Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the camera is mounted on a vehicle support structure, then the camera can capture dynamic scenes, but the camera is subject to shaking and lateral inertia from road surface disturbances
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic shock absorption mechanism where the supporting component can autonomously rotate and actuate in response to detected swinging tendencies. The system uses shock absorption components that enable controlled oscillations in lateral and longitudinal directions, transforming the static mounting structure into a dynamic system that actively responds to road disturbances and maintains camera stability during vehicle motion
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates a feedback mechanism where the shock absorption component detects the camera's swinging tendency and triggers autonomous rotation of the supporting component. This closed-loop control allows the system to sense road surface disturbances through camera movement and automatically adjust the supporting component's position to counteract the shaking, maintaining stable footage capture
2Reliability
If the supporting component is rigidly connected to prevent detachment, then detachment is prevented, but camera jitter increases due to inability to buffer centrifugal force
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces rigid connections with a dynamic shock absorption mechanism. The supporting component is connected through shock absorption components that allow controlled movement and oscillation. This dynamic connection maintains reliable attachment while enabling the system to buffer centrifugal forces generated during vehicle motion, preventing both detachment and camera jitter
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements beforehand cushioning by pre-positioning shock absorption components between the connector and supporting component. These components are designed to absorb and buffer centrifugal forces before they can cause detachment or excessive camera jitter. The shock absorption mechanism is prepared in advance to counteract the harmful effects of road surface disturbances
3Stability of the object's composition
If the supporting component is allowed to move freely to reduce shock, then shock absorption improves, but detachment risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces shock absorption components as intermediary elements between the connector and supporting component. These intermediaries enable controlled movement and shock absorption while maintaining reliable attachment. The shock absorption components act as mediators that allow the supporting component to move freely enough to buffer shocks but constrain the movement to prevent detachment
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses dynamic connections through shock absorption components that allow controlled oscillations rather than completely free movement. This dynamic connection enables the supporting component to move and absorb shocks while the connector maintains attachment reliability through the interconnected shock absorption mechanism
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The mechanism effectively stabilizes the camera by mitigating centrifugal forces and ensuring precise control over camera stability, resulting in unwavering footage quality.
Implementation Method 1
mitigate the centrifugal force induced by the swinging tendency of the supporting component
Implementation Method 2
the shock absorption component discerns this swinging tendency, triggering autonomous rotation based on the detection result. It subsequently propels the supporting component and the camera to oscillate back and forth
Implementation Method 3
facilitating controlled oscillations in both lateral and longitudinal directions, thereby preventing detachment between a camera and a damping arm
Implementation Method 4
the camera is inevitably subject to shaking and lateral inertia

AI summary
A shock absorption mechanism includes connectors, supporting components, and shock absorption components capable of driving the supporting components to swing back and forth or left and right. The connectors are clamped in the middle of the shock absorption components and are operatively connected to the shock absorption components on both sides. The supporting components are movably connected to the shock absorption components, and the lower end of the connectors is operatively connected to the supporting components. A notable feature of this invention, distinct from existing technologies, is the shock absorption components' capacity to induce front-back or left-right oscillations in the supporting components through their inherent rotation when detecting a tendency for swinging. This proactive response effectively mitigates the centrifugal force resulting from camera swinging, preventing detachment between the camera and the damping arm and averting camera jitter. Consequently, the stability of the recorded footage is assured.
