Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wearable electronic devices face challenges in being lightweight, comfortable to wear, and facilitating easy attachment and detachment of wearing members while maintaining a stable wearing state.

Innovation Solution

A wearable electronic device design featuring a holder body with a guide recess, a holder member with a fixing portion and rotation member, and a pivotable coupling mechanism that allows for detachable and stable attachment of wearing members using elastic and frictional forces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the wearable electronic device uses a fixed and integrated structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of attachment and detachment of wearing members deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of attachment and detachment
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wearable electronic device is divided into separate functional modules: a holder body that remains attached to the device, and detachable wearing members that can be independently removed and replaced. This segmentation allows the structural stability of the holder body to be maintained while enabling easy attachment and detachment of the wearing members through standardized coupling interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the wearable electronic device uses a detachable wearing member structure, then the ease of attachment and detachment is improved, but the stability of wearing state deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of attachment and detachmentVSAvoidstability of wearing state
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The holder body is pre-equipped with coupling structures (protrusions and recesses) that are designed to automatically engage with the corresponding features on the wearing members. This preliminary preparation of coupling interfaces ensures that when the wearing members are attached, they automatically achieve a stable wearing state without requiring additional fastening actions or complex assembly steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If the wearable electronic device uses a simple attachment mechanism, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of wearing state deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment mechanism complexityVSAvoidreliability of wearing state
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Elastic components serve as intermediaries between the rigid coupling structures of the holder body and wearing members. These elastic elements provide frictional forces and elastic recovery that enhance the reliability of the attachment, ensuring that the wearing members remain securely attached during normal use while still allowing for easy detachment when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
