Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing detection devices with large detection areas face difficulties in mobility and are prone to damage due to their size and increased risk of collision with foreign objects.
Innovation Solution
A foldable detection device with interchangeable detection panels that can switch between unfolded and folded states, allowing for large-area detection in the unfolded state and small-area detection in the folded state, combined with an image signal processing method that merges calibrated image signals from both panels to create a seamless image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the detection panel size is increased to meet large-area detection needs, then the detection area is improved, but the mobility and ease of transport deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The detection device is divided into multiple detachable detection panels that can be separated into different sizes. The device includes a first detection panel and a second detection panel that can be combined or used separately, allowing the detection area to be segmented according to specific application needs while maintaining ease of transport when panels are separated.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection device employs a dynamic configuration where detection panels can be attached or detached based on operational requirements. The device transitions between a first configuration (with first detection panel) and a second configuration (with second detection panel), enabling adaptability between large-area detection and easy mobility.
2Area of stationary object
If the detection panel size is increased to meet large-area detection needs, then the detection area is improved, but the risk of damage from foreign object collision increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the detection device into multiple smaller panels that can be separated, the device reduces the exposure area vulnerable to foreign object damage during transport. When not in use, only the necessary detection panel is deployed, minimizing the risk of damage to unused panels.
Solution Approach 2:
The device allows for selective use of detection panels based on operational needs. Panels that are not currently needed for detection can be detached or stored separately, reducing their exposure to potential damage from foreign objects during transport and storage phases.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple detection panels are used to achieve large-area detection, then the detection area is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection device uses identical or similar detection panels that can serve multiple functions - each panel can be used independently for small-area detection or combined with other panels for large-area detection. This universality simplifies the overall system design compared to creating entirely different devices for different detection areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The device enables merging of multiple detection panels to achieve large-area detection when needed. The panels are designed to be combinable through simple attachment mechanisms, allowing the system to achieve extended detection area without requiring complex integrated designs for each configuration.
