Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current method of attaching photography accessories to electronic devices, such as screwing them into place, is inconvenient during installation and removal, significantly impacting the shooting experience.
Innovation Solution
An installation structure with a mounting base, movably connected mounting bracket, and quick-release assembly, featuring clamping members and a trigger, allows for easy attachment and detachment of camera and optical lenses using magnets and a locking mechanism for stability and flexibility in interface types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If screwing accessories into place is used, then secure installation is achieved, but installation and removal convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is divided into separate components including a quick-release assembly with clamping members and a trigger mechanism. This segmentation allows the accessory to be quickly released by actuating the trigger, which moves the clamping members to release the accessory, thereby improving installation and removal convenience while maintaining secure installation through the multi-component clamping structure
Solution Approach 2:
The quick-release assembly introduces dynamic elements including a movable trigger and spring-loaded clamping members. The spring provides automatic engagement force to secure the accessory, while the trigger mechanism allows rapid release by overcoming the spring force, thus achieving both secure installation and operational convenience
2Stability of the object's composition
If screwing accessories into place is used, then stable connection is achieved, but time consumption for accessory switching increases
Solution Approach 1:
The spring in the quick-release assembly is pre-loaded to automatically engage and secure the accessory when the trigger is released. This preliminary action ensures that the accessory is firmly held without requiring manual tightening, significantly reducing accessory switching time while maintaining connection stability through the pre-tensioned spring mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The quick-release assembly is designed to automatically secure the accessory through spring force without requiring additional fastening actions. The system serves itself by using the spring's stored energy to maintain the clamped state, eliminating the need for manual screw tightening and reducing the time required for accessory switching while ensuring stable connection

AI summary
The present application provides an installation structure, including a mounting base, a mounting bracket, and a quick-release assembly. The mounting bracket is movably connected to the mounting base and is used for mounting an optical lens or camera lens. The quick-release assembly includes a clamping member and a trigger. The clamping member is movably arranged on the mounting base and includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member that are arranged opposite each other. The triggering member is movably arranged on the mounting base and can trigger the first clamping member and the second clamping member to clamp onto an external structure.
