Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the camera is fixed on the interactive display screen, then the device structure is simple, but the coverage range is limited and local regions cannot be captured
Solution Approach 1:
The camera module is made rotatable through a spherical joint mechanism, allowing it to dynamically adjust its orientation and capture different regions. The rotating portion can pivot within a preset angle range, transforming the fixed camera into a dynamic one that adapts to various shooting requirements while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the camera is located at a high position, then the mounting flexibility is improved, but the angle of the recorded picture becomes bad resulting in poor shooting effect
Solution Approach 1:
The spherical joint enables the camera to dynamically adjust its shooting angle even when mounted at high positions. The rotating portion can pivot to achieve optimal viewing angles, ensuring good shooting effects while maintaining mounting flexibility. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the conflict between high-position mounting and picture quality.
3Area of moving object
If the lens module is made rotatable, then the field of view coverage is increased, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lens module is divided into a fixed portion and a rotating portion, with the rotating portion containing the lens that can pivot independently. This segmentation allows the lens to achieve omnidirectional rotation within a preset angle range while the overall device structure remains relatively simple and compact.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating portion is nested within the fixed portion, with the rotating mechanism integrated into the lens module structure. This nested design allows the rotatable components to be compactly arranged, increasing field of view coverage while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity.
