Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle-mounted black boxes have weak impact resistance and high-temperature resistance, leading to potential data loss and safety hazards during use.

Innovation Solution

A protector for the vehicle-mounted black box is designed with damping material filled between the data storage module and the inner shell body to enhance impact resistance, and heat insulating material filled between the inner and outer shell bodies to improve high-temperature resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the vehicle-mounted black box uses basic protective structure, then the device complexity is low, but the impact resistance is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact resistanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-layer nested protective structure where the data storage module is placed inside an inner shell body, which is then placed inside an outer shell body. Damping material is nested between the data storage module and inner shell body, while heat insulating material is nested between the inner and outer shell bodies. This nested arrangement provides enhanced impact resistance without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple materials with different properties to create a composite protective structure. The damping material (such as foam or rubber) provides shock absorption, while the heat insulating material (such as aerogel or fiberglass) provides thermal protection. This composite material approach resolves the contradiction by achieving high impact resistance through material diversity rather than structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Temperature

If the vehicle-mounted black box uses basic protective structure, then the device complexity is low, but the high-temperature resistance is weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehigh-temperature resistanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heat insulating material is nested in the gap between the inner and outer shell bodies, creating a thermal barrier that protects the data storage module from high temperatures. This nested insulation layer provides high-temperature resistance without requiring complex active cooling systems or sophisticated thermal management structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs heat insulating materials such as aerogel, fiberglass, or foam with high thermal resistance properties. By incorporating these specialized insulating materials into the protective structure, the black box achieves high-temperature resistance through material selection rather than complex thermal management systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Strength

If damping material is added to enhance impact resistance, then the impact resistance is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact resistanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The damping material is merged with the protective shell structure, where the inner shell body serves as both a structural enclosure and a mounting surface for the damping material. This integration approach enhances impact resistance by combining the shell's structural strength with the damping material's shock absorption properties, rather than adding separate complex damping mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The damping material acts as a flexible protective layer between the rigid data storage module and the outer shell. Materials such as rubber or foam provide flexible shock absorption that protects internal components from impact forces, achieving enhanced impact resistance through simple flexible layering rather than complex mechanical damping systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

4Temperature

If heat insulating material is added to improve high-temperature resistance, then the high-temperature resistance is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehigh-temperature resistanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The heat insulating material is merged into the protective shell structure, where the space between the inner and outer shell bodies is utilized to accommodate the insulation layer. This approach provides high-temperature resistance by combining the structural shells with thermal insulation, rather than adding separate complex thermal management systems such as active cooling or phase change materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
