Solution Overview

Problem

Current hand-held gimbals face challenges in establishing a convenient and efficient connection with terminals for real-time image viewing or storage, with existing methods being cumbersome due to the use of cables.

Innovation Solution

A hand-held gimbal design featuring a handle portion with a display screen, control buttons, and an adaptor for easy connection to mobile devices, allowing for quick data transmission and user interaction, while also incorporating a detachable adaptor for compactness and aesthetic appeal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a cable is drawn from the inside of the gimbal to connect to the terminal, then data transmission and image viewing are enabled, but the connection establishment becomes cumbersome and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidconnection ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The cable is extracted from the internal structure and positioned externally along the sidewall of the handle portion, allowing users to access and connect the cable without disassembling the gimbal housing. This extraction principle resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliable internal connections while enabling easy external access for connection establishment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The cable serves as an intermediary element that bridges the gimbal and terminal. By positioning the cable externally along the sidewall with accessible connection points, the cable acts as a mediator that simplifies the connection process while ensuring stable data transmission and image viewing between the gimbal and terminal devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the gimbal is designed with integrated connection components, then connection stability is improved, but the device size and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidgimbal volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The connection components are extracted from the internal volume of the gimbal housing and positioned externally along the sidewall. This allows the gimbal to maintain a compact internal structure while providing stable connection points on the exterior, resolving the contradiction between connection stability and device volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The cable routing is nested within the existing handle portion structure, utilizing the available sidewall space for cable placement. This nesting approach allows stable connection implementation without significantly increasing the overall gimbal volume, as the connection components are integrated into the existing form factor.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
