Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intelligent robots face challenges in protecting their environment sensing devices from external impacts and dust, which can lead to signal interference and reduced operational reliability.
Innovation Solution
The intelligent robot design incorporates a movable protective side plate with a light transmission region and a partition structure that separates the environment sensing device from the control circuit board, preventing signal reflection and dust entry, while allowing for efficient signal transmission and reception within a preset scanning angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the environment sensing device protrudes from the upper cover to directly send and receive signals, then the sensing function is facilitated, but the device is vulnerable to external impacts and dust entry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a light transmission region (transparent protective cover) that acts as a flexible barrier, allowing sensing signals to pass through while protecting the environment sensing device from external impacts and dust. This thin film structure maintains sensing functionality while providing physical protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The light transmission region serves as an intermediary element between the environment sensing device and the external environment. It mediates the interaction by allowing light signals to pass through while blocking harmful physical factors like dust and impacts, thus protecting the sensing device without isolating it completely.
2Reliability
If the environment sensing device is exposed to the outside, then signal transmission is efficient, but signal reflection and interference from the control circuit board occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the internal space into two separate regions: a first space for the environment sensing device and a second space for the control circuit board. This segmentation prevents signal interference between the two components while maintaining efficient signal transmission for the sensing device through the light transmission region.
Solution Approach 2:
The control circuit board is extracted from the first space and placed in a separate second space. This extraction removes the source of signal reflection and interference from the sensing environment, allowing the environment sensing device to operate without harmful electromagnetic interference.
3Device complexity
If the protective side plate is fixed, then the structure is simple, but the device cannot adapt to different operational conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The protective side plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, connected via a rotating connection that allows it to rotate between a first position (protecting the light transmission region) and a second position (exposing it). This dynamic structure enables adaptation to different operational conditions while maintaining relatively simple construction.
