Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera brackets in electronic devices fail to ensure precise positioning and prevent shaking of cameras, leading to suboptimal shooting effects and increased costs due to the need for dispensing or clearance fits.
Innovation Solution
A camera bracket with elastic and non-elastic side walls in the mounting hole, where the elastic side walls provide interference fit and deformation to secure the camera, reducing eccentricity and shaking risk while maintaining structural strength and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If dispensing or clearance fit is used to mount the camera, then mounting reliability is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state of the side wall by introducing elasticity, transforming it from a rigid structure to a flexible one. This allows the side wall to deform during camera insertion and then maintain a secure interference fit, achieving reliable mounting without requiring dispensing processes or precise clearance fits, thereby reducing manufacturing cost while improving reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by making only the side wall elastic while keeping the rest of the bracket rigid. This localized elasticity enables the side wall to deform for easy camera insertion and then provide secure holding force, achieving reliable mounting without increasing overall manufacturing complexity or cost
2Manufacturing precision
If the camera is tightly secured in the mounting hole, then position precision is improved, but the risk of damaging the bracket or camera increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the mechanical property of the side wall to be elastic, allowing it to deform under insertion force and then maintain a secure interference fit. This elasticity enables tight securing for precise positioning while the material's flexibility absorbs stress, reducing the risk of damage to the bracket or camera during installation
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic side wall acts as a cushioning element that absorbs impact and stress during camera insertion. The material's inherent elasticity provides beforehand cushioning, protecting both the bracket and camera from damage while still achieving the necessary interference fit for precise positioning
3Reliability
If an elastic structure is added to the bracket, then mounting reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by introducing elasticity only to the side wall that contacts the camera, while keeping the rest of the bracket structure rigid and simple. This localized modification achieves improved mounting reliability through interference fit without significantly increasing overall device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the elastic side wall with the rigid bracket structure, creating an integrated component that combines the benefits of both rigid support and flexible securing. This integration achieves reliable mounting without adding separate elastic components, thereby minimizing structural complexity
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
The camera bracket improves position precision and reduces shaking risk, enhancing the shooting effect and device performance without the need for costly dispensing, by using elastic side walls that deform to secure the camera and reduce stress concentration.
Implementation Method 1
Hardness of the elastic side wall is less than that of the non-elastic side wall, and the elastic side wall and the non-elastic side wall are configured to be in contact with the camera

AI summary
This application relates to the field of electronic device technologies, and in particular, to a camera bracket and an electronic device. The bracket includes a mounting frame, a mounting hole is provided in the mounting frame, and the mounting hole is configured to mount a camera. Side walls of the mounting hole include an elastic side wall and a non-elastic side wall. Hardness of the elastic side wall is less than that of the non-elastic side wall, and the elastic side wall and the non-elastic side wall are configured to be in contact with the camera. The bracket can facilitate mounting the camera in the mounting hole, and can also improve mounting reliability of the camera and mitigate a shaking risk of the camera in the mounting hole. In addition, during mounting of the camera, only an elastic structure is added on the bracket, to reduce costs.
