Remote Control Assembly for Fast-Activating Camera Stabilizer Heads
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handheld camera stabilization devices suffer from a remote control switch with limited functionality and require separate activation of the device and switch, leading to complex operations and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A handheld camera-stabilization tripod head with a remote control assembly featuring electrical feeler pins and contacts, chips, and switches that allow synchronous activation or deactivation of the tripod head body and remote control assembly, enabling quick connection and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a remote control switch is inlaid in a recess of the tripod head body, then the remote control function is integrated into the stabilization device, but the remote control switch has only one function and cannot be quickly connected to the tripod head body
Solution Approach 1:
The remote control assembly is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a remote control switch for camera operations and as a device that can be quickly connected to and activated with the tripod head body through magnetic attraction and electrical contact, eliminating the need for separate activation steps
Solution Approach 2:
The remote control assembly and tripod head body are merged into a single integrated system where the remote control assembly can be detachably connected to the tripod head body. The magnetic attraction mechanism and electrical contact system combine connection and activation into one action, reducing operational complexity while maintaining versatility
2Ease of operation
If the remote control switch and tripod head body are separately activated, then each component can be controlled independently, but the operations become complex and users cannot quickly connect and use the device
Solution Approach 1:
The remote control assembly is pre-equipped with magnetic attraction mechanisms and electrical contacts that are ready to engage with the tripod head body. When the user brings the remote control assembly near the tripod head body, the magnetic field is already prepared to provide attraction force, and the electrical contacts are positioned to automatically establish connection, enabling quick synchronization without manual activation steps
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the magnetic attraction automatically guides the remote control assembly into the correct position on the tripod head body, and the electrical contacts automatically establish connection when the components are brought together. This eliminates the need for users to manually perform complex activation procedures, reducing both operational complexity and connection time
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 quick and synchronized activation of the tripod head and remote control assembly, improving user experience by allowing seamless integration and reducing operational complexity.
Implementation Method 1
an end of the rotary knob stretches into the remote control assembly and is provided with a magnet element, and a Hall element matched with the magnet element is arranged in the remote control assembly
Implementation Method 2
when the remote control assembly is received in the recess, the remote control assembly is magnetically attracted to the assembly area
