Detachable Detector Antenna Connection for Portable Pipeline Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pipeline detectors are integrated and long, making them inconvenient to carry and prone to damage during transportation, as they lack a detachable antenna feature that would simplify structure, assembly, and usage.
Innovation Solution
A detector with a detachable antenna design, featuring a connecting piece with a sliding rod and protruding structure, a sealing ring, and electrical contacts for easy connection and disconnection of the antenna, along with additional components like a handle, control board, battery, pointer meter, and protective sleeve for enhanced functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the detector uses an integrated design with a fixed antenna, then the structural integrity and signal reception stability are improved, but the device becomes long and inconvenient to carry, and is prone to damage during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The detector is divided into separate modules: a detector body and a detachable antenna connected through a connecting piece. This segmentation allows the antenna to be detached when not in use, reducing the overall length and improving portability, while maintaining signal reception stability when connected
2Stability of the object's composition
If the detector uses an integrated design with a fixed antenna, then the structural integrity is improved, but the device is prone to damage during movement and transportation
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the detector into a body and a detachable antenna connected via a connecting piece with blocking protrusions, the design allows the antenna to be removed during transportation, eliminating the risk of damage to the integrated structure while maintaining structural integrity when assembled
3Reliability
If the detector uses an integrated design, then the signal reception function is stable, but the device complexity increases and assembly/disassembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The detector is segmented into modular components (detector body, connecting piece, antenna) that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The connecting piece features a sliding rod with blocking protrusions that engage with corresponding structures, providing simple snap-fit connections that maintain signal reception stability while reducing assembly complexity
Solution Approach 2:
A connecting piece serves as an intermediary component between the detector body and antenna. This mediator includes a sliding rod with blocking protrusions that facilitate easy connection and disconnection, simplifying the assembly process while ensuring stable signal transmission through electrical contacts
