Dismantling Machine Camera Viewpoint for Operator Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In conventional dismantling systems, operators face difficulties in maintaining visibility of the working parts of objects being dismantled, especially when the distance between the object and the dismantling machine increases, making it challenging to perform dismantling tasks effectively.
Innovation Solution
A dismantling system that includes a dismantling machine with a dismantling unit, a viewpoint providing device (such as an imaging device) to offer a second viewpoint position for visual recognition, and a dismantling operation device allowing the operator to control the dismantling unit within the provided field of view, ensuring the working part remains visible and accessible.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the operator performs dismantling work from a cab position, then the operator can control the dismantling machine remotely, but the visibility of the working part of the object to be dismantled deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A camera is introduced as an intermediary device to capture images of the working part and transmit them to the cab, enabling the operator to see the working area remotely without being physically present at the dismantling site
Solution Approach 2:
The camera creates a visual copy (image) of the working part, which is then displayed in the cab, allowing the operator to view the working area through this copied visual information rather than direct observation
2Adaptability or versatility
If the distance between the object to be dismantled and the tip attachment increases, then the dismantling machine can access more areas, but the visibility of both the object and tip attachment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The camera provides a visual copy of the working part that can be viewed in the cab, allowing the operator to maintain visibility even when the tip attachment is positioned at a greater distance from the object to be dismantled
3Stability of the object's composition
If the operator position is fixed in the cab, then the operator can maintain stable control, but the visibility of different working parts of the object deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system acts as an intermediary that brings the working part to the operator's viewpoint in the cab, eliminating the need for the operator to move physically while maintaining visibility of different working areas through camera positioning and orientation

AI summary
A dismantling system includes a dismantling machine including a tip attachment for dismantling an object to be dismantled, an imaging device that provides a field of view from a second viewpoint position for visually recognizing an object to be dismantled, which is different from a first viewpoint position of an operator, and a dismantling operation device that receives operation by an operator of the tip attachment for dismantling an object to be dismantled with respect to the field of view provided by the imaging device.
