Protective Cover With Integrated ASIC For Pressure Measuring Cells
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a protective cover for electronic devices, particularly ceramic pressure measuring cells, that can safeguard against mechanical and chemical damage while enabling efficient data transmission and improving electromagnetic compatibility in harsh environments.
Innovation Solution
A protective cover with an integrated application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and electrically conductive areas, such as a grid-shaped metal layer, that provides a data connection and enhances electromagnetic compatibility, made partially of plastic and potentially fluid-tight for added protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the electronics or circuitry are arranged in the protective cover, then the design becomes more compact and space is saved, but the protective cover becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the protective cover with the electrical circuit and connecting element into a single integrated component. The protective cover houses the ASIC and connecting element, eliminating the need for separate mounting space for these electronics while performing multiple functions (protection, data transmission, electromagnetic shielding) simultaneously.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the protective cover includes an electrically conductive area for electromagnetic compatibility, then electromagnetic radiation protection is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective cover combines plastic material with an electrically conductive area (such as a metal layer or conductive coating) to create a composite structure. This allows the cover to provide both mechanical protection and electromagnetic compatibility functions, utilizing the properties of different materials in a single component.
3Ease of manufacture
If the protective cover is made partially of plastic, then cost and ease of manufacture are improved, but protection against mechanical damage may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The protective cover uses plastic as the base material for cost-effective manufacturing while incorporating additional protective elements such as electrically conductive metal layers or reinforcement structures. This composite approach maintains the economic advantages of plastic while enhancing mechanical and electromagnetic protection properties.
