Clamping Camera Module Structure for Stable Screen Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional camera devices with clamping modules suffer from instability and limited adjustable viewing angles due to narrow screen frames, leading to potential falls and restricted visual perspectives.
Innovation Solution
A camera device with a clamping module featuring a supporting element, sliding element, elastic element, and rotation shaft, which includes sliding ribs and slots for secure gripping and adjustable viewing angles, utilizing an elastic element for stable attachment and cable management to prevent rotation angle deviations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If a narrow screen frame is used for the clamping module, then the camera device can be compact, but the stability deteriorates and the device is easily fallen off
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping module is divided into multiple functional components: a clamping unit with clamping arms for gripping the screen frame, a supporting unit with support legs that extend to provide stable contact points, and a connecting unit. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally - the clamping arms provide secure attachment while the support legs distribute weight and prevent tipping, resolving the contradiction between compact size and stability.
2Device complexity
If a fixed clamping structure is used, then the attachment is simple, but the viewing angle adjustability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping structure incorporates a rotating connection between the supporting unit and the camera module, allowing the camera to rotate around the vertical axis. The clamping arms are designed to accommodate rotation while maintaining grip on the screen frame. This dynamic design enables continuous adjustment of viewing angles without requiring complex locking mechanisms or multiple fixed positions, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and adjustability.
3Manufacturing precision
If the camera module is rigidly fixed, then the positioning is precise, but the cable management deteriorates and rotation angle deviations occur
Solution Approach 1:
The cable management structure uses a flexible cable guide channel that can bend and deform as the camera module rotates. The channel is designed with sufficient flexibility to accommodate the full range of motion without restricting rotation or causing cable damage. This flexible guidance system maintains precise positioning during rotation while preventing cable tangling and deviation, resolving the contradiction between rigid positioning and flexible cable management.

AI summary
A camera device with the clamping module includes a clamping module and a camera module. The clamping module includes a supporting element having a base holder, a sliding element, and an elastic element received between the supporting element and the sliding element. One end of a bottom surface of the base holder extends downward to form a blocking block, the other end of the bottom surface of the base holder extends downward to form a first clamping board. The sliding element is mounted to a bottom of the supporting element. The sliding element is located between the blocking block and the first clamping board. One end of the sliding element has a second clamping board facing to the first clamping board. The camera module is pivoted to a top of the supporting element by a rotation shaft.
