Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing holder devices for portable electronic apparatuses are limited in accommodating a wide range of device sizes, particularly in vehicles, where devices of varying dimensions need secure and adjustable mounting solutions.
Innovation Solution
A holder device with an adjustable mechanism that allows for varying separation between its lower and upper surfaces, utilizing a moving element with guide rails or a pivot link, and an elastic member for secure positioning, ensuring compatibility with devices of sizes between 100 mm and 160 mm, while maintaining proximity to the rear surface for electronic device operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed holder structure is used, then the device structure is simple, but it can only accommodate a limited range of portable electronic apparatus sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The holder device incorporates an adjustable separation mechanism between the lower surface and upper part, allowing the distance to be dynamically changed according to the size of the portable electronic apparatus. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the holder to accommodate devices of various sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder device is divided into separable components including a lower surface, an upper part, and an adjustment mechanism. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each component's position, particularly the separation distance between lower surface and upper part, to fit different device dimensions without redesigning the entire structure.
2Reliability
If the electronic device is positioned deeper below the rear surface, then the holder structure is simpler, but the electronic device cannot cooperate with the complementary electronic device inside the portable apparatus
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable separation mechanism allows the holder structure to adapt its depth configuration dynamically. By adjusting the separation between lower surface and upper part, the position of the electronic device relative to the rear surface can be optimized to ensure proper cooperation with the complementary electronic device while maintaining structural simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the separation between lower surface and upper part is fixed, then the manufacturing is easier, but the holder cannot adjust to devices of varying sizes (100 mm to 160 mm)
Solution Approach 1:
The holder device incorporates an adjustable separation mechanism that enables the distance between the lower surface and upper part to be changed according to the size of the portable electronic apparatus. This dynamic adjustment capability allows accommodation of devices ranging from 100 mm to 160 mm in size while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process.
