Solution Overview

Problem

Existing handheld camera-stabilization tripod heads have remote control switches with limited functionality and require separate on/off operations, leading to complex and inefficient user experiences.

Innovation Solution

A handheld camera-stabilization tripod head with a remote control assembly featuring electrical feeler pins and contacts, chips, and switches that allow synchronous on/off states between the tripod head body and remote control assembly, enabling quick activation and control through magnetic attraction and wireless communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a remote control switch is inlaid in a recess of the tripod head, then the remote control function is integrated, but the operational complexity increases due to separate on/off requirements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveremote control integrationVSAvoidoperational complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the remote control assembly with the tripod head body by providing a recess that receives and secures the remote control assembly. The electrical feeler pins extend from the tripod head into the recess to establish electrical connection with the remote control assembly, creating an integrated unit that functions as a single system rather than separate components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements automatic power synchronization where the power state of one component automatically controls the other. When the tripod head body is powered on, it automatically powers on the remote control assembly through the electrical connection. Similarly, when the remote control assembly is powered on, it automatically powers on the tripod head body, eliminating the need for separate manual power operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the remote control switch and tripod head are separate components, then they can be independently controlled, but the activation time increases due to separate on/off operations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveindependent control capabilityVSAvoidactivation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The electrical connection is pre-established through the feeler pins that extend into the recess during assembly. This preliminary electrical connection is made before use, so that when either component is powered on, the power signal can immediately be transmitted to the other component without requiring additional connection steps or time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If electrical feeler pins are used for connection, then the electrical connection is reliable, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical electrical connection mechanisms (such as pluggable connectors with multiple contacts and springs) with a simpler feeler pin structure. The feeler pins are simple elongated elements that extend from the tripod head into the recess and make direct electrical contact with corresponding contacts in the remote control assembly, eliminating the need for complex mechanical coupling structures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
