Quick Clamping Mount for Slide-Free Camera Equipment Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing quick-mount chutes for photographic equipment require time-consuming alignment and sliding processes for installation and disassembly, making the assembly and disassembly processes inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A quick assembly device featuring a mounting base with oppositely arranged first and second clamping members, a first triggering assembly, and a second triggering assembly, allowing equipment to be installed by pivoting the second clamping member and locked in place, and released by unlocking the first triggering assembly, enabling direct upward removal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a quick-mount chute with inclined sidewalls is used, then the mounting structure is simple, but the installation and disassembly processes are time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic clamping members that can move between open and closed positions. The first and second clamping members are connected to triggering assemblies that enable them to dynamically adjust their positions, automatically clamping the equipment when triggered and releasing when reset, thus eliminating the time-consuming manual alignment and sliding processes
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping members are pre-positioned and spring-loaded to automatically engage with the equipment. When the equipment is placed in the mounting base, the clamping members are already in position to clamp, eliminating the need for time-consuming alignment operations that require manual intervention
2Device complexity
If manual alignment and sliding is required, then the mounting structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The triggering assemblies are designed to automatically activate the clamping members when equipment is placed in the mounting base. The system performs the clamping action itself without requiring manual alignment or sliding operations, making the installation process as convenient as simply placing the equipment into position
Solution Approach 2:
The triggering assemblies act as intermediaries between the equipment placement action and the clamping members. When the equipment is inserted, it triggers the triggering assemblies which then activate the clamping members, providing an automatic mediation that eliminates manual operation steps

AI summary
A quick assembly device includes: a mounting base on which a first clamping member and a second clamping member are oppositely arranged. The first clamping member and the second clamping member form a clamping groove for installing an equipment, with the second clamping member being movably mounted on the mounting base. A first triggering assembly is movably mounted on the mounting base, and a second triggering assembly is positioned at an end of the mounting base opposite to the second clamping member and is linked to the first triggering assembly. When the equipment being installed is loaded into the clamping groove, it can press the second clamping member to pivot. By locking the second triggering assembly, it can be made to abut against the first triggering assembly, so that the first triggering assembly abuts against the second clamping member, thereby locking the installed equipment in the clamping groove.
