Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of a mounting device specifically designed for attaching a camera to a seat headrest, as existing technologies do not provide a suitable solution for this application.

Innovation Solution

A headrest camera mounting device comprising a primary arm, a mounting block, and a secondary arm, with a camera coupling subassembly and pivot mount, allowing for secure attachment and adjustable positioning on various headrest configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a rigid mounting structure is used to securely attach the camera, then the camera is firmly fixed, but the device cannot accommodate different headrest configurations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure attachmentVSAvoidaccommodation of different headrest configurations
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities with movable arms that can pivot and extend to different positions, allowing the rigid camera holder to be positioned at various angles and distances to accommodate different headrest shapes and sizes while maintaining secure attachment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting device is divided into separate functional segments (clamp mechanism, adjustable arms, pivot joints, and camera holder) that can independently adapt to different headrest configurations, allowing each segment to be optimized for both security and versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a complex mounting mechanism is designed to accommodate various headrest designs, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccommodation of different headrest designsVSAvoidmounting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device uses a universal clamp design with simple adjustable components that can handle multiple headrest types without requiring complex specialized mechanisms for each type, reducing overall complexity while maintaining broad adaptability

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