Solution Overview

Problem

Outdoor radio communication devices often disrupt the aesthetic harmony of their surroundings and impair radiation performance when disguised with display devices.

Innovation Solution

A support assembly for radio communication devices that integrates them within a rotational-slat billboard, maintaining radiation capabilities by using non-electronic advertisement slats that do not interfere with electromagnetic signals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If radio communication devices are installed in outdoor environments to transmit and receive wireless signals, then communication functionality is achieved, but the aesthetic harmony of surrounding buildings and roads is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication functionalityVSAvoidaesthetic harmony
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The radio communication device is nested inside the hollow interior of the support pole, which itself is integrated into the billboard structure. This nesting arrangement allows the communication device to be concealed within the billboard, making it invisible from the outside while maintaining full communication functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The support pole and billboard are merged into a single integrated structure, where the support pole serves dual purposes: providing structural support for the billboard and housing the radio communication device. This merging eliminates the need for separate mounting structures that would compromise aesthetics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Shape

If display devices are placed around radio communication devices to make them inconspicuous, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but the radiation performance of the radio communication device is impaired

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic appearanceVSAvoidradiation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The radio communication device is nested within the hollow interior of the support pole, positioned away from any display devices. This nested placement ensures that display devices can be attached to the exterior of the billboard without interfering with the radio communication device's radiation performance, while still achieving aesthetic concealment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Shape

If radio communication devices are placed inside billboard structures to maintain aesthetics, then visibility is reduced, but radiation performance may be affected by electromagnetic interference from advertisement devices

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovevisibilityVSAvoidradiation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The radio communication device is nested inside the hollow interior of the support pole, physically isolated from advertisement devices that would be mounted on the exterior of the billboard. This nested configuration ensures both aesthetic concealment and protection from electromagnetic interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The radio communication device is extracted from the billboard's advertisement space and placed into the hollow interior of the support pole. This extraction separates the communication device from potential sources of electromagnetic interference while maintaining its concealed position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
