Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current gimbal technologies face complexity in camera mounting operations and inability to accommodate different camera types due to manufacturing errors or mismatched camera buckles and frames, leading to loose camera attachments.
Innovation Solution
A gimbal system featuring a mounting frame and an adjustable bind buckle with a main body and adjustable structure, including threaded adjustment members and limiting structures, allowing for secure fastening of various camera types by adjusting the fastening force and preventing detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded mounting holes and multiple screws are used to fasten the camera, then the camera attachment reliability is improved, but the mounting operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera buckle is divided into two separate segments: a first buckle segment and a second buckle segment. These segments can be independently positioned and adjusted, allowing the camera to be secured through a simpler single-screw operation rather than multiple screws, thus reducing mounting complexity while maintaining reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The camera buckle acts as an intermediary component between the camera and the camera frame. By using the buckle with its two segments, the system achieves reliable camera attachment through a simplified operation - aligning threaded holes and fastening with a single screw, rather than requiring multiple fastening points
2Manufacturing precision
If a fixed camera buckle design is used, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the adaptability to different camera types decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera buckle is designed with dynamic adjustability - the first and second buckle segments can be positioned at different locations along the camera frame, and the threaded holes can be aligned in different configurations. This dynamic positioning capability allows the same buckle design to adapt to different camera types and sizes while maintaining manufacturing precision
Solution Approach 2:
The camera buckle is designed as a universal component that can accommodate multiple camera types. By allowing the buckle segments to be positioned at different locations and the threaded holes to be aligned in various configurations, a single buckle design serves multiple functions across different camera models, eliminating the need for camera-specific buckle designs
3Ease of operation
If a hinged buckling connection is used to simplify operations, then the mounting operation complexity is reduced, but the camera stability decreases due to gaps
Solution Approach 1:
The buckle segments are designed to be preliminarily positioned at specific locations on the camera frame before final fastening. This preliminary positioning ensures proper alignment and eliminates gaps between the camera and frame, while still allowing for simple single-screw operation. The threaded holes are pre-aligned in the buckle segments to achieve both simplicity and stability
