Solution Overview

Problem

Existing waterproof phone cases face challenges in providing universal protection for different phone models and sizes, with hard cases being customized and fragile, and soft cases lacking flexibility and adaptability to different models and sizes, and the existing solutions have not addressed the challenges of providing effective protection against external impacts.

Innovation Solution

A waterproof phone case with an easily detachable panel, comprising a connecting ring, a fixed inner ring, and a top cover, which includes a connecting ring, a fixed inner ring, and a top cover, with a resilient clip, annular sealing ring, and a mounting strap, allowing for the accommodation of different phone sizes and models, and providing multiple waterproof sealing effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If hard waterproof phone cases are customized for specific models, then protective performance is improved, but adaptability to different phone models deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective performanceVSAvoidadaptability to different phone models
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a universal case body structure with adjustable components that can accommodate multiple phone models. The mounting plate with multiple mounting holes and adjustable clamping arms allow the same case to fit different phone sizes and shapes, eliminating the need for model-specific customization while maintaining protective performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The case is divided into modular components including a case body, mounting plate, clamping arms, and sealing components. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted or replaced to suit different phone models, providing both customization flexibility and universal compatibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If soft waterproof phone cases are made of soft plastic materials, then adaptability to different phone models is improved, but resistance to external impacts deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different phone modelsVSAvoidresistance to external impacts
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines hard and soft materials in a composite structure. The case body uses hard protective material for impact resistance, while soft sealing materials (such as silicone or rubber gaskets) are used at contact points to provide adaptability and comfort. This composite approach maintains both protective strength and adaptability to different phone models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If waterproof phone cases use complex sealing structures, then waterproof effect is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaterproof effectVSAvoidease of assembly and disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic clamping arms with elastic elements that automatically adjust to seal around the phone. The elastic force provides continuous sealing pressure without requiring complex fastening mechanisms, allowing easy one-handed operation for assembly and disassembly while maintaining reliable waterproof sealing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic clamping mechanism automatically self-adjusts to maintain optimal sealing pressure as the phone is inserted or removed. The system uses the elastic deformation of the clamping arms to create and maintain the seal without requiring user intervention or complex control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The case effectively accommodates different phone sizes and models, offers flexible protection against impacts, and allows for easy assembly and disassembly, enhancing user convenience and adaptability.

Implementation Method 1

the end cover is fixedly provided with an elastic sealing plug inside for sealing the port. When the snap-fit structure fastens the end cover and the case body together, the end cover compresses and fixes the elastic sealing plug at the port

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

Implementation Method 2

at least one suction cup is arranged on an inner side of the rear cover, and the suction cup is used to adsorb to a smooth surface when the rear cover is in contact with the smooth surface

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAdhesion: Adhesive

AI summary

A waterproof phone case with easily detachable panel is provided, including a connecting ring, a fixed inner ring, and a top cover. The fixed inner ring is clamped to an inner side of the connecting ring, and the top cover is clamped to an inner side of the connecting ring. A resilient clip is further provided within the waterproof phone case, which is made of elastic material and one end of the resilient clip away from the connecting ring can be moved freely. Both ends of the resilient clip are moved away from each other by using the spring provided within the resilient clip, causing the one end of the resilient clip away from the connecting ring to move towards the inside of the connecting ring, and subjecting pressure to one side of the mobile phone.
