Rearview Camera Housing With Integrated Warning Light Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Riders on vehicles such as bicycles face safety risks due to the lack of effective rearview systems that provide timely warnings to pedestrians and vehicles behind them, increasing the likelihood of collisions during emergency braking or turns.
Innovation Solution
A camera housing device with a camera and display system that captures rear images and emits warning lights based on motion information, such as deceleration or turning, to alert pedestrians and vehicles, improving the rider's safety by reducing collision risks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a camera and display system are added to provide rearview monitoring, then safety warning capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the camera housing device with the display device into an integrated rearview system. The camera is embedded in the housing device, and the display device is installed on the same housing, merging multiple functions (camera mounting, display, warning light emission) into a single integrated unit. This reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall system structure while maintaining safety warning capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing device serves multiple functions: it houses the camera, mounts the display device, contains the warning light, and provides structural support. By making the housing device multi-functional, the patent avoids the need for separate structures for each function, thereby reducing device complexity while improving safety warning capability.
2Volume of moving object
If warning lights are positioned close to the camera for compact design, then device compactness is improved, but light emission effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the warning light on the cover of the housing device, utilizing the three-dimensional space available in the housing structure. By distributing components along different spatial dimensions (camera in the housing body, light on the cover, display on the housing), the patent achieves both compactness and effective light emission without requiring excessive separation between components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If electrical connection terminals are distributed across multiple locations, then layout flexibility is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the electrical connection system into two separate terminals: a first electrical connection terminal on the base and a second electrical connection terminal on the cover. This segmentation allows each terminal to be independently positioned for optimal layout flexibility while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes for each component separately.
