Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional battery cell detection apparatuses do not adequately protect radiation detectors from excessive exposure to radiation, leading to reduced service life.
Innovation Solution
A detection apparatus with a shielding plate and supporting mechanism that blocks a portion of radiation projected onto the detector, using a first shielding plate positioned to cooperate with the to-be-detected object to reduce direct exposure, and optionally incorporating a second shielding plate to cover gaps between supporting bodies, along with a control element to manage radiation source activation based on object position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a radiation source and radiation detector are disposed opposite to each other for battery cell detection, then detection capability is improved, but radiation exposure to the detector increases, reducing its service life
Solution Approach 1:
A shielding plate is introduced as an intermediary component between the radiation source and the radiation detector. The shielding plate selectively blocks radiation paths while allowing the detection function to continue, thereby protecting the detector from excessive radiation exposure without compromising detection capability
Solution Approach 2:
The shielding plate is designed with specific geometric features including a through-hole positioned at the center and extending along the long axis, with dimensions carefully controlled (width 1-10mm, length 10-50mm). This local structural optimization allows radiation to pass through specific regions while blocking other areas, achieving both protection and detection functionality
2Duration of action of stationary object
If a shielding plate is added to block radiation, then detector protection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The shielding plate serves multiple functions simultaneously: it blocks harmful radiation paths to protect the detector, provides mechanical support structure, and incorporates a through-hole for radiation transmission. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity
3Duration of action of stationary object
If the shielding plate blocks radiation, then detector exposure is reduced, but detection accuracy may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The shielding plate incorporates a through-hole with specifically controlled dimensions (width 1-10mm, length 10-50mm) positioned at the center along the long axis. This local structural design allows radiation to pass through the through-hole region while blocking other areas, maintaining detection accuracy while protecting the detector
Solution Approach 2:
The shielding plate blocks only the excessive radiation paths that would harm the detector, while allowing necessary radiation to pass through the through-hole for detection. This partial blocking approach ensures detector protection without compromising the detection function
