Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If surveillance devices are installed at fixed positions, then installation stability is improved, but mobility and adaptability to specific positions deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation stabilityVSAvoidmobility
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The base incorporates wheels to transform the surveillance device from a static fixed installation to a mobile dynamic system, allowing it to be moved to different positions while maintaining operational stability when deployed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If surveillance devices are made mobile with wheels, then mobility and adaptability are improved, but stability and reliability of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemobilityVSAvoidoperational stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The base uses a triangular geometric structure which provides inherent structural stability while incorporating wheels for mobility, allowing the device to be easily moved yet remain stable during operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If batteries and control units are enclosed in a sealed housing, then protection from environmental factors is improved, but heat dissipation and temperature management deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection from environmental factorsVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The top assembly is designed with selective permeability - it protects the internal components from rain and environmental factors while incorporating ventilation zones and fans to actively manage heat dissipation, creating different local properties for protection and cooling

AI summary

A base for a mobile surveillance device includes a base body having a room for receiving a battery and an equipment unit therein. Multiple first wheels are connected to the underside of the base body. A top assembly is located on a top of the base body and includes a first cover and a second cover. A ventilation zone is formed between the first and second covers. A fan is located in the ventilation zone so as to ventilate the room and the ventilation zone. A first tube has the first end thereof extending through the first and second covers, and is inserted into the room. A second tube is retractably inserted into the second end of the first tube and has cameras attached thereto. Multiple solar panels are connected to the top assembly to provide power to the battery and the cameras.
