Traceable Card Holder With Detachable Tracker And Elastic Clamp
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional card holders lack traceability functionality, making it difficult to retrieve lost items, resulting in potential losses for the owner.
Innovation Solution
A traceable card holder design incorporating a tracker, such as an AirTag, integrated with a clamp mechanism and detachable cover components, allowing for independent or combined use with the card holder.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a tracker is integrated into the card holder, then the traceability function is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tracker is integrated with the card holder by providing a mounting structure where the tracker can be detachably mounted on the card holder body. The mounting structure includes a mounting plate with mounting holes and fixing components such as screws or snap-fit mechanisms, merging the tracking function with the card holder while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The card holder is divided into functional modules: the main card holder body, detachable top cover components, detachable bottom cover components, and a separately mountable tracker. This segmentation allows the tracker to be added or removed independently without affecting the core card holder functionality, thus improving traceability while managing complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If detachable cover components are provided, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The card holder is segmented into a main body, detachable top cover components, and detachable bottom cover components. Each cover component can be independently attached or removed, allowing users to customize the card holder configuration based on their needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable cover components are designed with universal mounting features that can accommodate different card types and configurations. The covers can serve multiple functions including protection, customization, and integration with the tracker, thereby improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables the retrieval of lost card holders, preventing losses and allowing the tracker to be used independently or with the card holder, enhancing security and convenience.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic band is connected respectively with the first clamp plate and the second clamp plate, and the elastic band is used to drive the first clamp plate and the second clamp plate to move towards each other for clamping
Implementation Method 2
one side of the substrate which is away from the mounting holes is provided with the springs, and the springs abut against the top cover, the surface of the substrate which is away from the first lining plate is provided with the pushing block
