Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adapters for connecting cameras to photographic devices like camera gimbals do not provide a convenient means for adjusting the camera's direction, leading to limitations in capturing different perspectives.
Innovation Solution
A structurally simple adapter comprising a fixed part and a rotating part, connected through an adapter pivot, with locking mechanisms allowing for secure mounting and easy adjustment of the shooting angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a complex camera angle position mechanism with multiple components (circular ring, rotating shaft, rotating pin, bracket, connecting element) is used, then the camera's direction can be adjusted, but the structure becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter is divided into distinct functional segments: a fixed part that provides mounting stability and a rotating part that enables angle adjustment. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the essential function of angle adjustment from the complex multi-component mechanism, isolating it into a simple rotating part that can pivot relative to the fixed part. This removes unnecessary components while preserving the core functionality of directional adjustment.
2Device complexity
If a simple adapter structure is used, then the structure is simplified, but convenient means for adjusting shooting angles is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter incorporates a dynamic rotating part that can pivot relative to the fixed part, enabling adjustable shooting angles. This dynamic element provides operational flexibility while maintaining overall structural simplicity, as the rotation mechanism requires no complex components.
Solution Approach 2:
The simple adapter structure serves multiple functions: the fixed part provides stable mounting, the rotating part enables angle adjustment, and the locking members secure both the mounting position and the adjusted angle. This multi-functionality achieves operational convenience without increasing structural complexity.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an adapter, a connecting mechanism, and a photographic device in the field of photographic equipment technology. One embodiment of the adapter comprises a fixed part and a rotating part, which are movably connected. The fixed part is equipped with a first locking member on the side facing away from the rotating part for locking in the mounting position, while the rotating part is equipped with a second locking member for locking the photographic device. The present disclosure utilizes the adapter as the fixed part and the rotating part, along with the second locking member, to enable adjustment of the photographic angle by installing the photographic device on the adapter. Furthermore, the first locking member allows the adapter to be installed in different mounting positions, thereby providing further adjustment of the photographic angle. The overall structure is simple and facilitates easy adjustment of the photographic angle.
