Flip Camera Linkage Assembly for Adjustable Viewing Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic devices, fixed positions of functional modules, such as camera modules, lead to poor user experience due to hand tremors causing inclination and changes in viewing angles, resulting in poor image quality.
Innovation Solution
A flip function assembly is introduced, comprising a driving mechanism, a connecting rod transmission mechanism, and a functional module. The driving mechanism, including a first driving component, drives the connecting rods to rotate the functional module, allowing it to flip and adjust its viewing angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the camera module is fixed in position, then the structure is simple and stable, but hand tremors cause inclination and poor image quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed camera module into a movable one through a flip mechanism. The camera module can now rotate between different positions (e.g., 0 degrees and 90 degrees) to compensate for hand tremors and maintain proper shooting orientation, thereby improving image quality while accepting increased structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by altering the orientation angle of the camera module. The flip mechanism enables the module to change its angular position dynamically, adjusting the viewing angle to counteract hand tremors and maintain optimal imaging conditions
2Ease of operation
If the functional module can rotate to different angles, then user experience improves, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The flip mechanism introduces dynamic adjustability to the functional module, allowing it to rotate between different angles based on user needs. This dynamic capability enhances ease of operation and user experience while managing the inherent increase in structural complexity through a compact design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies universality by enabling the single functional module to serve multiple functions through rotation. The same module can be positioned for different shooting modes (e.g., portrait and landscape), replacing the need for separate fixed modules and thereby justifying the increased complexity through enhanced versatility
