Solution Overview

Problem

Detecting devices, such as bio discs, are prone to contamination and damage during distribution due to friction and movement within pouches, which can affect detection results and compromise the integrity of the devices.

Innovation Solution

A detecting device packing tray with a non-contact groove and a dehumidifying agent case is designed to support and protect the detection region, preventing contact with the tray and pouch surfaces, and securely holding a dehumidifying agent to maintain humidity control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the detecting device is packaged in a pouch for distribution, then the device is protected during transport, but the detection region may be scratched due to friction with the pouch inner surface

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveprotection during transportVSAvoidfriction damage to detection region

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A tray is introduced as an intermediary structure between the detecting device and the pouch. The tray has a non-contact groove that elevates the detection region, preventing direct contact with the pouch surface. This mediator structure maintains the protective function of pouch packaging while eliminating the harmful friction effect on the detection region.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a dehumidifying agent is packed in the pouch to control humidity, then humidity is controlled, but the dehumidifying agent may move and damage the detecting device

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvehumidity controlVSAvoidphysical damage from moving dehumidifying agent

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging system is segmented into distinct functional zones: a tray structure with non-contact groove for device support, a dehumidifying agent case for humidity control, and a pouch for overall protection. This segmentation isolates the dehumidifying agent in a dedicated case, preventing it from moving and damaging the detecting device while maintaining its humidity control function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If the detection region contacts the tray surface for support, then the device is stable, but the detection region may be contaminated or damaged

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice stabilityVSAvoidcontamination or damage to detection region

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The tray surface is designed with differentiated local qualities: a non-contact groove region that provides clearance to prevent contamination and damage to the detection region, and support planes at other locations that provide stability. This local differentiation allows the detection region to be elevated and protected while other parts of the device receive support for stability.

AI summary

A detecting device packing tray is provided which prevents a detecting device from being contaminated and damaged. The detecting device packing tray includes a tray main body configured to support a detecting device including a detection region to detect a reaction result. The tray main body includes a non-contact groove provided at a position corresponding to the detection region of the detecting device when the detecting device is supported by the tray main body so that the detection region does not contact the tray main body.
