Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices, such as mobile phones, are inconvenient to view during charging and prone to deviating from the charging position when placed flat on a common wireless charger.

Innovation Solution

A charging base with a rotatable first supporting plate and a second supporting plate that limits displacement, allowing the device to be charged at an angle and preventing deviation, featuring a damping mechanism and reset mechanism for convenient storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the electronic device is placed flat on the charger, then the charging function is achieved, but the user convenience for viewing displayed content deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenience for viewingVSAvoidcharging structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first supporting plate is designed to be rotatable between a first supporting position and a first storage position, allowing the electronic device to be charged at an inclined angle for better viewing convenience or stored flat to reduce space occupation, thus resolving the contradiction between viewing convenience and space efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The charging base transitions from a two-dimensional flat charging surface to a three-dimensional inclined charging position through rotation, enabling the electronic device to be positioned at an optimal viewing angle while maintaining charging functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the electronic device is placed flat on the charger, then the charging function is achieved, but the positioning stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning stabilityVSAvoiddevice placement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The second supporting plate is extracted as a separate component that specifically addresses positioning stability by limiting displacement of the electronic device, while the first supporting plate handles the viewing angle function, separating the two functions to resolve the contradiction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The second supporting plate acts as an intermediary element between the charging base and the electronic device, providing displacement limitation and enhancing positioning stability without interfering with the primary charging function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the first supporting plate is rotated to inclined position for viewing convenience, then the user visibility improves, but the space occupation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser visibilityVSAvoidspace occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The rotatable first supporting plate allows the system to dynamically adjust between an inclined position for improved visibility and a storage position for reduced space occupation, resolving the contradiction through positional flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

When not in use, the first supporting plate can be rotated to the storage position, effectively 'discarding' the inclined configuration and recovering space, while the charging functionality is 'recovered' when rotated back to the supporting position

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering
