Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing monitoring camera systems fail to perform stable shooting in high-temperature environments, such as the dryer hood in a papermaking machine, due to heat-induced errors and contaminant adherence.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring camera device with a housing section containing the camera and introducing cooling air to maintain a stable temperature, while also using an air spraying section to prevent contaminants from adhering to the lens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a general monitoring camera is used to shoot the inside of the dryer hood, then the camera can be installed, but the camera cannot perform stable shooting due to high temperature causing errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the camera into a distinct housing section that is isolated from the high-temperature environment. The housing section contains the camera and provides a protected space where cooling air can be introduced, effectively segmenting the camera from the hot dryer hood environment.
Solution Approach 2:
Cooling air acts as an intermediary substance between the high-temperature environment and the camera. The cooling air is introduced into the housing section to absorb heat and maintain a stable temperature for the camera, mediating the thermal interaction between the hot environment and the sensitive camera.
2Reliability
If the monitoring camera is exposed to the high-temperature environment, then the camera can monitor the dryer hood, but contaminants will adhere to the camera and lens
Solution Approach 1:
The housing section segments the camera from the contaminant-laden environment. By containing the camera within the housing and introducing cooling air, the system creates a separate zone that is protected from contaminants while still enabling monitoring of the dryer hood through the camera.
Solution Approach 2:
Cooling air serves as an intermediary barrier that prevents contaminants from reaching the camera. The flowing cooling air creates a protective environment within the housing section, blocking contaminants from adhering to the camera and lens while allowing thermal management.
3Reliability
If cooling air is introduced into the housing section, then the camera temperature is stabilized, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The housing section is designed as a segmented structure with distinct components: the housing itself, the camera compartment, and openings for cooling air intake and exhaust. This segmentation allows for modular assembly and maintenance while providing effective thermal management.
