Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dosimeter devices with measuring elements attached to glasses lack sufficient protection, risking damage during handling or if the measuring element falls out of its housing.
Innovation Solution
A dosimeter device with a carrier part featuring a closed casing and snap or screw connection mechanisms for secure attachment to a carrying device, ensuring the measuring element is protected and securely fastened.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the measuring element is attached to glasses with a simple plug-in part, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the protection of the measuring element is insufficient and reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into three main segments: the carrier part (housing), the measuring element, and the fastening means. This segmentation allows the measuring element to be protected within the enclosed carrier part while maintaining simple attachment and removal operations through the modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring element is nested within the carrier part housing, which provides protection. The fastening means is then attached to the carrier part, creating a nested structure where the measuring element is enclosed and secured, solving both protection and ease of operation requirements.
2Reliability
If the measuring element is enclosed in a closed casing, then the protection is improved and reliability is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The closed casing is segmented into the carrier part housing and the separate fastening means. This allows the protection function to be provided by the housing while the attachment complexity is minimized by using a separate, simple fastening mechanism that can be easily attached and removed.
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening function is extracted as a separate component (fastening means) from the carrier part housing. This allows the housing to focus on protection while the fastening mechanism provides simple attachment, reducing overall structural complexity while maintaining reliability.
3Ease of operation
If the plug-in part is open on one side for insertion, then the ease of operation is improved, but the protection of the measuring element is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The measuring element is nested within the enclosed carrier part housing, which provides complete protection from damage. The open insertion design is applied only to the fastening means attachment, not to the housing itself, maintaining both protection and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is segmented so that the carrier part housing provides enclosed protection while the fastening means provides easy attachment. The insertion ease is achieved through the fastening means rather than compromising the housing enclosure, resolving the contradiction between protection and ease of operation.
