Camera Shock-Absorption Structure for Jitter and Disengagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional shock-absorption structures for cameras often fail to maintain stability due to camera sensitivity to shaking and lateral inertia, leading to disengagement from the arm body's head during filming.
Innovation Solution
A shock-absorption structure comprising a first and second shock-absorption body connected by an elastic shock-absorbing component, featuring a movable gap and multiple holes for securing the elastic components, which effectively dampens camera movements and enhances stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional shock-absorption structures with springs are used, then shock-absorption capability is provided, but camera stability deteriorates due to disengagement during filming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by designing a shock-absorption structure where the arm can rotate relative to the body around a fixed axis. This dynamic design allows the arm to move and absorb shocks through rotational motion rather than rigid connection, preventing disengagement while maintaining connection stability. The arm body includes a head portion that rotates relative to the base, enabling the system to adapt to shock forces dynamically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the shock-absorption structure into distinct functional parts: a base, an arm body with head portion, and separate shock-absorption elements. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function - the base provides mounting, the arm body provides the rotating connection, and the shock-absorption elements provide damping. This modular segmentation improves both reliability and connection stability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If rigid connection between arm and body is used, then connection stability is maintained, but shock-absorption capability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by allowing the arm body to rotate relative to the base around a fixed axis rather than using a rigid fixed connection. This rotational degree of freedom enables the structure to dynamically respond to shock forces, absorbing energy through controlled movement while maintaining stable connection between components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the connection parameter from rigid fixed positioning to rotational movement around an axis. This parameter change allows the connection to maintain stability while accommodating shock forces through angular displacement, thereby providing both connection stability and shock-absorption capability simultaneously.

Function Achieved in This Case
The described structure effectively dampens camera jitter and inertial movements, enhancing camera stability and preventing disengagement during filming by allowing relative motion between the shock-absorption bodies and buffering these motions with the elastic components.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic shock-absorbing component; both the first shock-absorption body and the second shock-absorption body are connected with the elastic shock-absorbing component

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to shock-absorption technology, particularly a shock-absorption structure that includes a first shock-absorption body, a second shock-absorption body, and at least one set of elastic shock-absorbing components. The first shock-absorption body surrounds the exterior of the second shock-absorption body, forming a movable gap between the first shock-absorption body and the second shock-absorption body. Both shock-absorption bodies are connected with the elastic shock-absorbing components. The shock-absorption first body is equipped with a first mounting point for affixing an external device, while the second shock-absorption body features a second mounting point for the same purpose. An external camera and an external shock-absorbing arm structure can be installed at the respective mounting points of the first and second shock-absorption bodies. During filming, when the camera experiences jitter or inertial movements, the shock-absorption structure effectively dampens these motions, enhancing the camera's operational stability.
