Abstract

To address the issues of limited functionality and insufficient scenario adaptability in traditional phone holders, this paper designs a universal wireless charging phone holder based on 3D printing technology. This product integrates multiple functions including clamping, universal adjustment, wireless charging, and sound enhancement. It features a self-adaptive clamping mechanism, a ball hinge adjustment structure, and a quick-release base, balancing stability and flexibility. Additionally, it uses a hollowed-out heat-dissipating phone cradle and a sound amplification cavity structure, facilitating heat dissipation and sound enhancement, thereby optimizing the user experience. Through SolidWorks modeling, model slicing parameter setting, and iteration, the optimal printing materials were selected for different structures, and the product was completed as an integrated print using the FDM process. Test results indicate that the product has a reliable structure, is easy to operate, adapts to multiple scenarios, effectively shortens the development cycle, and reduces costs, providing a reference for similar product development and demonstrating good application value.
