Magnetic Camera Tilt Mount for Bezel-Less Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera systems for computing and display devices face challenges in secure and convenient attachment to display assemblies, particularly in bezel-less designs where traditional camera integration is compromised.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a camera assembly with a tilt mount containing mount magnetic material and an electronic interface that magnetically attaches to the display assembly's frame, ensuring secure coupling and easy detachment while maintaining a bezel-less design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional camera integration is used in bezel-less display assemblies, then secure attachment is achieved, but the design is compromised and cannot maintain bezel-less appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system is divided into separate modules: the camera assembly with tilt mount and the display assembly with frame. This segmentation allows the camera to be attached externally using magnetic coupling rather than integrated into the display frame, thereby maintaining the bezel-less design while ensuring secure attachment through magnetic forces.
Solution Approach 2:
Traditional mechanical attachment methods (screws, clips, adhesives) are replaced with magnetic coupling. The magnetic attraction force provides secure attachment without requiring physical integration into the display frame, enabling bezel-less design while maintaining reliable camera attachment.
2Ease of operation
If magnetic attachment is used for camera assembly, then easy detachment and flexible positioning are achieved, but attachment strength may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic coupling strength can be adjusted by changing parameters such as magnet size, magnetic material properties, and spacing between magnetic components. This allows optimization of the balance between attachment strength and ease of detachment, providing both secure attachment and user-friendly operation.
3Manufacturing precision
If camera is fixed in position, then manufacturing precision is improved, but flexibility in positioning and orientation is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The tilt mount provides dynamic positioning capability, allowing the camera to be adjusted to different angles and orientations after manufacturing. This dynamic adjustment mechanism maintains manufacturing precision for the base attachment while adding flexibility for optimal camera positioning and orientation during use.
