Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional radiation imaging apparatuses face challenges in ease of assembly due to the obstruction caused by heat insulation members when accommodating flexible cables, and the cumbersome process of replacing these cables.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus incorporates a configuration with separate heat insulation members positioned near the cables, partitioning the internal space into incident and rear surfaces, allowing for easy assembly by eliminating the need to pass cables through holes in the insulation members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If a heat insulation member is disposed between the sensor unit and the electrical component to reduce heat transmission, then heat insulation performance is improved, but ease of assembly deteriorates due to obstruction by flexible cables
Solution Approach 1:
The heat insulation member is divided into a first heat insulation member and a second heat insulation member as separate components. The first heat insulation member is disposed between the sensor panel and the board, while the second heat insulation member is disposed between the cable and the side wall. This segmentation allows the cable to pass through the housing without being obstructed by a single integrated heat insulation member, thereby improving ease of assembly while maintaining heat insulation performance.
2Ease of operation
If the heat insulation member has a hole through which the flexible cable is passed, then ease of assembly is improved, but the operation of passing the cable through the hole becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The cable passage function is extracted from the heat insulation member. Instead of having the heat insulation member contain a hole for the cable, the cable is routed through the housing structure itself, while the heat insulation members are positioned to provide thermal insulation without obstructing the cable path. This eliminates the need to pass the cable through holes in the heat insulation member, reducing assembly time and complexity.
3Temperature
If the heat insulation member is disposed in the vicinity of the cable, then heat insulation performance is improved, but cable replacement becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the heat insulation structure into separate first and second heat insulation members positioned at different locations, the cable is not enclosed or constrained by the heat insulation components. The first heat insulation member is between the sensor panel and board, while the second is between the cable and side wall, allowing the cable to be accessed and replaced independently without removing or manipulating the heat insulation members.
