Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The vehicle-mounted type back scattering inspection system is limited in its applicability as it cannot operate in areas where the vehicle cannot reach, such as narrow spaces or hazardous environments, due to its mobility constraints.
Innovation Solution
The system is designed to transition from a vehicle-mounted working state to a ground working state, allowing the back scattering imaging device to move from the carriage to the ground, equipped with wheels for mobility, a position locking device for control, a power supply system for autonomy, and a rotatable scanning module to adjust the inspection range, enabling operation in previously inaccessible areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system is mounted on a vehicle for mobility and concealment, then the system can be quickly transferred and performed scanning while passing by vehicles, but the system cannot operate in areas where the vehicle cannot reach such as narrow spaces or hazardous environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into two independent parts: the vehicle-mounted control platform and the portable backscattering imaging device. The imaging device can be detached from the vehicle and operated independently on the ground, allowing it to access narrow spaces and hazardous areas while the vehicle provides remote control and power supply capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
A remote control system serves as an intermediary between the operator in the vehicle and the imaging device on the ground. This allows the operator to control the imaging device from a safe distance, enabling operation in hazardous environments while maintaining ease of operation through remote intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the back scattering imaging device is fixed in the carriage, then the system structure is simple, but the system cannot access narrow areas or hazardous sites
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a static fixed configuration to a dynamic reconfigurable system. The imaging device can be moved between the vehicle-mounted and ground-based positions, and the system automatically adjusts its operational mode based on the device's location, enabling access to restricted areas without requiring complex manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to perform multiple functions: it can operate with the imaging device mounted on the vehicle for general inspections, or with the device on the ground for accessing narrow spaces and hazardous areas. The same control and power supply systems support both operational modes, reducing overall system complexity while enhancing versatility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system operates remotely on the ground, then the system can inspect narrow and hazardous areas, but the system requires autonomous power supply and control capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply and control systems are extracted from the imaging device itself and relocated to the vehicle-mounted platform. This allows the imaging device to remain simple and portable while still providing autonomous operation capabilities when deployed on the ground, as it draws power and receives control signals wirelessly or through connected cables from the vehicle.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces complex mechanical power transmission and control linkages with electrical and electronic systems. Power is supplied through cables or wireless energy transfer, and control is achieved through electronic signaling, reducing the mechanical complexity of the ground-based imaging device while maintaining full operational capability.
