Solution Overview

Problem

Existing stabilization mechanisms lack the ability to adjust their stabilization degree effectively, which is crucial for improving shooting quality in unstable environments, as they cannot adapt to varying conditions or user needs.

Innovation Solution

A stabilization degree adjustment method and device that includes a stabilization mechanism with a processor and memory to obtain and execute stabilization degree adjustment instructions, using a microcontroller, inertial sensors, and motors to adjust stabilization based on user input or adaptive settings, incorporating a visual odometry and adjustment knobs for precise control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If stabilization degree is increased to improve image clarity, then shooting quality is improved, but adaptability to varying conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage clarityVSAvoidadaptability to varying conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The stabilizer incorporates a stabilization degree adjustment mechanism that allows the stabilization parameter to be dynamically changed based on shooting conditions. The adjustment module receives adjustment instructions and modifies the stabilization degree accordingly, enabling the system to adapt between strong stabilization for static shots and reduced stabilization for dynamic movements, thus resolving the contradiction between image clarity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Stability of the object's composition

If stabilization mechanism is added to improve stability, then shooting quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stabilizer is designed with a multi-functional architecture where the adjustment module serves multiple purposes: it receives adjustment instructions from various sources (user input, control device), processes different types of commands, and coordinates with existing stabilization components. This universal design allows the same mechanism to handle both stabilization control and adjustment functions, minimizing additional complexity while improving stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If stabilization degree is adjusted dynamically to improve adaptability, then versatility is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The stabilizer includes an automatic adjustment mode where the control device autonomously determines and sends stabilization degree adjustment instructions based on analyzed shooting conditions. The system self-services by automatically adapting to different shooting scenarios without requiring manual user intervention, thus maintaining versatility while simplifying operation for users who prefer automatic control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
