Quick-Release Seat Clamping Mechanism for Fast Camera Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for assembling and disassembling photography devices on brackets using threaded connections are time-consuming and laborious, making them inconvenient for use.
Innovation Solution
A quick-assembly seat with a clamping assembly and driving assembly, where the driving member slides relative to the seat body to clamp or unclamp a quick-release part, allowing for easy mounting and dismounting of photography devices on brackets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded connection is used to mount photographing device on bracket, then connection reliability is improved, but assembly and disassembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate components: a quick-release plate attached to the photographing device and a separate bracket with clamping mechanism. This segmentation allows the device to be quickly attached and detached without threading operations, resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and assembly time.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping member is designed to be movable between clamped and unclamped positions through sliding action. This dynamic mechanism enables rapid transition between locked and unlocked states, allowing quick assembly and disassembly while maintaining secure connection when clamped.
2Strength
If threaded connection is used to mount photographing device on bracket, then connection strength is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping member transitions between fixed clamped position and movable unclamped position through simple sliding action. This dynamic design provides strong connection when clamped while enabling easy operation for attachment and detachment without complex threading.
Solution Approach 2:
The quick-release plate serves as an intermediary component between the photographing device and bracket. It simplifies the operation by providing a standardized interface that can be quickly engaged and disengaged from the bracket's clamping mechanism, improving ease of operation while maintaining connection strength.
3Productivity
If quick-release mechanism is used, then assembly speed is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is segmented into standardized components (quick-release plate, clamping member, bracket) that can be manufactured independently and assembled quickly. This segmentation achieves fast assembly speed while keeping individual component complexity low through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The quick-release mechanism uses universal interfaces and standardized components that can be applied to various photographing devices and bracket types. This universality simplifies the overall system complexity by using repeatable, proven designs rather than custom complex mechanisms for each application.

AI summary
A quick-assembly seat includes a seat body, a clamping assembly and a driving assembly. The clamping assembly includes a clamping member slidably connected to the seat body, and the clamping member includes a first driving surface. The driving assembly includes a driving member slidably connected to the seat body, and the driving member includes a second driving surface. The driving member is configured to slide relative to the seat body, such that the second driving surface presses against the first driving surface, and the driving member drives the clamping member to slide relative to the seat body to clamp or unclamp a quick-release part. The quick-release assembly includes the quick-assembly seat and the quick-release part that are connected. The quick-release part can be connected to a photographing device, and the seat body can be mounted on a bracket. The photographing device can be quickly assembled on the bracket and disassembled.
