Rotating Camera Support Mount for Battery and Card Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support apparatuses for electronic devices, such as imaging devices, do not efficiently allow for the secure attachment and positioning of the device while also enabling easy access to stored components like batteries and memory cards, leading to instability during image capture and cumbersome operation.
Innovation Solution
A support apparatus with a rotatable attachment portion that moves the imaging device between a stable capture position and an accessible position, allowing for secure attachment and easy retrieval of internal components by rotating the device between unrotated and rotated states, utilizing a hinge mechanism and counterweights for balance and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the electronic device is securely attached to the support apparatus for stable image capture, then stability is improved, but accessibility to internal components for maintenance becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion is designed to rotate between a first position (for stable image capture) and a second position (for accessing internal components). This dynamic repositioning allows the system to transition between stable operation and maintenance modes, resolving the contradiction between stability and accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The support apparatus is divided into separable components including the support portion that can be detached from the electronic device. This segmentation allows the electronic device to be securely held during operation while enabling easy separation for maintenance and component replacement.
2Ease of operation
If the electronic device is positioned for easy access to internal components, then ease of operation is improved, but stability during image capture deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable support portion enables dynamic repositioning between accessibility-oriented configuration and stability-oriented configuration. When maintenance is needed, the support portion rotates to expose internal components; when imaging, it positions the device for stable capture.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed support structure is used for the electronic device, then stability is improved, but flexibility in positioning and maintenance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion incorporates rotational movement capability, transforming a fixed support structure into a dynamic one. This allows the system to adapt between different operational requirements (imaging vs. maintenance) while maintaining stability during each specific operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable design separates the support portion from the electronic device, enabling the support structure to be reconfigured or removed as needed. This segmentation provides flexibility in positioning and maintenance access while preserving stability during imaging operations.

AI summary
A support apparatus for an electronic device includes a support portion that movably supports the electronic device between a first position where an object stored in the electronic device is incapable of being taken out, and a second position where the stored object is capable of being taken out. The electronic device is attachable to the support portion, and the electronic device is moved between the first position and the second position by movement of the support portion. In addition, the support apparatus o includes a base portion to which the support portion is movably attached, and the movement of the support portion causes the electronic device to move between the first position and the second position.
