Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminal devices face challenges in reducing the thickness of camera modules while maintaining functionality and providing adjustable support for different viewing angles, which hinders their thinning and lightening trend.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal device design incorporating a telescopic bracket that integrates the camera module into the housing, allowing for adjustable thickness and support, with the telescopic bracket providing dust protection and easy switching between imaging states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the camera module thickness is reduced to make the mobile terminal thinner, then the overall device thickness is reduced, but the camera module's imaging functionality and dust protection capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The camera module is nested within the telescopic bracket structure, which provides both mechanical support and dust protection. The telescopic bracket acts as a protective housing that can extend to provide adequate protection while allowing the camera module itself to remain thin when retracted.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic bracket provides dynamic adjustment capability, allowing the camera module to be positioned at different distances from the housing surface. This enables the system to maintain thin profile during normal use while extending protection and functionality when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a support frame is added to provide adjustable viewing angles, then the adaptability for different occasions is improved, but the device thickness and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic bracket serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides dust protection for the camera module, enables adjustable viewing angles for different shooting scenarios, and maintains a compact profile when retracted. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate support frames.
Solution Approach 2:
The support function and camera protection function are merged into a single telescopic bracket structure. This integration reduces the number of separate components and allows both functions to be achieved without increasing overall device thickness.
3Device complexity
If the camera module is integrated into the housing, then the device structure is simplified, but the ability to provide dust protection and adjust for different shooting scenarios is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system is segmented into the camera module itself and the telescopic bracket structure. This segmentation allows the camera module to be thin and integrated while the bracket provides external protection and adjustability functions.
