Laser Radar Module Integrated Robot Housing Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional robots equipped with laser radar modules face damage and security issues due to exposure, as these modules are susceptible to obstruction and environmental hazards, leading to failure in target detection and tracking.
Innovation Solution
The laser radar module is integrated within a robot's housing with a protective structure comprising an upper cover and lower case, featuring a gap for signal transmission and reception, along with a locking assembly and reinforcing members, to safeguard the module while allowing unobstructed signal passage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the laser radar is arranged outside the housing to avoid obstruction, then the detection capability is improved, but the security and reliability deteriorate due to exposure to environmental damage
Solution Approach 1:
The laser radar module is nested within the housing structure, with the upper cover and lower case forming a protective enclosure. The module is positioned inside the housing cavity, surrounded by protective structures including reinforcing members and locking assemblies, while still maintaining external detection capability through the designed opening.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the laser radar is placed inside the housing for protection, then security is improved, but the detection capability deteriorates due to potential signal obstruction
Solution Approach 1:
The housing structure features localized openings and transparent portions in specific areas (front surface and side surfaces) that allow laser signals to pass through while maintaining protection in other areas. The upper cover and lower case are designed with selective transparency to enable detection functionality only where needed.
3Reliability
If a protective structure is added around the laser radar module, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The upper cover and lower case serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide structural protection for the laser radar module, create a sealed housing environment, and incorporate transparent portions that enable laser signal transmission. The locking assembly and reinforcing members are integrated into this multi-functional structure rather than being separate components.

AI summary
A laser radar module includes a laser radar, an upper cover disposed above the laser radar, a lower case disposed below the laser radar, and a locking assembly for connecting the upper cover to the lower case. A gap is formed between the upper cover and the lower case for the laser radar to transmit and receive signals.
