Solution Overview

Problem

Existing photograph device holders are limited in their ability to securely attach to articles of varying shapes and sizes, leading to instability during shooting, especially in environments where handheld or fixed placement is difficult.

Innovation Solution

A photograph device holder with a base, main bracket, fixed and movable clamp arms, and an adjusting mechanism that allows the movable clamp arm to move relative to the fixed clamp arm, enabling secure attachment to different shapes and sizes of workpieces through clamping and releasing mechanisms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed-type photograph device holder is used to place on the ground or table, then the user can shoot hands-free, but it cannot be fixed on articles of different shapes or sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehands-free shooting capabilityVSAvoidadaptability to different shapes and sizes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The photograph device holder is designed with a clamp arm mechanism that can adapt to various shapes and sizes of support surfaces. The clamp arm includes a fixed clamp arm and a movable clamp arm that can clamp onto different objects (tables, ground, articles of various shapes), making the holder universal for multiple shooting scenarios rather than limited to flat surfaces only.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The clamp arm incorporates a movable clamp arm that can move along the longitudinal direction relative to the fixed clamp arm. This dynamic structure allows the holder to adjust its clamping position and adapt to different object geometries, transforming a static holder into a dynamic one that can accommodate various shapes and sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a handheld photograph device holder is used, then the user can carry it anywhere, but it cannot provide stable shooting when the user has difficulty holding it

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidshooting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The holder can function in multiple modes: handheld mode for portability and clamped mode for stability. The clamp arm mechanism enables the holder to be fixed onto various surfaces (tables, ground, articles), providing a stable shooting platform when needed, while still maintaining its portable design for carrying anywhere.

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

3Device complexity

If a fixed clamp arm structure is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adjust to different sizes of workpieces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidadjustability to different sizes
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The clamp arm structure includes a movable clamp arm that can move along the longitudinal direction, transforming a static fixed structure into a dynamic adjustable one. This allows the holder to adapt to different workpiece sizes while maintaining relative structural simplicity through the use of a sliding mechanism guided by the limit groove.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The distance between the fixed clamp arm and movable clamp arm can be adjusted by moving the sliding seat along the limit groove. This parameter change (distance adjustment) enables the holder to accommodate different sizes of workpieces while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

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

Enables stable shooting by securely attaching the photograph device to various objects, ensuring stability regardless of the environment or object shape.

Implementation Method 1

the screw is rotatably arranged in the limit groove, the screw penetrates and is screwed to the sliding seat, when the driving assembly rotates along a first direction, the driving assembly drives the screw to rotate along the first direction such that the sliding seat drives the movable clamp arm to move close to the fixed clamp arm

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectScrew mechanism: Screw

Implementation Method 2

the screw penetrates and is screwed to the sliding seat, when the driving assembly rotates along a first direction, the driving assembly drives the screw to rotate along the first direction such that the sliding seat drives the movable clamp arm to move close to the fixed clamp arm

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectFriction: Friction

AI summary

A photograph device holder having a base, a main bracket, a fixed clamp arm, a movable clamp arm, and an adjusting mechanism is provided. The photograph device holder is for fixing a photograph device and used to clamp on a workpiece. The photograph device is arranged on the base. The main bracket connects to the base and extends along a longitudinal direction. The fixed clamp arm is arranged on the base or the main bracket. The movable clamp arm moves along the longitudinal direction. The adjusting mechanism is arranged on the main bracket and drives the movable clamp arm closer to or away from the fixed clamp arm along the longitudinal direction such that the fixed and the movable clamp arm may clamp or release the workpiece. The photograph device holder is therefore clamping on the workpiece of different sizes or shapes to make the photograph device to shoot stably.
