Camera Decoration Assembly Modular Mounting Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The appearance size of a camera decoration member in mobile terminal devices is limited by the internal structure's size and layout, restricting design flexibility and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A camera decoration assembly comprising a decoration member and a mounting member connected through a fastener or buckling mechanism, allowing the decoration member to be mounted on opposite sides of the housing without size constraints, with optional grounding and sealing features for enhanced safety and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the decoration member is mounted from inside the housing, then the internal structure size and layout constrain the appearance size of the decoration member, but mounting from outside allows flexible decoration sizes without internal structure limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The decoration assembly is divided into multiple components: a decoration member mounted from outside the housing, a mounting member with conductor embedded inside the housing, and a fastener connecting them. This segmentation allows the decoration member to be sized independently from internal structure constraints while maintaining a manageable mounting structure through modular assembly
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting approach transitions from a single-dimensional internal mounting constraint to a multi-dimensional solution where the decoration member extends from outside the housing through the housing wall, utilizing the external space dimension to overcome internal structure limitations on decoration size
2Reliability
If the conductor is grounded through the fastener, then use safety is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fastener serves dual functions: mechanically connecting the decoration member to the housing and simultaneously providing the grounding path for the conductor. This self-service approach integrates the grounding function into the existing fastening structure, avoiding additional grounding components and reducing manufacturing precision requirements that would arise from separate grounding connections
3Strength
If the fastener connects through the conductor, then the connecting strength is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastener is designed to simultaneously perform mechanical fastening and electrical grounding functions by connecting through the conductor. This merging of fastening and grounding functions into a single component achieves strong connection without increasing device complexity through additional separate grounding elements or assembly steps

AI summary
This application provides a camera decoration assembly. The camera decoration assembly includes a decoration member, a mounting member and a fastener. The decoration member is exposed from a housing; and the decoration member and the mounting member are connected through the fastener or buckling, and are pressed on two opposite sides of the housing respectively. The mounting member includes a body and a conductor embedded in the body; and the conductor is of a metal structure, and is partially exposed from the body to be electrically connected to the decoration member and grounded. In the camera decoration assembly, the decoration member is mounted from outside of the housing, and the mounting member is mounted from inside of the housing, and is connected to the decoration member through the fastener or buckling. An appearance size of the decoration member located outside the housing is not limited by a size and a layout of an internal structure of a mobile terminal device. This application further provides a mobile terminal device including the camera decoration assembly.
