Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote sensing observation equipment lacks a protective device, making the instruments vulnerable to collision and damage when not in use.

Innovation Solution

The equipment incorporates a dual protective shell system, where the first protective shell and the second protective shell can be closed to fully encase the remote sensing observation instrument, preventing damage from collisions and providing protection when the equipment is not in use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If no protective device is added to keep the structure simple, then the device complexity is low, but the remote sensing observation instrument is vulnerable to collision and damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of remote sensing observation instrumentVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a nested protective shell structure where the first protective shell and second protective shell are positioned one inside another. The first protective shell is disposed at the lower side of the remote sensing observation instrument, while the second protective shell is disposed at the upper side, creating a layered protection system that maximizes protection while minimizing space occupation and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The protective shells are pre-positioned in fixed locations relative to the remote sensing observation instrument. The first protective shell is fixedly connected to the base at the lower side, and the second protective shell is fixedly connected at the upper side, providing protection before any collision can occur without requiring complex active protection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If protective shells are added to protect the instrument, then the reliability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of remote sensing observation instrumentVSAvoidprotective structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The protective structure is divided into two separate segments: the first protective shell and the second protective shell. Each shell independently protects different portions of the remote sensing observation instrument, allowing for simpler individual components rather than one complex protective structure, and enabling easier maintenance or replacement of individual shells if needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
