Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hunting cameras require frequent battery replacement or charging, leading to inconvenience and disruption in use, as they cannot be used for extended periods without disassembly.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a solar device to convert light energy into electrical energy, combined with a sealed design using a sealing ring to form a waterproof cavity, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacement or charging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If the hunting camera uses traditional battery power, then the camera can operate portably, but the camera requires frequent battery replacement or charging which disrupts usage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the solar device with the upper or lower shell of the camera body, integrating power generation functionality into the camera structure. This merging allows the camera to continuously generate power during operation, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacement or charging while maintaining portability and operational convenience.
2Reliability
If the hunting camera is sealed for environmental protection, then the camera can operate in various weather conditions, but the camera structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The solar device is integrated directly with the camera's upper or lower shell, combining the protective sealing structure with the power generation component. This merging approach allows the solar panels to serve dual purposes: generating power while simultaneously forming part of the sealed protective enclosure, thus achieving environmental adaptability without significantly increasing structural complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Ensures continuous operation by converting light energy into power, maintaining a compact and user-friendly design suitable for various environments, and preventing internal component exposure to weather conditions.
Implementation Method 1
Through the arrangement of the solar device, light energy is converted into electric energy by the solar device for supplying power for the hunting camera
Implementation Method 2
The gap between the upper shell and the lower shell is sealed by the sealing ring after the upper shell and the lower shell are closed, so that the hunting camera can be used in various environmental situations
