Magnetic Mount with Stop Plates for Secure Device Fixing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video surveillance recorders attached to security staff or police officers' garments often fall off during dynamic movements, causing interruptions and inefficiencies in investigation and evidence collection.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic mount with upper and lower stop plates on the base and fixing member prevents sliding, ensuring the media recording device remains securely attached to the garment through magnetic attraction, enhancing stability during movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a magnetic mount is used to fix a media recording device on a garment, then the device can be easily attached and detached, but the fixing member may slide relative to the base during dynamic movements
Solution Approach 1:
The base is divided into multiple functional components: a lower stop plate for preventing downward sliding, an upper stop plate for preventing upward sliding, and side stop plates for preventing lateral movement. This segmentation of restraint functions into distinct structural elements effectively prevents the fixing member from sliding during dynamic movements while preserving magnetic attachment ease
Solution Approach 2:
Stop plates serve as intermediary structures between the magnetic mounting system and the fixing member. These intermediaries provide mechanical constraints that complement the magnetic attraction force, creating a hybrid restraint system that combines the ease of magnetic attachment with the stability of mechanical stopping
2Stability of the object's composition
If conventional fixing methods are used, then the device may remain stable, but it cannot be easily detached or adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (screws, clips, adhesives) with a magnetic field-based attachment system. The magnetic attraction provides sufficient holding force for stability during normal operation, while allowing easy detachment simply by overcoming the magnetic force, thus achieving both stability and ease of operation without complex mechanical components
