Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting brackets for photography equipment lack flexibility and compatibility, requiring adjustments to fit different camera lenses, and are inconvenient to position.

Innovation Solution

A detachable mounting bracket with sliding slots and fasteners allows for adjustable positioning of photographic auxiliary components, such as filters, relative to the camera lens, enabling easy attachment and detachment and accommodating various camera configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting bracket uses an integral structure, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot be detached or adjusted, resulting in poor flexibility and compatibility

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is divided into a carrying body and a mounting member that can be detached from each other. The carrying body carries the photographic auxiliary component, while the mounting member mounts to the photography device. This segmentation allows the bracket to be adjusted and detached, improving flexibility and compatibility across different device configurations while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting member includes a sliding slot that allows the fastener to move along a first direction, enabling dynamic adjustment of the carrying body's position relative to the photography device. This dynamic feature allows the bracket to adapt to different camera lens positions and configurations, significantly improving compatibility without requiring a completely complex reconfigurable structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting bracket is made adjustable for different camera lens positions, then compatibility improves, but the operation becomes more complex and less convenient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecompatibilityVSAvoidposition adjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The sliding slot in the mounting member allows the fastener to move smoothly along a first direction, enabling easy adjustment of the carrying body's position. The fastener can be simply slid to reposition components, making the adjustment process convenient despite the improved compatibility and adaptability it provides.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The fastener acts as an intermediary element that connects the carrying body to the mounting member while allowing relative movement. By sliding the fastener along the sliding slot, users can easily adjust positions without complex mechanisms, maintaining operational simplicity while achieving compatibility across different configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the mounting bracket uses a detachable structure with sliding slots and fasteners, then flexibility and compatibility improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveflexibilityVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting bracket is segmented into detachable components (carrying body and mounting member) connected by a sliding slot and fastener mechanism. This segmentation provides flexibility and detachability while keeping each individual component relatively simple in structure, avoiding the need for an overly complex integrated system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sliding slot mechanism provides dynamic adjustability with a simple linear guide structure. The fastener moves along the sliding slot in a first direction to adjust positions, creating flexibility through a straightforward mechanical design rather than complex multi-axis adjustment mechanisms, thus limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A photography auxiliary device configured for detachably mounting a photographic auxiliary component in front of a camera lens of a photography device, includes a carrying body for detachably carrying the photographic auxiliary component thereon; and a mounting member configured to mount the carrying body to the photography device to thereby mount the photographic auxiliary component in front of the camera lens of the photography device. The carrying body includes a first light-transmitting portion for allowing light to pass therethrough. The mounting member defines a sliding slot to allow a fastener to pass through. The mounting bracket is mounted to the photography device via a connecting bracket. The position of the carrying body relative to the mounting bracket is adjustable and the position of the mounting bracket relative to the connecting bracket is adjustable such that the position of the photographic auxiliary component relative to the camera lens is adjustable conveniently.
