Solution Overview

Problem

Existing photographing apparatuses struggle with hand-shake induced camera tilt, leading to unstable images, especially when the lens is heavy and difficult to move for anti-shake purposes.

Innovation Solution

A photographing apparatus design where the photosensitive chip module is mounted on the lens module and is movable within a plane parallel to the lens body, driven by a separate driving module, allowing for anti-shake compensation without moving the lens module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the lens is moved for anti-shake, then image stability is improved, but the difficulty of operation increases when the lens is heavy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage stabilityVSAvoidease of moving lens
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of moving the lens module to achieve anti-shake compensation, the patent inverts the approach by moving the photosensitive chip module in the opposite direction. The lens module remains fixed and stationary, while the photosensitive chip module is displaced by the driving module to compensate for hand-shake, thereby resolving the contradiction between image stability and ease of operation.

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Manufacturing precision

If the lens module is made heavy for better image quality, then manufacturing precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in moving for anti-shake

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidease of moving lens
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent allows the lens module to be heavy for optimal image quality by inverting the anti-shake mechanism. Instead of requiring the heavy lens module to move, the photosensitive chip module is made movable and is displaced by the driving module to achieve anti-shake compensation, thus maintaining both high manufacturing precision and ease of operation.

Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Reliability

If the photosensitive chip module is made movable for anti-shake, then image stability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the photographing apparatus into distinct functional modules: a fixed lens module and a movable photosensitive chip module. The driving module is separately connected to the photosensitive chip module to provide anti-shake functionality. This segmentation allows the anti-shake function to be added without complicating the lens module structure, thereby improving image stability while managing device complexity through modular design.
