Universal Charging Base with Interchangeable Transmission Modules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charging devices are designed specifically for particular portable mobile communication devices, leading to increased purchase costs for consumers when they acquire new devices with different shapes and specifications, as they require separate charging solutions.
Innovation Solution
A charging device comprising a base, a supporter, and a transmission module with universal constraining, restraining, and engaging structures, allowing the supporter to be replaced based on the device's shape, enabling the charging device to accommodate various portable mobile communication devices, and the transmission module to be detachably connected for charging and data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a charging device is designed specifically for a particular portable mobile communication device, then the charging function is reliable and stable, but the consumer has to buy a new charging device for each new device, increasing purchase cost
Solution Approach 1:
The charging device is divided into separate functional modules: a base unit and interchangeable transmission modules. Each transmission module can be detached and replaced based on the specific charging needs, allowing the base unit to remain universal while adapting to different device types through module substitution.
Solution Approach 2:
The base unit is designed with universal accommodating structures that can hold multiple types of transmission modules. This allows a single base unit to serve multiple charging functions across different portable device types, eliminating the need for separate charging devices for each device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a charging device is designed to accommodate multiple device shapes and specifications, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of creating a single complex charging device that accommodates all device types, the system segments functionality into a simple universal base unit and specialized transmission modules. The complexity is distributed to interchangeable modules rather than being concentrated in the base unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission modules are designed to nest within the base unit's accommodating structure. When not in use, modules can be stored inside the base unit, creating a compact configuration. During use, modules are inserted into the base unit, providing adaptability without permanently increasing the base unit's complexity.

AI summary
A charging device applied to a portable mobile communication device is disclosed in the present invention. The charging device includes a base, a supporter and a transmission module. The supporter and the transmission module are disposed on the base in a detachable manner. The transmission module includes a first connector, a second connector and a transmission cable. The first connector is disposed on an opening on the supporter for electrically connecting to a terminal of the portable mobile communication device. The second connector disposed inside an accommodating structure of the base for electrically connecting to an external electronic device. Two ends of the transmission cable are respectively connected to the first connector and the second connector, so that the external electronic device and the portable mobile communication device can transmit electric power via the transmission module.
