Solution Overview

Problem

Existing 360-degree photo booth designs suffer from instability due to the concentration of bearing force on a central shaft, leading to deformation, loosening, or fracture of components, especially when multiple users stand on the stage.

Innovation Solution

A high-stability 360-degree rotating photo booth is designed with a supporting base, a shooting platform, and a driving assembly that includes multiple supporting pillars between the platform and the base, along with a rotating shooting bracket driven by a motor through gear or belt drive.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a central shaft is used to connect the supporting stage and the supporting base, then the device structure is simple, but the stability deteriorates when multiple users stand on the stage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidstage stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The single central shaft support is segmented into multiple supporting pillars (at least three) that are distributed around the stage perimeter. Each pillar independently supports the stage, distributing the load and preventing the deformation that occurs when users stand at the edges. This segmentation transforms a single-point support system into a multi-point support system, dramatically improving stability while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If bearing force is concentrated on the central shaft, then the device structure is simple, but the reliability deteriorates due to loosening or fracture

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The concentrated bearing force on the central shaft is segmented into multiple bearing points through the supporting pillars. The force that would have been concentrated on a single shaft is now distributed across at least three separate pillars, each experiencing reduced load. This segmentation prevents the loosening, desoldering, or fracture that occurs when force is concentrated on a single connection point, thereby improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting pillars are positioned at specific locations around the stage perimeter, creating localized support points with optimal load-bearing characteristics. Each pillar is strategically placed to handle the local forces generated by users standing at different positions on the stage, providing tailored support where it is most needed rather than relying on a single central support point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
