Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If two clamping bodies are used to clamp the frame, then the clamping stability is improved, but the operation becomes laborious and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping assembly is divided into two independent clamping bodies that can be operated separately. Each clamping body has its own pressing part and limiting part, allowing the frame to be clamped at two different positions independently. This segmentation maintains clamping stability while simplifying operation, as each clamping body can be engaged or released individually rather than requiring simultaneous operation of a complex multi-point clamping system.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping bodies are designed to be rotatable relative to the mounting seat, transitioning between a clamping state (where the clamping body contacts the frame) and a released state (where the clamping body rotates away from the frame). This dynamic rotation mechanism allows easy engagement and disengagement of the clamping action, reducing operational complexity while maintaining stable clamping when engaged.
2Manufacturing precision
If a telescopic locking assembly with limiting part is added, then the positioning precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting part is pre-configured on the telescopic locking assembly to align with the positioning hole on the frame before clamping occurs. When the clamping body is rotated into the clamping state, the limiting part automatically inserts into the positioning hole, pre-establishing the correct positional relationship. This preliminary alignment action ensures positioning precision is achieved automatically as part of the clamping process, rather than requiring separate complex positioning mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic locking assembly with limiting part performs self-positioning by automatically aligning and inserting the limiting part into the positioning hole on the frame. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for additional complex positioning devices or manual adjustment procedures, achieving high positioning precision while actually reducing overall device complexity. The limiting part and positioning hole work together as a self-aligning system that ensures precise positioning automatically during the clamping operation.

The solution provides a labor-saving and user-friendly experience by simplifying the assembly and disassembly process, enhancing the overall usability of photography kits.
Implementation Method 1
The mounting seat further includes at least one elastic member. The at least one elastic member is mounted in the mounting seat, and the at least one elastic member is each configured for driving a respective abutting member so that the limiting part protrudes from the front end of the mounting seat.

AI summary
A photography kit is provided, which includes a first photography assembly including a first frame and a clamping assembly including two clamping bodies, a mounting seat, and a first locking assembly. The two clamping bodies are rotatably arranged on two opposite sides of the mounting seat. A connecting part is protruded at outside surfaces of the clamping bodies respectively. An end of the connecting part away from the clamping body is connected with a pressing part, which extends towards a rear end of the mounting seat, so that a pressing space is formed between the pressing part and the mounting seat. The first locking assembly is telescopically mounted to the mounting seat, a limiting part of the first locking assembly extends from the front end of the mounting seat, and the limiting part is configured for being inserted into a positioning hole correspondingly defined on the first frame.
