Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The reliability of existing sealed optoelectronic isolation connection devices is low due to seawater entering the sealed cabin through broken copper conduits, damaging electronic devices inside.
Innovation Solution
A sealed optoelectronic isolation connection device comprising an insulation cylinder, conduit sealing device, and optical fiber sealing device, where each optical fiber is sealed through optical fiber holes and the conduit is sealed through a conduit hole, preventing seawater from entering the cabin even if the conduit breaks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If only the copper conduit is sealed while optical fibers pass through the same sealing structure, then the device structure is simple, but seawater can enter the sealed cabin through broken conduits damaging electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the sealing structure into two independent parts: a conduit sealing device that seals the copper conduit and an optical fiber sealing device that seals the optical fibers. This segmentation allows each sealing device to independently protect its respective component, preventing seawater from entering through either the conduit or optical fibers, thus resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and sealing reliability.
2Reliability
If separate sealing devices are used for conduit and optical fibers, then sealing reliability is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the conduit sealing device and optical fiber sealing device into a single integrated sealed optoelectronic isolation connection device. Both sealing devices are mounted on the same insulating support plate and sealed to the sealed cabin together, forming a unified structure. This merging approach maintains high sealing reliability while avoiding excessive structural complexity, as the two sealing functions share common mounting and sealing infrastructure.
