Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handheld gimbals are inconvenient for usage and installation due to the lack of support and control mechanisms, making it difficult to adjust photographing angles and stabilize larger volume and weight gimbals.
Innovation Solution
A gimbal handheld holder with two support legs, a transverse rod, and a control device that includes rocker potentiometers and a handle, allowing for force balance, easy placement on a surface, and flexible control of the gimbal's rotation in multiple axes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If existing handheld gimbals are used without support legs, then the device structure remains simple, but the stability and ease of placement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The handheld holder is divided into functional segments: support legs for stability, transverse rod for structural support, handle for user control, and gimbal connector for device attachment. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall system stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The addition of support legs extends the device from a purely handheld configuration to one that can also be placed on surfaces. This dimensional change in usage capability provides stability through ground contact while preserving the handheld operation mode through the handle.
2Ease of operation
If no control device is provided, then the device structure remains simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control device integrates multiple functions: the handle serves as both a grip for handheld operation and a mounting point for control devices. The control device itself can be either manual (rocker potentiometer) or automated (roller with switch), providing universal control capability across different operation modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The control mechanism can be replaced from purely mechanical (rocker potentiometer) to electromechanical (roller with switch and PWM signal generation). This substitution enhances control precision and flexibility while reducing mechanical wear and improving response accuracy.
3Ease of manufacture
If the gimbal connector is not integrated with the transverse rod, then the structure remains modular, but the ease of manufacture deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The gimbal connector is merged with the transverse rod at their junction point, creating an integrated structure that reduces the number of separate components. This merging simplifies assembly and manufacturing while maintaining the structural integrity needed to support the gimbal device.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides stable support for larger gimbals, enhances user convenience by allowing the holder to be placed on a surface, and improves control flexibility through various control methods, including PWM signal conversion for precise gimbal rotation.
Implementation Method 1
the rocker potentiometer, located on one of the two support legs, receives operation instructions and sends electrical signals to the handheld holder main control board
Implementation Method 2
the handheld holder main control board converts the electrical signals into PWM (pulse width modulation) signals and sends the PWM signals to a main control board of the gimbal
Implementation Method 3
the two support legs are able to achieve force balance at two ends of the gimbal handheld holder, and steadily hold the gimbal below the transverse rod
