Solution Overview

Problem

Existing baby camera stand systems fail to provide a secure and convenient solution that can transition from a crib clamping configuration to a wall mounting configuration as the baby grows older, and they lack sufficient support points for wall mounting due to convex external shapes.

Innovation Solution

A camera stand system with a clamping structure that includes a clamping force generator, allowing adjustment of the receiving space and conversion to a wall mounting configuration without additional components, featuring a removable second clamping part for secure attachment to both cribs and walls, and a stretchable floor extension for adaptable height adjustment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a convex external shape is used for the camera and stand system, then safety is improved by avoiding sharp edges, but wall mounting capability deteriorates due to insufficient supporting points

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidwall mounting capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The stand system is divided into a camera unit with convex external shape and a separate mounting base with flat mounting surface. The mounting base can be attached to walls independently, while the camera unit maintains its safety-oriented convex design. This segmentation allows each component to optimize for its specific function without compromise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A mounting base acts as an intermediary between the convex camera unit and the wall. The flat mounting surface on the base provides sufficient supporting points for secure wall attachment, while the camera unit with convex shape remains detached and safe for baby environments. The mounting base mediates between the conflicting requirements of safety and wall mounting capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate crib clamping stand and wall mounting stand are provided, then adaptability is improved for different baby ages, but device complexity increases requiring additional components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting configuration flexibilityVSAvoidnumber of separate stands
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand system is designed as a universal multi-functional unit that can operate in multiple configurations: crib clamping mode for younger babies and wall mounting mode for older babies. The same stand system performs both functions through adjustable components, eliminating the need for separate dedicated stands for each mounting type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The stand system incorporates dynamic, adjustable components including an adjustable arm length and interchangeable mounting attachments. These dynamic elements allow the system to adapt its configuration based on the mounting scenario, transitioning smoothly between crib clamping and wall mounting modes without requiring completely separate static structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If a fixed position mounting solution is used, then camera position stability is improved, but adaptability deteriorates as the baby grows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera position stabilityVSAvoidmounting configuration adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The stand system employs dynamic, adjustable components including an adjustable arm length and height mechanisms. These allow the camera position to be stabilized in any given configuration while also enabling easy reconfiguration as the baby grows. The adjustable elements provide both stability during use and adaptability over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows parameter changes in mounting configuration, including adjustable height, angle, and distance of the camera from the baby. These parameter adjustments enable the system to maintain optimal stable positioning while adapting to different baby ages and development stages, transitioning from crib-mounted to wall-mounted configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
