Prompter Position Adjustment Assembly for Camera Lens Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing prompter systems lack the ability to adjust the vertical position of the camera lens relative to the opening of the blackout cloth, limiting camera installation flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A position adjustment assembly featuring a telescopic seat with a nested outer and inner shell, allowing for vertical adjustment of the camera lens through telescoping action, combined with horizontal adjustment via sliding on a base.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the camera is installed at the installation member, then the horizontal position of the camera can be adjusted, but the vertical position between the lens of the camera and the opening of the blackout cloth cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a telescopic seat structure where the inner shell is nested within the outer shell, allowing the inner shell to slide vertically along the outer shell. This nested configuration enables vertical position adjustment of the camera while maintaining a compact form factor, directly resolving the limitation of fixed vertical positioning in conventional installations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static installation structure into a dynamic one by introducing a telescopic mechanism with sliding inner and outer shells. This dynamic structure allows the vertical position to be adjusted as needed, enabling both horizontal and vertical positioning flexibility for camera installation, thereby improving adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a telescopic seat with nested shells is used, then vertical position adjustment is enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The nested shell design allows the telescopic mechanism to be compact and self-contained. The inner shell slides within the outer shell, creating a space-efficient structure that adds vertical adjustment capability without requiring additional external components or excessive space, thus limiting the increase in overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic seat structure serves multiple functions: it provides vertical position adjustment, maintains horizontal adjustability, and offers a compact form factor. By consolidating these functions into a single integrated mechanism, the patent avoids the need for separate adjustment systems, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
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
Enables precise alignment of the camera lens with the opening of the blackout cloth, accommodating cameras of different specifications and simplifying the adjustment process, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of camera installation.
Implementation Method 1
a screw fixed to the outer shell; a moving rod threaded on an outer side of the screw and rotatably connected to the inner shell; and a driving member configured to drive the moving rod to rotate relative to the screw, so that the moving rod spins out or spins in the screw to drive the inner shell to extend or retract relative to the outer shell
Implementation Method 2
the active member is configured to be a worm, the driven member is configured to be a worm gear, and the worm gear is fixed on the outer side of the moving rod; the second driving member is configured to be a knob for operating a rotation of the worm
