Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing angle-adjustable fixing structures for products like cameras are cumbersome to operate due to complicated steps and the need for multiple tools, making quick adjustments difficult.
Innovation Solution
An angle-adjustable fixing structure that allows for easy adjustment by tightening or relaxing an arc-shaped body using a locking member to clamp or relax the arc-shaped body between pivot portions, enabling simple and precise angle adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional angle-adjustable fixing structures are used, then angle adjustment capability is provided, but operation complexity increases and adjustment speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into distinct functional modules: a clamping module with movable and stationary clamps, an adjustment module with arc-shaped body and pivot portions, and a locking module. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall operation while maintaining adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the essential function of angle adjustment from complex traditional mechanisms by using a simplified arc-shaped body with pivot portions that directly enable rotation between components, eliminating unnecessary intermediate elements and reducing operational steps.
2Productivity
If traditional angle-adjustable fixing structures are used, then angle adjustment capability is provided, but adjustment time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The arc-shaped body is pre-configured with multiple pivot portions at different angular positions, allowing the user to directly select and engage the desired angle position without incremental adjustments. The clamping mechanism is pre-positioned to immediately secure the selected angle, eliminating time-consuming step-by-step adjustment processes.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the arc-shaped body is tightly clamped for stable angle fixation, then angle stability is improved, but adjustment flexibility decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping mechanism transitions between two dynamic states: a loose state during adjustment where the movable clamp can freely move along the arc-shaped body to select different angles, and a tight state after adjustment where the clamp secures the selected position. This dynamic behavior allows the system to exhibit both flexibility during adjustment and stability during fixation.

AI summary
An angle-adjustable fixing structure includes a body, a base, a pushing member, an adjustment member and a locking member. The body includes a first pivot portion. The base is on a side of the body. The pushing member is on the base. The pushing member includes a second pivot portion. The adjustment member includes an arc-shaped body disposed between the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion. The locking member passes through and is fixed to the body, and pushes against at least one of the base and the pushing member. The present invention can achieve all-round adjustment at any angle by adjusting the tightness of the arc-shaped body.
