Universal Mobile Phone Holder for Multi-Model Testing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phone testing solutions are product-specific and costly, making them unsuitable for after-sales testing, as each type of mobile phone requires a unique tester setup, which is not adaptable for different models.
Innovation Solution
A mobile phone testing apparatus with a phone holder featuring a base plate and adjustable rest structure, including support elements and blocks, that can accommodate various mobile phone sizes and shapes, allowing for easy adjustment and secure positioning without the need for specific adapters, using elastic materials and suction cups for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a product-specific phone holder is used for each mobile phone model, then the mobile phone can be securely held and tested with high precision, but the device complexity increases and adaptability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The phone holder is designed with a universal base plate and adjustable support elements that can accommodate multiple mobile phone models through repositioning, eliminating the need for separate product-specific holders for each model while maintaining secure holding capability
Solution Approach 2:
The support elements are made adjustable and repositionable on the base plate, allowing the holder to dynamically adapt its configuration to match different mobile phone sizes and shapes, thereby achieving both precision holding and multi-model compatibility
2Stability of the object's composition
If a product-specific phone holder is created for each mobile phone model, then the mobile phone can be securely positioned, but the ease of manufacture decreases and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single universal phone holder design serves multiple mobile phone models, reducing manufacturing costs by eliminating the need to produce separate holders for each model while maintaining stable positioning through adjustable support elements
Solution Approach 2:
The phone holder is divided into a fixed base plate and separate adjustable support elements, allowing the support elements to be repositioned and reconfigured for different phone models without replacing the entire holder structure, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple product-specific testers are maintained for different mobile phone types, then each phone model can be tested accurately, but the loss of time increases due to setup changes
Solution Approach 1:
The support elements can be quickly repositioned and adjusted on the universal base plate when changing between different mobile phone models, significantly reducing setup time compared to replacing entire product-specific holders while maintaining testing accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable support elements can be pre-positioned for different phone models, allowing quick switching between configurations without time-consuming setup changes, thereby reducing loss of time during model transitions
