Physiological Measurement Seat with Segmented Shell for Door Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing teleconsultation solutions, such as booths and terminals, face challenges with limited measurement quality and bulkiness, making them unsuitable for integration into smaller spaces due to their large dimensions, which hinder accessibility and installation.
Innovation Solution
A physiological measurement device with a shell comprising two removable parts: one supporting the seat and multiple sensors, including a central unit, and another supporting a blood pressure sensor, allowing easy assembly and installation through standard doors by separating bulky elements like the blood pressure sensor into a removable part.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If teleconsultation booths integrate a large number of sensors and a central unit in a single shell, then measurement quality and accessibility to sensors are improved, but the device becomes bulky and cannot pass through standard doors
Solution Approach 1:
The shell is divided into two removable parts: a first part supporting the seat and a large number of sensors, and a second part mainly supporting the blood pressure sensor. This segmentation allows the device to be disassembled for transport through standard doors while maintaining all sensor functionalities when assembled.
2Stability of the object's composition
If teleconsultation booths use a single integrated shell to support all sensors, then structural stability is improved, but installation becomes difficult in existing spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The shell is designed with two removable parts that can be separately transported and then assembled together. This segmentation enables installation in existing spaces with standard door access while maintaining structural stability when the parts are assembled into the complete device.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the shell is made compact to fit through standard doors, then installation capacity is improved, but the space required to accommodate all sensors and the central unit is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The shell is divided into two removable parts, with the first part supporting the seat and a large number of sensors, and the second part mainly supporting the blood pressure sensor. This segmentation allows the device to be disassembled for transport through standard doors while maintaining all sensor functionalities when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The shell is designed with a specific orientation where the first part extends along a first direction and the second part extends along a second direction different from the first. This dimensional arrangement optimizes space utilization and allows compact assembly that can be transported through standard doors while accommodating all necessary sensors.
