The first wireless communication module is communicated with a second wireless communication module connected with the terminal device or the first wireless communication module is communicated with a third wireless communication module of the terminal device.
