Bidirectional Rotary Camera Structure With Integrated Climate Sensing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing camera designs face limitations in appearance diversity, increased product cost, and restricted rotational capabilities due to the need for additional shells and separate temperature and humidity sensing modules, which also affect the camera's shape and manufacturing cost.
Innovation Solution
A hidden bidirectional rotary camera with integrated temperature and humidity sensing, featuring a ball-head shell with vertical and horizontal stepping motors, a motor bracket system, and a key structure that isolates internal cavities from external air, allowing for both vertical and horizontal rotations while housing the sensing module within the camera's design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a ball-head part is wrapped with a shell to fix the motor shaft for up-down rotation, then the rotation function is realized, but the appearance is limited and product cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the up-down rotation function and left-right rotation function into a single integrated ball-head structure. The motor shaft is directly integrated into the ball-head assembly without requiring a separate shell wrapper, allowing both vertical and horizontal rotations to be achieved through the unified ball-head mechanism, thereby reducing structural complexity and improving appearance diversity
2Reliability
If a shell is added to wrap the ball-head part, then the motor shaft can be fixed, but the product cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the unnecessary shell component from the traditional ball-head structure. By directly integrating the motor shaft into the ball-head assembly and using the ball-head's own structural features for fixation, the design removes the redundant shell wrapper, thereby reducing manufacturing steps, material costs, and assembly complexity
3Measurement precision
If a separate temperature and humidity sensing module is made, then sensing accuracy is improved, but appearance is limited and product cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the temperature and humidity sensing module directly into the camera body structure, merging the sensing function with the existing housing. The sensing module is embedded within the camera's key structure, eliminating the need for a separate independent sensing unit, thereby maintaining appearance diversity while achieving accurate environmental sensing
