Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional mounting accessories are used for laser projection devices, then the device can be mounted, but the mounting structure becomes cumbersome and cannot achieve lower height mounting or fine adjustment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting flexibilityVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the mounting structure with the tripod itself by integrating the laser projection device directly onto the tripod legs through clamping mechanisms. This merging eliminates the need for separate mounting accessories, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining mounting flexibility and enabling fine adjustment capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If the laser projection device is mounted at lower heights, then accessibility is improved, but conventional mounting accessories cannot be mounted

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccessibilityVSAvoidmounting capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamically adjustable clamping mechanisms on the tripod legs that can adapt to various heights and positions. This dynamic design allows the laser projection device to be mounted at lower heights while maintaining ease of operation, as the clamping structure can be adjusted to accommodate different mounting positions without requiring separate accessories.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If fine adjustment capability is added to the mounting system, then alignment precision is improved, but the mounting structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates fine adjustment capabilities directly into the mounting structure through multi-functional clamping mechanisms that combine positioning, clamping, and adjustment functions. This universal design achieves alignment precision without significantly increasing structural complexity, as the same mounting components perform multiple functions including fine adjustment.

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

AI summary

A stand for a laser projection device is provided. The stand includes a mounting structure that couples to the laser projection device. In one embodiment the stand includes three legs that are coupled together at a junction, and a central column extends downward from the junction and the mounting structure is coupled to the mounting structure, thereby permitting the laser projection device to emit light towards a ground.
