Solution Overview

Problem

Handheld gimbals lack a display screen to show real-time images or videos, making it impossible for users to adjust the camera attitude to meet their requirements.

Innovation Solution

A handheld gimbal with a touch display screen mounted on the handle that displays the photographed image and allows users to control the gimbal's attitude through touch inputs, connected to a processor and electronic speed controller for precise adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a display screen is added to the handheld gimbal to show real-time images, then the user can control the camera attitude according to the displayed image, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera attitude controlVSAvoidgimbal structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is integrated into the handle of the gimbal, merging the display function with the existing handle structure. This allows the screen to be part of the gimbal system without requiring a separate mounting structure, thereby reducing overall complexity while providing real-time image feedback for improved operation control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If a touch display screen with processor and electronic speed controller is added, then the processing capability and control precision are improved, but the weight of the gimbal increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera attitude measurementVSAvoidgimbal weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The processor and electronic speed controller are designed to serve multiple functions: they process touch input from the display screen, control the stability augmentation assembly, and manage the communication between components. By making these components multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate control units, thereby limiting weight increase while improving measurement and control precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen is fixedly mounted to the handle, then the integration level is improved, but the ease of repair decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegimbal integrationVSAvoidscreen replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is designed as a separable component that can be detached from the handle through a connection structure. This segmentation allows the screen to be integrated into the overall gimbal system for improved adaptability, while also enabling easy removal and replacement for repair purposes, thus resolving the contradiction between integration and ease of repair

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
