Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing destruction devices are unable to properly handle and destroy various types of storage devices with different shapes and sizes, often resulting in damage to the tray and crushing tool due to improper combinations.
Innovation Solution
A destruction device equipped with a support plate mounting part, crushing member mounting part, support plate detection part, and crushing member detection part, along with a control unit that ensures the correct type of support plate and crushing member are matched before initiating the crushing process, allowing for the proper destruction of multiple types of storage devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single destruction device is used to destroy multiple types of storage devices with different shapes and sizes, then the versatility of the device is improved, but the risk of mechanical interference and damage to the tray and crushing tool increases
Solution Approach 1:
The destruction device is segmented into multiple detachable components: multiple trays of different sizes and shapes, and multiple crushing tools with different geometries. Each tray-crushing tool combination is designed for specific storage device types. The device allows selective assembly of appropriate components based on the storage device to be destroyed, thereby achieving versatility while preventing mechanical interference through proper matching.
Solution Approach 2:
The destruction device achieves multi-functionality by incorporating multiple trays and crushing tools that can be selectively mounted. The control unit provides universal control over different combinations, automatically selecting the appropriate tray and crushing tool pair based on the storage device type. This allows a single device to handle various storage device formats (3.5-inch HDD, 2.5-inch HDD, SSD, etc.) without requiring multiple dedicated devices.
2Manufacturing precision
If different trays and crushing tools are mounted for different storage device types, then the precision of destruction is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates dynamic component selection capability, where the control unit automatically determines the appropriate tray and crushing tool combination based on the mounted storage device type. The system dynamically adjusts the configuration by selecting specific components from the available set, rather than requiring manual selection. This dynamic adaptation simplifies the operation despite having multiple components, as the control system manages the complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit incorporates feedback mechanisms to detect the type of storage device mounted and automatically selects the corresponding tray and crushing tool combination. The system receives feedback about the storage device configuration and adjusts the component selection accordingly, ensuring precise matching between the tray-crushing tool pair and the storage device being destroyed. This feedback-based automation reduces the operational complexity for the user.

AI summary
A destruction device capable of destroying a plurality of types of storage devices includes: a support plate mounting part to which a support plate is detachably mounted; a crushing member mounting part to which a crushing member is detachably mounted; a support plate detection part capable of detecting the support plate mounted on the support plate mounting part; a crushing member detection part capable of detecting the crushing member mounted on the crushing member mounting part; and a control unit that determines whether the support plate detected by the support plate detection part and the crushing member detected by the crushing member detection part correspond to a same type of storage device, and executes a crushing process for crushing the storage device upon determining that the support plate and the crushing member correspond to the same type of storage device.
