Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded connection is used to mount the photographing device on the bracket, then the connection is stable and reliable, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes time-consuming and laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic quick-release mechanism where the clamping member can be quickly moved between clamped and released states through a releasing member. This dynamic design allows the connection to be both stable during use and easily disconnected when needed, resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and assembly speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The releasing member is designed to enable single-handed operation where the user can quickly release the clamping member without requiring tools or assistance. The spring member automatically returns the clamping member to its clamped position after release, making the system self-servicing and eliminating the time-consuming threaded connection process.
2Reliability
If threaded connection is used to mount the photographing device on the bracket, then the connection is secure, but the operation becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex threaded connection process and replaces it with a simplified quick-release mechanism. The releasing member allows the user to disengage the clamping member from the mounting portion with a single action, eliminating the need for screws, nuts, or other threaded fastening components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameter from rotational threading to linear displacement. The clamping member moves along the first direction to engage or disengage from the mounting portion, transforming the complex rotational motion of threaded connections into simple linear movement that is easier to operate.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a transition piece with threaded connection is used, then the photographing device can be mounted on the bracket, but the assembly process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical threaded connection system with a spring-based quick-release mechanism. The spring member provides continuous clamping force to maintain the connection, while the releasing member allows rapid disengagement, significantly improving assembly speed while maintaining mounting capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring member is pre-loaded to automatically maintain the clamping member in the clamped position. This preliminary action ensures the connection is continuously secure without requiring the user to repeatedly tighten threaded fasteners, thereby improving assembly speed while maintaining adaptability.

AI summary
A quick-assembly seat includes a seat body, a clamping assembly and a driving assembly. The clamping assembly includes a clamping member and a touch member which are slidably connected to the seat body. The driving assembly includes a first driving member and a third driving member, where one end of the first driving member and one end of a third driving member are connected to the seat body, and the other end of the first driving member and the other end of the third driving member are respectively connected to the clamping member and the touch member. The clamping member is configured to move along a first direction toward an inside of the seat body, so that the first driving member accumulates a driving force, and the third driving member releases a driving force to drive the touch member to be clamped with the clamping member.
