Operation Room Camera Mount Structure for Vibration Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera installation structures in operation rooms of working machines suffer from quick vibration and reduced ride comfort due to the absence of an operator's weight on the operation seat, leading to camera oscillation and vibration transmission from the working machine.
Innovation Solution
A camera installation structure featuring a scaffold member with vertically arranged shelves in the rear space of the operation room, where the camera is mounted on one shelf and the mounting brackets are fixed to other shelves or coupling portions, allowing the camera to be positioned at the operator's eye level without obstructing the rear visual field.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the camera is installed on the operation seat via base and pan head, then the camera can be positioned at operator's eye level, but the camera easily oscillates due to absence of operator weight and vibration transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The camera is extracted from the operation seat and mounted on the rear wall of the operation room. This separates the camera mounting location from the vibrating operation seat, eliminating the source of vibration transmission while maintaining the ability to position the camera at the appropriate height for capturing operator eye level views.
Solution Approach 2:
A dedicated camera mounting bracket is introduced as an intermediary structure between the rear wall and the camera. This bracket provides a stable, vibration-isolated mounting platform that is independent of the operation seat's vibration, while still allowing the camera to be positioned at the correct height and angle.
2Ease of manufacture
If the mounting bracket is fixed to the rear wall via flange-like protruding piece, then the camera can be mounted, but the structure is conspicuous and obstructs the rear visual field
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is designed with a compact, low-profile structure that is optimized for its specific mounting location on the rear wall. The bracket's dimensions and shape are tailored to minimize its visual impact and obstruction of the rear visual field while still providing sufficient mounting surface area and structural strength for secure camera attachment.

AI summary
There is provided a camera installation structure for inside of operation room that can obtain a camera image with reduced shake to enable remote operation and hardly obstructs rear visual field in a case where an operator boards a working machine. A camera installation structure 10 includes an operation seat 3, a scaffold member 20 disposed in a rear space 4, and mounting portions for mounting the scaffold member 20. The scaffold member 20 includes a plurality of shelves 21, 23, 25, and 27, a camera 50 installed on the fourth shelf 27, and mounting brackets. In a state where the mounting brackets are mounted on the mounting portions, a lens 51 of the camera 50 is disposed at a height position corresponding to a height of eyes of an operator in a case where the operator sits on the operation seat 3.
