Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a fixed screw position is used to fix the camera, then the structure is simple, but the camera position cannot be adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera position adjustmentVSAvoidbracket structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed bracket structure into a dynamic adjustable one by introducing a flexible hose instead of rigid fixed connections. The hose allows the camera to be positioned in multiple directions while maintaining secure attachment, enabling both simplicity and adjustability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the structural parameter from rigid fixed connection to flexible adjustable connection. By using a hose with varying flexibility and incorporating adjustment mechanisms, the bracket can adapt to different camera positions while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single fixed bracket design is used, then the manufacturing is simple, but the installation methods are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation methodsVSAvoidbracket design
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the bracket with multiple functional elements: hanging holes for wall mounting, through-hole slots for strap fixation on columns, and an adjustable hose for various camera positions. This multi-functional design enables diverse installation methods while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket is divided into distinct functional segments: the bottom plate with mounting holes, the flexible hose, and the fixed part. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific function independently, enabling versatile installation while keeping individual components simple to manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the camera is fixed at a fixed position, then the structure is stable, but the user experience is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera positioningVSAvoidcamera bracket structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a flexible hose as the connection medium between the bottom plate and the fixed part. This flexible element maintains structural stability through its material properties and design while enabling the camera to be positioned in multiple directions, thus preserving both stability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

AI summary

The present application provides a camera bracket, comprising a bottom plate, an orientable hose and a fixed part. The bottom plate is set with two hanging holes and two first through-hole slots, the two hanging holes are located at both sides of the center of the bottom plate, the two first through-hole slots are symmetrically set along the radial directions of the bottom plate, one end of the orientable hose is removably fixed in the bottom plate center, the fixed part is removably connected to the other end of the hose for removable connection of the camera components. Setting two hanging holes and two first through-hole slots on the bottom plate mounts the bottom plate onto the wall, and the two first through-hole slots allow for straps to pass through and bind to columns. The hose is memory adjustable and enables the multi-directional position change of the camera.
