Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional mounting assemblies are used for heavier cameras, then the mounting structure is simple, but the reliability is low and the camera is prone to loosening and shaking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting assembly is divided into multiple functional components: a mounting base with mounting cavity, multiple pre-hanging members extending into the cavity, and multiple fasteners. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function, with the pre-hanging members providing initial positioning and the fasteners securing the connection, thereby improving overall reliability without creating an overly complex integrated structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The pre-hanging members are pre-installed and extend into the mounting cavity before the camera is mounted. This preliminary action provides initial positioning and support for the camera, ensuring proper alignment and reducing the risk of loosening during operation. The fasteners are then added to complete the secure connection, maintaining reliability while keeping the assembly process straightforward

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional mounting assemblies are used, then the assembly process is simple, but the mounting is unstable in vibrating environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting base features a specifically designed mounting cavity with multiple pre-hanging members positioned at different locations within the cavity. This local differentiation allows the pre-hanging members to engage with corresponding features on the camera at optimal positions, providing stable support and resistance to vibration. The fasteners are positioned to apply clamping force at critical locations, enhancing stability without complicating the overall assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If heavier cameras are mounted with conventional assemblies, then the camera weight is supported, but the mounting is prone to loosening

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-loosening performanceVSAvoidcamera weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The pre-hanging members extend into the mounting cavity and are positioned to counteract the gravitational force on the heavier camera. By providing upward support forces through the pre-hanging members and securing them with fasteners, the assembly creates a balanced force system that prevents loosening. The multiple pre-hanging members distribute the weight-bearing function, improving anti-loosening performance while supporting heavier camera weights

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)
