Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If sampling and laboratory analysis is used for large or immovable objects, then detection can be performed on objects that cannot be moved, but the detection results may not accurately reflect the actual radiation situation due to sample selection and submission time factors
Solution Approach 1:
The radiation detector is extracted from the laboratory environment and mounted on a mobile platform that can be moved to the object's location. This allows direct in-situ detection without sampling, eliminating the inaccuracies introduced by sample selection and submission processes while maintaining detection capability for large or immovable objects
Solution Approach 2:
A mobile mounting bracket with adjustment mechanisms serves as an intermediary between the detector and the object. This intermediary structure enables precise positioning and alignment of the detector with the object's surface from various angles, ensuring accurate direct detection while simplifying the operational process
2Ease of operation
If fixed position detection is used, then the detection setup is simple, but the detector cannot be aligned properly with large or immovable objects from different angles and positions
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket incorporates height adjustment and angle adjustment mechanisms that transform the fixed detection setup into a dynamic, adaptable system. These mechanisms allow the detector to be positioned at different heights and angles relative to the object while maintaining operational simplicity through manual or automated adjustment
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile mounting bracket with multiple adjustment mechanisms serves multiple functions: it provides mobility to reach different locations, enables height adjustment for various object sizes, and allows angle adjustment for different detection directions. This multi-functional design maintains simplicity while achieving versatility
