Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional large-scale photographic equipment is used, then stable photographic performance is achieved, but flexibility and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotographic performanceVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional large-scale mechanical photographic equipment with a tabletop platform that uses a combination of mechanical clamping structures and magnetic components. The equipment clamp with adjustable clamping slots and magnetic components provides stable camera fixation while maintaining ease of operation through simple adjustment mechanisms rather than complex large-scale mechanical systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustability through the pan-tilt mechanism with multiple degrees of freedom, allowing the camera to be positioned at various angles and orientations. The adjustable equipment clamp with movable clamping slots enables dynamic reconfiguration of the photographic setup, providing both stability during shooting and flexibility for different photographic scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If fixed photographic angle structure is used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to different photographic devices and angles deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidcompatibility with different photographic devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves universality through the equipment clamp designed with multiple U-shaped clamping slots at different positions and orientations. This single clamp structure can accommodate various photographic devices including cameras, smartphones, and action cameras, as well as support different shooting angles, eliminating the need for multiple specialized mounting structures.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the mounting structure into modular components: the equipment clamp with separable clamping slots, the pan-tilt mechanism with independent rotation and tilting sections, and the telescopic rod with adjustable segments. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted and configured for different photographic devices while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If limited adjustment range is used, then structural stability is improved, but photographic ability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidphotographic ability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-degree-of-freedom pan-tilt mechanism that provides extensive adjustment range while maintaining structural stability through a layered support structure. The first pan-tilt assembly allows horizontal rotation, the second pan-tilt assembly enables vertical tilting, and the telescopic rod provides height adjustment, all while being supported by a stable base structure that prevents excessive movement or instability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
