Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a power supply is arranged in the camera to supply power to the trigger, then the trigger can function, but the trigger cannot be used independently and requires additional power supply equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power supply function into the trigger itself by integrating a battery pack within the trigger housing. This combines the trigger's triggering function with its own power source, eliminating the need for separate camera-based power supply arrangements and enabling independent operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger becomes self-powered through the integrated battery pack, allowing it to autonomously supply power to itself and the camera without requiring external power sources or complex power supply arrangements in the camera.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a battery is arranged inside the enclosure, then the trigger can supply power to the camera independently, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a triggering device and as a power supply unit. The battery pack integrated into the trigger enables it to perform both triggering functions and power supply functions, eliminating the need for separate dedicated power supply equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack is nested within the trigger's enclosure structure, with the battery compartment integrated into the housing. This nesting approach allows the power supply component to be housed within the existing trigger structure without requiring separate external power supply equipment.
3Reliability
If the interface is provided with waterproof jacket, then the interface is protected from water damage, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a waterproof jacket or seal covering the interface area, using flexible sealing materials to protect the interface from water ingress. This sealing approach provides reliable waterproof protection while maintaining relative simplicity in the overall structure.

Data Source
AI summary
The disclosure relates to a trigger with a charging effect in the field of triggers, which includes an enclosure and a circuit board, wherein the battery is connected to the circuit board. According to the trigger with the charging effect, the battery is arranged in the enclosure, so that the trigger can be used normally while having a triggering function; and meanwhile, the battery supplies power to the camera to achieve a charging function of the trigger, thereby avoiding the situation that a power supply needs to be installed additionally to supply power to the trigger and the camera when the trigger is used, thereby providing convenience for the user, and improving the user's sense of experience.
