Innovation Solution

A detection device comprising a casing with multiple windows for accommodating the camera module data interface and connection port units, a power board, main board, radiator, power switch, and indicator light, which includes an adapter plate for reliable fixing of power and USB ports, and a camera module data interface with two 40-pin female headers for high-speed data transmission and sensor detection capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the detection device is installed on testing equipment without fixed mounting options, then the testing speed can be maintained, but the installation difficulty increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetesting speedVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The detection device is divided into modular components including a detection board, adapter plate, and casing that can be assembled and installed independently. The adapter plate with mounting holes serves as a separate fixation module that simplifies the installation process while maintaining testing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adapter plate is pre-designed with mounting holes and connection interfaces before the actual installation on testing equipment. This preliminary preparation of mounting structures eliminates the need for complex on-site modifications and enables quick installation while preserving high-speed testing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple connection ports and interface units are added to achieve comprehensive functions, then the device functionality is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The detection board integrates multiple connection ports (USB 3.0, power ports) and interface units (camera module data interface, expansion ports) into a single multi-functional platform. This universal design allows the device to perform various testing and detection functions simultaneously without requiring separate dedicated structures for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple functional components including power management circuits, data processing units, connection ports, and interface units are merged onto a single detection board. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall device structure while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Speed

If the camera module data interface with high-speed transmission is implemented, then the data transmission speed is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission speedVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The high-speed data transmission interface uses standardized connector designs (such as USB 3.0 connectors with defined pin configurations) that can be replicated through conventional manufacturing processes. The 40-pin female header design follows established industry standards, allowing for reliable mass production without requiring specialized or complex manufacturing techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
