Embedded Camera Bracket With Stepped Mounting for Size Variations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing embedded mounting brackets for cameras require a new design for each camera size, leading to increased development costs and the need for multiple bracket varieties, which complicates replacement and storage.
Innovation Solution
An embedded mounting bracket with multiple step surfaces of different heights allows for the selective assembly of a mounting member, enabling the use of the same bracket with cameras of varying body heights, reducing the need for multiple bracket designs and facilitating easy camera replacement without requiring new brackets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a new embedded mounting bracket is designed for each new camera size, then the camera can be properly mounted, but the development cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket body is designed with multiple step surfaces at different heights, allowing a single bracket design to accommodate cameras of various body heights. The mounting member can be selectively assembled on different step surfaces based on the camera size, making one bracket universally compatible with multiple camera models and sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket structure is segmented into a bracket body with multiple step surfaces and a detachable mounting member. This segmentation allows the mounting member to be selectively positioned on different step surfaces, enabling the same bracket body to adapt to different camera sizes without requiring complete redesign.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple varieties of embedded brackets are produced to match different camera sizes, then all camera sizes can be accommodated, but the complexity of device variety increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of producing multiple bracket varieties for different camera sizes, a universal bracket design with multiple step surfaces is created. This single bracket variety can accommodate all camera sizes by selectively assembling the mounting member on appropriate step surfaces, thereby reducing the number of bracket varieties needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket incorporates adjustable elements (multiple step surfaces and detachable mounting members) that allow dynamic adaptation to different camera sizes. This dynamic configuration enables a single bracket design to perform the function of multiple fixed-size brackets.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple varieties of embedded brackets are produced, then different camera sizes can be matched, but the cost of storing and managing multiple bracket types increases
Solution Approach 1:
By designing a universal bracket with multiple step surfaces, the need to maintain inventory of multiple bracket varieties is eliminated. A single bracket design can serve all camera models, significantly reducing the quantity of different bracket types that need to be stored and managed.
4Ease of manufacture
If a fixed camera body height is required for a given bracket, then the bracket design is simplified, but the applicability to new camera models is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket incorporates adjustable step surfaces that allow the mounting height to be dynamically changed according to the camera body height. This dynamic adjustment capability maintains the simplicity of the base bracket design while significantly improving compatibility with new camera models of various sizes.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an embedded mounting bracket and camera assembly comprising same. The embedded mounting bracket is used for mounting a camera, and the embedded mounting bracket includes a bracket body and a mounting member. The bracket body includes a bracket side wall, the bracket side wall includes a lower end surface and an upper end surface opposite to the lower end surface, and the upper end surface includes multiple step surfaces with different heights from the lower end surface. The mounting member is detachably assembled to the bracket body for bearing the camera. The mounting member is selectively assembled on the step surfaces with different heights, so as to replaceably assemble at least two cameras with different body heights to the bracket body.
