Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air processing devices lack a simple and effective method for installing and transmitting image data from an imaging device within the casing, leading to complex attachment processes and potential interference with the casing's structure.
Innovation Solution
An air processing device with an imaging device that includes a detachable attachment portion and a wireless communication section, allowing for easy installation and transmission of image data outside the casing without the need for internal wiring, using a wide-angle or fisheye lens to increase the imaging area and positioning the lens to minimize dust adhesion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the imaging device is installed inside the casing to acquire image data of internal components, then the imaging function is achieved, but the installation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device is separated from the main casing body through a detachable attachment portion, allowing independent installation and removal without affecting the overall casing structure. This segmentation enables simple attachment to predetermined components while maintaining the ability to easily remove the imaging device when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment portion is designed with predetermined attachment positions and structures that are pre-configured on the casing body. This preliminary preparation of attachment points eliminates the need for complex installation procedures, as the imaging device can be directly attached to the pre-designed locations without additional structural modifications.
2Area of stationary object
If the imaging device is positioned to image internal components, then the imaging coverage is improved, but dust adhesion on the lens increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device utilizes a wide-angle or fisheye lens to expand the imaging area in multiple dimensions, capturing a broader view of internal components without requiring the lens to be positioned closer to dust-prone areas. This dimensional expansion of the imaging field allows adequate coverage while maintaining a position that minimizes dust contamination.
3Loss of time
If the imaging device is detachably attached to the casing, then the installation and removal become simple, but the attachment structure requires additional components
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment portion integrates multiple functions into a single structure, combining the mounting mechanism, positioning features, and connection interfaces in one compact component. This merging reduces the number of separate parts needed while maintaining simple attachment and removal operations, eliminating the need for complex multi-component assembly systems.

AI summary
A body of a casing is provided with a predetermined component. An imaging device includes an attachment portion detachably attached to the component so as to be at a position at which the imaging device can image the at least one predetermined object to be imaged.
