Oblique Rail Monitor Camera Mount for Stability and Adjustability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monitor camera mounts are inadequate as they often have a narrow top, cannot accommodate curved screens, and have a forward-leaning center of gravity, leading to instability and inconvenience in mounting, disassembly, and carrying.
Innovation Solution
A monitor camera mount featuring an adjustment assembly with a fixed oblique rail, a mounting assembly for secure attachment to the monitor, and a fitting assembly with a tripod head, allowing for adjustable mounting angles and stable positioning of cameras or webcams.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the existing mount is fixed on the desktop or back of monitor for firm mounting, then mounting stability is improved, but mounting and disassembly convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mount transitions from a fixed static structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The clamp assembly can be rotated around the monitor surface, and the camera holder can be adjusted along the rail to different positions and angles, allowing the mount to adapt between stable mounting and easy removal states.
Solution Approach 2:
The mount is divided into separate functional modules: a clamp assembly for monitor attachment, a rail for positioning, and a camera holder for camera mounting. This segmentation allows each module to be independently adjusted or removed, improving both stability during use and convenience during assembly/disassembly.
2Device complexity
If the existing mount top is made narrow, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different monitors deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp assembly is designed with a rotating mechanism that allows it to accommodate different monitor surface shapes (flat, curved, rounded corners). The same clamp structure can adapt to various monitor types by adjusting its rotation angle, providing universal compatibility without requiring multiple specialized mounts.
3Ease of operation
If the camera is tilted or equipped with long lens, then shooting range adjustment is improved, but center of gravity stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The rail is positioned obliquely upward relative to the monitor surface, creating a counterbalancing effect. When the camera is tilted or uses a long lens, the oblique rail structure provides a stabilizing moment that counteracts the forward-leaning center of gravity, preventing the camera from falling forward while still allowing shooting angle adjustment.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a stable and adjustable camera mount that can accommodate curved screens, maintains the center of gravity at the rear to prevent forward tilting, and facilitates easy assembly, disassembly, and carrying due to its adjustable design.
Implementation Method 1
a torsion spring is fitted at the hinge
Implementation Method 2
The adhesive tape can not only achieve anti-skid and buffering protection function, but also can increase the stability of mounting when the adhesive tape is pressed to be deformed to stabilize the clamping when clamped on the monitor.

AI summary
Disclosed is a monitor camera mount including an adjustment assembly, a mounting assembly and a fitting assembly, the mounting assembly being used for mounting to a monitor, the fitting assembly being connected to the mounting assembly via the adjustment assembly, where the adjustment assembly includes a fixed rail arranged obliquely upwards in a direction away from the mounting assembly, and the fitting assembly moves along the fixed rail to adjust a mounting angle of the fitting assembly. The present invention is simply constructed, and by providing a mounting surface, the center of gravity of a camera or a webcam can always be kept at the rear when the camera or the webcam is kept in a horizontal or slightly downward inclined state, so that the camera or the webcam cannot easily fall forward; an angle of the mounting surface and a connecting panel is adjustable to facilitate dismounting and carrying.
