Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle camera bracket devices with suction cups are unstable during vehicle movement on bumpy roads or in crosswind conditions, leading to interruptions or premature termination of video recording.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle camera bracket device featuring a fixed component with a first suction component and a supporting component with a second suction component, providing stable support for photographic equipment through secure attachment to the vehicle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single suction cup is used to mount the camera, then the device structure is simple, but the stability is insufficient during vehicle movement on bumpy roads or in crosswind conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single suction cup is divided into multiple suction cups (first suction cup and second suction cup) that are distributed at different positions on the bracket. This segmentation allows the camera to be anchored at multiple points, significantly improving stability during vehicle movement while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the suction cup is firmly fixed to the bracket, then the camera stability is improved, but the adaptability to different mounting surfaces is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera stabilityVSAvoidmounting surface adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between the suction cup and the bracket is made adjustable rather than fixed. The adjustable connection mechanism allows users to modify the suction cup's position, orientation, or attachment strength according to different mounting surfaces and stability requirements, thus achieving both firm fixation and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If multiple components are added to enhance suction cup stability, then the camera shake is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo recording stabilityVSAvoidcomponent quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple suction cups are integrated into a single bracket structure that also incorporates the camera mounting interface. The bracket serves as a unified structure that combines support, positioning, and camera interface functions, reducing the need for separate stabilization components while maintaining video recording stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The apparatus incorporates a fixed component (1), a carrying component (5), a supporting component (3), a first suction component (4), and a second suction component (6). The carrying component is pivotally and movably positioned at one end on the fixed component, featuring an installation part (11) at the other end for mounting external photographic equipment (101). The lower side of the fixed component is furnished with the first suction component. The supporting component is inclined and rotatably situated on the carrying component at one end, with the other end hosting the second suction component. In the present disclosure, the supporting effect is more stable, and the process of adjusting the camera's height and angle is more convenient.
