Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image capturing kits block external light to prevent reflection, making it impossible to capture images of hand work performed within the capturing space.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus with a box part surrounding the work area, including a wall part, top plate, and an image capturing device installation part, equipped with illumination parts to illuminate and capture hand work while preventing external light reflection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the box part blocks external light to prevent reflection, then image quality is improved, but the ability to capture hand work is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidability to capture hand work
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The box part is segmented into multiple functional components: wall parts for blocking external light, illumination parts for providing controlled lighting, and an image capturing device installation part for mounting the camera. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while working together to resolve the contradiction between blocking external light and enabling hand work capture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Illumination parts are introduced as an intermediary element between the external environment and the work area. These illumination parts provide controlled artificial lighting that enables hand work capture without requiring external light, thereby maintaining the light-blocking function while enabling the desired imaging capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the box part blocks external light, then reflection is reduced, but illumination of the work area becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereflectionVSAvoidillumination of work area
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

Illumination parts are installed within the box part in advance to provide pre-controlled lighting for the work area. This preliminary action ensures that when external light is blocked, the work area remains adequately illuminated through the built-in illumination system, resolving the contradiction between reducing reflection and maintaining illumination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
