Vehicle Handle With Adjustable Wireless Charging Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Drivers face challenges in charging electronic devices like smartphones within vehicles, as existing solutions require adapters and dedicated supports, which are not always convenient or space-efficient.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle handle with integrated wireless charging capabilities and adjustable positioning, allowing for secure placement and charging of devices without additional adapters or supports, utilizing a C-shaped handle with fixing and handling mechanisms for sliding, rotating, and frictional alignment, and an electrical connection to the vehicle's power source.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If chargers using ISO sockets are used, then electronic devices can be charged, but additional adapters and dedicated supports are required
Solution Approach 1:
The charging means are integrated directly into the handle structure, merging the charging function with the existing handle component. This eliminates the need for separate adapters and supports, as the handle itself becomes the charging station for electronic devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides the traditional gripping function for vehicle access and simultaneously serves as a charging device for electronic devices. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for dedicated charging supports.
2Reliability
If dedicated supports for charging devices are installed, then devices can be charged securely, but vehicle space is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The charging support function is merged with the handle structure itself. The handle serves as both the support for gripping and the support for charging devices, eliminating the need for additional dedicated supports that would occupy vehicle space.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is designed to universally support both its traditional gripping function and the new function of holding and charging electronic devices. This multi-functional design provides secure device positioning without requiring additional space-consuming components.
3Ease of operation
If fixed charging supports are installed, then devices can be charged, but installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The charging means are combined with the handle into a single integrated component. This merger simplifies installation, as the charging function is added during handle manufacturing rather than requiring separate installation of additional charging supports.
