Solution Overview

Problem

Existing camera accessories require time-consuming mounting and dismounting processes due to integrally provided fixing components that are connected with screws.

Innovation Solution

A mounting and dismounting assembly featuring a first fixing member with an inserting post and clamping part, and a second fixing member with sliders and clamping parts, allowing for rapid locking and separation by sliding the sliders to clamp or separate the inserting post, facilitating quick attachment and detachment of external objects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If fixing components are integrally provided and connected with screws, then the connection is stable and reliable, but the mounting and dismounting process becomes time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection stabilityVSAvoidmounting and dismounting time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing component is divided into a first fixing member (with inserting post and first clamping part) and a second fixing member (with slider and second clamping part). This segmentation allows the connection to be established through sliding engagement rather than screw fastening, enabling quick mounting and dismounting while maintaining connection stability through the interlocking clamping parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The slider is designed to be movable along the inserting post, transitioning between locked and unlocked positions. This dynamic mechanism allows rapid switching between mounted and dismounted states by simply sliding the slider, eliminating the time-consuming screw operations while maintaining reliable connection when locked.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If traditional screw-based fixing components are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the operation process is complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidmounting and dismounting operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the fixing component into modular first and second fixing members with standardized clamping parts, the structure remains relatively simple to manufacture while dramatically simplifying the operation. The modular design allows for easy assembly and disassembly through sliding motion, converting a complex multi-step screw operation into a simple single-action slide.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The slider acts as an intermediary element between the first and second fixing members. It mediates the connection by engaging with both the inserting post and the clamping parts, enabling rapid mounting and dismounting operations while maintaining the structural integrity and simplicity of the overall assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A mounting and dismounting assembly is provided, which includes a first fixing member including a base plate with one end provided with an inserting post with a first clamping part and the other end provided with a first connecting part; and a second fixing member including a bottom shell and at least one slider located in the bottom shell. An end of the bottom shell facing the base plate is provided with a first inserting hole for accommodating the inserting post, and an end of the bottom shell away from the base plate is provided with a second connecting part. The slider is located at a peripheral side of the inserting post and slidably connected with the bottom shell. A second clamping part clamped with the first clamping part, and an elastic piece connected with an inner side wall of the bottom shell are provided.
