Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing accommodation cases for electronic devices lack a novel structure that efficiently protects and positions the device for use while allowing easy access and integration with additional components.
Innovation Solution
An accommodation case with a case main body and an opening and closing member that forms an article accommodation portion, featuring a waterproof design and adjustable opening for tilting, along with a locking mechanism for attachment to a stand or wall, accommodating electronic devices and interface adapters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If an accommodation case is designed with a simple structure to reduce manufacturing costs, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but the case lacks integrated functionality for protecting and positioning electronic devices during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated case structure. The case body simultaneously provides protection, positioning, and support functions, while the opening/closing member integrates both access control and stand functionality. This combining of functions reduces the need for separate components, thereby lowering manufacturing costs while maintaining versatile functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The opening/closing member is designed to serve multiple purposes: it acts as a closure to protect the device when not in use, and can be positioned at various angles to function as a stand during use. The case body also accommodates both the electronic device and interface adapters. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, lowering manufacturing complexity and cost.
2Reliability
If the opening and closing member is designed to provide stable positioning and protection, then reliability is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The opening/closing member is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to transition between a closed position for protection and an opened/positioned state for use as a stand. This dynamic capability provides stable positioning during use while maintaining simplicity in the overall structure, avoiding the need for complex locking mechanisms or multiple separate components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the case is designed with integrated stand functionality and adapter accommodation, then adaptability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The case is divided into distinct functional segments: the case body for accommodation and the opening/closing member for positioning and access. The opening/closing member itself can be viewed as segmented, with portions that engage with the case body to provide positioning and portions that form the visible stand surface. This segmentation allows each part to be manufactured independently using standard processes, reducing overall manufacturing complexity while achieving integrated functionality.

AI summary
An accommodation case for an electronic device, includes: a case main body capable of accommodating an electronic device including a display; and an opening and closing member supported on the case main body so as to be openable and closable, and an article accommodation portion that is capable of accommodating at least a part of an article and that has an opening is formed between the opening and closing member and an outer surface of the case main body in a state in which the opening and closing member is closed.
