Camera Stand Arm Joint Layout for Interference-Free Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera stands do not effectively manage the orientation and storage of camera arms to prevent interference and ensure stable imaging while allowing for compact storage.
Innovation Solution
A camera stand design featuring rotatable arms with fulcrums and a ball joint mechanism, along with magnetic locking devices, allows for adjustable camera orientation and storage positions to minimize interference and facilitate easy handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the second arm is rotated toward the first arm to achieve compact storage, then the storage efficiency is improved, but the grip and device may interfere with the first arm
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic positioning of the grip through a rotatable joint mechanism. The grip can rotate relative to the second arm, allowing it to adapt its position dynamically. When the second arm is rotated toward the first arm for storage, the grip can be positioned at a second position where neither the grip nor the device interferes with the first arm, thus resolving the interference problem while maintaining compact storage.
2Ease of operation
If the grip is positioned at the first position to improve accessibility, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device interferes with the first arm
Solution Approach 1:
The grip is designed with rotational freedom through a joint mechanism that allows it to change position dynamically. When operation is needed, the grip can be positioned at the first position for easy accessibility. When storage is required, the second arm can be rotated toward the first arm and the grip positioned at the second position to avoid interference, thus resolving the contradiction between accessibility and interference.

AI summary
Provided is a stand for a device that is capable of suppressing interference between a plurality of arms that are rotatably coupled and a device attached to an arm. The stand for a device includes a supporter that includes a first fulcrum; a first arm that is coupled to the supporter so as to be rotatable around the first fulcrum, and that includes a second fulcrum on one end; a second arm that includes a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled to the first arm so as to be rotatable around the second fulcrum; a grip; and a joint that is coupled to the second end of the second arm and the grip, is couplable to a device, and for which an orientation of the device with respect to the second arm is changeable by an operation of the grip.
