Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple mounting method is used to attach the camera to the holding device, then the device complexity is reduced, but the shooting flexibility and adaptability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs ball heads with spherical geometry that rotate within receiving spaces, enabling omnidirectional movement and multi-angle shooting capabilities while maintaining a relatively simple mounting structure. The spherical design allows rotation around multiple axes without requiring complex mechanical joints.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from single-axis or two-axis rotation to three-dimensional omnidirectional rotation by allowing the ball head to rotate freely within the receiving space, adding rotational freedom in multiple dimensions simultaneously.
2Ease of manufacture
If the holding device is fixed to a smooth object using conventional methods, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the stability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The ball head design with curved spherical surface interacting with the receiving space provides stable attachment through geometric interlocking, which remains effective even on smooth surfaces without requiring complex adhesive or mechanical fastening systems.
3Reliability
If a fixed mounting structure is used to ensure stability, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of operation for angle adjustment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The spherical ball head within the receiving space provides inherent stability through geometric constraints while simultaneously allowing smooth manual rotation and angle adjustment without requiring additional locking mechanisms or complex control systems.

AI summary
A camera fixing device includes a fixing assembly fixed to an external component, a mounting assembly for mounting the camera; and a connection assembly connected between the fixing assembly and the mounting assembly; the connection assembly comprises a first ball head, the mounting assembly comprises a second ball head, a first end of the connection assembly comprises a first receiving space which receives the first ball head and allows the first ball head to rotate therein, and a second end of the connection assembly comprises a second receiving space which receives the second ball head and allows the second ball head to rotate therein. Due to the fact that the ball head can rotate in the corresponding receiving space, the camera fixing device of the present invention can flexibly rotate and realize an omnidirectional shooting in a three-dimension space.
