Motorcycle Camera Vibration Reduction Cover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing straddle vehicles, including motorcycles, face challenges in firmly attaching cameras while effectively reducing vibration transmission, as previous configurations do not adequately address these issues.
Innovation Solution
A straddle vehicle design incorporating a camera stay, a vibration reduction cover made of elastic material covering at least two surfaces of the camera, and an attachment cover that holds the camera via the vibration reduction cover and is attached to the camera stay, ensuring firm attachment and reduced vibration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a sheet-shaped vibration absorber with hook-and-loop fastener is used to attach the camera, then the camera can be attached to the stay, but the vibration transmitted to the camera is not sufficiently reduced and the attachment is not firm enough
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a vibration reduction cover made of elastic material that wraps around the camera body. This flexible shell structure absorbs vibrations through elastic deformation while maintaining firm attachment. The cover encompasses the entire camera rather than using separate absorbers, creating a comprehensive vibration reduction solution that also ensures secure mounting.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system combines multiple materials with different properties: an elastic material for vibration reduction, a hard material for structural support and attachment, and a soft material for cushioning. This composite approach allows the system to simultaneously achieve vibration absorption, firm attachment, and protection of the camera.
2Device complexity
If a simple attachment method is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the vibration reduction and attachment firmness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated attachment cover structure. The cover simultaneously provides vibration reduction through its elastic material, firm attachment through its hard portion with attachment means, and cushioning through its soft portion. This consolidation achieves reliable attachment without requiring multiple separate components, balancing simplicity with effectiveness.
3Device complexity
If a simple attachment method is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but vibration reduction is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The vibration reduction cover made of elastic material acts as a flexible shell that envelops the camera. This single flexible structure provides comprehensive vibration reduction across multiple axes without requiring complex multi-component systems. The elastic material absorbs vibrations through deformation while maintaining attachment integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment cover uses composite materials with different vibration absorption characteristics. The elastic material provides primary vibration reduction, while the soft material portion adds additional cushioning. This material composition achieves effective vibration reduction in a relatively simple integrated structure.
