Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intelligence capsules are complex to assemble and difficult to miniaturize due to rigid-flex boards with hard substrates, making them cumbersome and time-consuming to produce.
Innovation Solution
A novel intelligence capsule structure featuring a shell, detecting module with substrates and sensors, and a power supplying module, where the detecting module is aligned along the axial direction and the power module is perpendicular, with conducting sheets connecting them, allowing for easy assembly and miniaturization through fine-line production on substrates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If rigid-flex boards with hard substrates are used in existing intelligence capsules, then structural stability is improved, but assembly complexity increases and manufacturing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The capsule is divided into distinct functional modules: a power supply module containing the button battery, a detection module with sensors and substrates, and a shell. This segmentation allows each module to be assembled and tested independently, then integrated into the final capsule, significantly reducing overall assembly complexity while maintaining structural stability through modular connections.
2Stability of the object's composition
If rigid-flex boards with hard substrates are used in existing intelligence capsules, then structural stability is improved, but manufacturing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply module and detection module are pre-assembled and pre-tested as complete functional units before being integrated into the capsule shell. The button battery, conducting sheets, and sensor substrates are prepared in advance with preliminary connections, allowing the final assembly to be completed quickly by simply placing pre-assembled modules into the shell, thereby reducing manufacturing time while maintaining structural integrity.
3Volume of moving object
If fine-line production on substrates is enabled, then capsule volume is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible substrate films that can be manufactured with fine-line circuitry patterns. These thin film substrates allow for high-density component arrangement and fine-line trace routing while maintaining flexibility and conformability within the capsule structure, enabling volume reduction without requiring excessive manufacturing precision through rigid PCB fabrication methods.
