Vehicle Phone Holder Arm for Unobstructed Dashboard Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle-mounted holders obstruct the driver's view of the road conditions or dashboard due to their installation on or around the front windshield or dashboard, necessitating inconvenient adjustments for angle and position.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle-mounted holder with a positioning column installed in the vehicle interior inserting holes, featuring an adjusting arm with hinged sections and adjustable joints, allowing the mobile device to be positioned away from the windshield and dashboard, enabling convenient angle adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the holder is installed on or around the front windshield or dashboard, then the mobile phone can be held, but it blocks the driver's view of the road conditions or dashboard
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is extracted from the traditional windshield/dashboard mounting location and relocated to the door panel or armrest area. The positioning column with inserting hole allows the holder to be installed on alternative surfaces, removing the obstruction problem while maintaining the phone-holding function.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder transitions from a two-dimensional mounting surface (windshield/dashboard) to a three-dimensional space utilization by attaching to vertical surfaces like door panels. The adjustable arm provides additional spatial freedom, allowing the phone to be positioned in optimal viewing angles without blocking the driver's forward view.
2Ease of operation
If the holder is installed on the windshield or dashboard, then the mobile phone can be positioned, but the angle of view and position need to be adjusted which is not convenient
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting arm introduces dynamic adjustability to the holder system. The arm can be extended, retracted, and rotated to allow the mobile phone to reach optimal positions. This dynamic structure adapts to different user needs and phone sizes, making the positioning process convenient and flexible.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is divided into separate functional modules: a fixed positioning column, an adjustable arm with multiple sections, and a phone-clamping component. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each module, simplifying the overall positioning process while maintaining structural integrity.
