Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate filter attachments are carried to provide multiple filter effects, then filter versatility is improved, but device weight and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple filter components (first filter component and second filter component) into a single integrated filter assembly that can be attached to one camera lens. This merging eliminates the need to carry multiple separate filter attachments while maintaining the ability to provide multiple filter effects through the combination of different filter components within the same assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter assembly is designed as a universal structure that can accommodate different types of filter components (e.g., polarizing filter, neutral density filter, creative effect filters) within the same housing. The universal design allows a single attachment to perform multiple functions by simply changing the filter component, providing multi-functionality without requiring separate attachments for each effect.
2Adaptability or versatility
If external filter accessories are used to achieve multiple filter effects, then filter versatility is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The filter assembly is segmented into distinct components: a base assembly with mounting structure, a removable filter component, and a cover assembly. This segmentation allows the filter component to be easily detached and replaced without affecting the base structure or requiring complex installation procedures. The modular design simplifies operation by enabling users to quickly swap filter components based on shooting needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The filter assembly incorporates dynamic mounting mechanisms that allow for easy attachment and detachment of the filter component. The base assembly includes mounting structures that can quickly secure and release the filter component, providing dynamic ease of operation. The cover assembly can also be dynamically opened and closed to access the filter component, further enhancing operational flexibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional filter attachments are used, then filter effects are achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the mounting structure, filter component holder, and cover assembly into a single integrated filter assembly unit. This consolidation reduces device complexity by eliminating the need for multiple separate attachments and mounting mechanisms. The unified structure simplifies the overall system while maintaining the capability to provide diverse filter effects through the interchangeable filter component.
