Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic detonation devices for blasting systems require separate supports to fix wireless communication modules, which increase manufacturing costs and installation complexity, and do not allow for stable wireless communication regardless of the module's placement direction.
Innovation Solution
A ground-fixable electronic detonation device with a module fixing pin part that can be driven into the ground to stabilize the wireless communication module, featuring a donut-shaped housing with a hollow center for the pin, and mechanisms for easy storage and portability of the electronic detonator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a separate support is used to fix the wireless communication module, then the module position can be fixed, but manufacturing cost increases and installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the wireless communication module housing with the fixing pin function by integrating a hollow cavity in the housing that receives and secures the fixing pin directly. This eliminates the need for separate support structures, reducing both manufacturing cost and installation complexity while maintaining reliable module positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing structure serves multiple functions: it protects the wireless communication module, provides a mounting structure for the antenna, and incorporates an integrated fixing mechanism through the hollow cavity that receives the fixing pin. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate support components.
2Ease of operation
If the wireless communication module is placed directly on the ground, then installation is simple, but wireless communication stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing pin acts as an intermediary element between the ground and the wireless communication module housing. The pin is inserted through the hollow cavity of the housing and secured in the ground, providing stable mechanical support and positioning while maintaining simple installation procedures.
3Reliability
If the wireless communication module is held spaced apart from the ground, then stable wireless communication is achieved, but manufacturing cost increases due to separate support
Solution Approach 1:
The housing structure is designed with an integrated hollow cavity that incorporates the fixing pin reception function directly into the module housing. This merging of functions eliminates the need for separate support components, reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining the module's elevated position for stable wireless communication.
4Reliability
If a separate support is used for the wireless communication module, then the module can be positioned, but portability and storage convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing mechanism is integrated into the module housing itself through the hollow cavity design, eliminating separate support structures. This integration maintains positioning reliability while improving portability and storage convenience by reducing the number of components and simplifying the overall structure.
