Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing opaque projectors face difficulties in capturing images of target objects that are far away or have large volumes due to fixed lens setups, making it challenging to position the target object within the image capturing range and adjust the captured image flexibly.
Innovation Solution
An opaque projector device with a hardware design comprising two bases and a joint part, connected via an Arduino® Nano transmission line, allows for flexible image capture control using a remote controller, enabling wired or wireless communication between the camera and electronic device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the lens setup is fixed, then the device structure is simple and stable, but the ability to capture images of far away or large volume target objects is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the lens setup adjustable rather than fixed. The lens can be moved along the optical axis and rotated to change its orientation, allowing the capturing range and angle to be dynamically adjusted according to different target objects, whether they are far away or have large volumes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the lens assembly into separate adjustable components, including the lens itself, the support structure, and the mounting mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be independently adjusted, enabling flexible positioning of the lens to capture various target objects while maintaining overall structural simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If the lens position is fixed, then the device structure is simple, but the flexibility to move the captured image position is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the camera positioning dynamic by introducing adjustable support structures and mounting mechanisms that allow the camera to be repositioned along the optical axis and rotated to different angles. This enables flexible adjustment of the captured image position on the display while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary components such as adjustable support arms and mounting brackets that act as mediators between the camera and the display. These intermediaries provide the necessary flexibility to move the camera and adjust image position without requiring complex direct coupling mechanisms.
3Area of stationary object
If the lens is positioned close to the display, then the image capturing range is limited, but the structure is more compact
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the lens to be moved along the optical axis away from the display, increasing the capturing range for far away or large volume objects. The adjustable support structure allows the lens position to be optimized for different scenarios while maintaining a compact form when the lens is positioned close to the display.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the optical axis dimension to separate the lens positioning from the display plane. By introducing movement along the optical axis (depth dimension) in addition to lateral positioning, the system achieves both compact footprint when needed and extended capturing range when required, effectively using dimensional freedom to resolve the contradiction.
