Innovation Solution
A mobile laboratory with a casing, lifting hooks, a supporting frame, testing room, dressing room, disinfection buffer room, ventilating mechanisms, water treatment systems, and ultraviolet sterilization lamps, along with a signal transceiver for data transmission, is designed to facilitate efficient sampling, disinfection, and data collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If samples are transported to a distant testing place, then testing can be performed with proper equipment, but transportation time increases and timely inspection becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential testing functions from a fixed laboratory and places them in a mobile laboratory that can be transported to the incident location. This allows testing to be performed on-site, eliminating transportation time for samples while maintaining proper testing conditions with equipped facilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a stationary testing location to a mobile testing platform, adding the dimension of mobility. The mobile laboratory can move between locations, transforming the testing process from sample transport to the lab to the lab moving to the samples.
2Reliability
If cleaning and disinfection are performed before and after testing, then contamination is prevented, but water consumed during cleaning cannot be collected and processed, resulting in secondary pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a water recovery system that collects wastewater from cleaning and disinfection processes. The collected water is then treated through a water treatment mechanism, transforming waste water into reusable or safely disposed water, thereby preventing secondary pollution while maintaining effective cleaning procedures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a mobile laboratory is designed with multiple functional rooms and treatment mechanisms, then comprehensive testing and disinfection capabilities are achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mobile laboratory into distinct functional modules including testing room, dressing room, disinfection buffer room, and water treatment mechanism. Each module performs a specific function, allowing the complex system to be organized into manageable segments that can be independently maintained and operated.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple essential functions (testing, disinfection, water treatment, ventilation) into a single integrated mobile laboratory unit. This consolidation provides comprehensive capabilities in one portable structure, achieving versatility without requiring separate independent systems.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If ventilation mechanisms are provided in the laboratory, then air quality is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a natural ventilation system that utilizes the mobile laboratory's structural design to enable passive air circulation. The ventilation mechanisms are integrated into the door frames and utilize natural convection and pressure differences, eliminating the need for complex mechanical ventilation equipment while maintaining effective air quality control.
