Camera Mounting Assembly for Easier High-Height Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of heavy cameras is cumbersome and requires significant strength and ergonomic challenges due to their weight and the need to mount them at high heights.
Innovation Solution
A mounting assembly comprising a first part with a plate body and mounting plates, and a second part with guiding plates and a guiding element, allowing for easy assembly and support of the camera's weight during installation, facilitating adjustments to the viewing direction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional brackets are used to mount heavy cameras at high heights, then the camera can be securely mounted, but the installation becomes cumbersome and requires significant physical strength
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is divided into separate components: a mounting part with mounting plates and an attachment part with guiding plates. This segmentation allows the components to be assembled together to support the camera weight securely, while also enabling easier handling and installation by distributing the weight support function across multiple elements rather than requiring a single heavy-duty bracket
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting assembly acts as an intermediary device between the mounting surface and the camera. It includes a mounting part with mounting plates and an attachment part with guiding plates that work together to support the camera weight, making installation easier while maintaining secure mounting
2Length of stationary object
If conventional mounting methods are used, then the camera can be mounted at high heights, but the installer must work in ergonomically problematic positions
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is divided into separate components that can be handled and assembled more easily at height. The mounting part and attachment part can be connected through the open slot and guiding element mechanism without requiring the installer to hold and manipulate the entire heavy camera assembly in difficult positions
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting assembly incorporates movable elements including the open slot that allows the guiding element to move along an arc-shaped path, and rotation through holes that enable angular adjustment. This dynamic design allows the camera to be mounted at high heights with easier adjustment capabilities, reducing the need for precise positioning in awkward ergonomic positions
3Ease of operation
If the camera weight is fully supported during installation, then adjustment of viewing direction becomes easier, but the mounting assembly structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is segmented into a mounting part and an attachment part that can be connected and adjusted independently. This segmentation allows the weight support function to be distributed while maintaining relatively simple individual component structures, avoiding the need for a single complex heavy-duty mounting device
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting assembly incorporates dynamic elements such as the open slot allowing linear movement of the guiding element, and rotation through holes enabling angular adjustment. These dynamic features provide easy viewing direction adjustment capabilities while keeping the overall structure relatively simple by using straightforward mechanical movements rather than complex mechanisms
