Underwater Spectacles Radar Obstacle Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional underwater spectacles, such as swimming goggles or diving masks, are limited in providing comprehensive environmental awareness, failing to detect obstacles and physical condition information around the user, and cannot effectively communicate external underwater situation or safety data.
Innovation Solution
The underwater spectacles incorporate an intelligent control system with multiple radars, a microprocessor, and a warning device, including a display module, audio output, and sensors for detecting water conditions and heart rate, allowing for real-time obstacle and danger information detection and communication to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional swimming goggles or diving masks are used, then the user can maintain eyes open in water environment, but the user cannot detect obstacles and environmental information around the head
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional components (radars for obstacle detection, sensors for environmental monitoring, display modules for information presentation, and audio output for warnings) into an integrated intelligent control system that is incorporated into the spectacles structure, allowing comprehensive environmental awareness while maintaining a unified device
Solution Approach 2:
The spectacles are designed with multi-functionality by incorporating radars that detect obstacles in multiple directions, various sensors for monitoring water conditions and user physical state, and multiple warning channels (visual and audio), enabling a single device to perform detection, monitoring, and warning functions simultaneously
2Reliability
If multiple radars and sensors are added to detect obstacles and environmental information, then comprehensive environmental awareness is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The intelligent control system is segmented into distinct functional modules: multiple radars positioned at different locations for directional obstacle detection, separate sensors for environmental parameters (temperature, pressure, flow velocity, water quality), a microprocessor for data processing, and independent warning devices. This modular segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function reliably while maintaining overall system manageability
3Measurement precision
If radars are disposed on spectacle holder and spectacle belts, then obstacle detection coverage is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The radar system is segmented into multiple independent units that can be disposed on different parts of the spectacles structure (spectacle holder and spectacle belts). Each radar unit operates independently to detect obstacles in its specific direction, and the modular design allows for simplified manufacturing and assembly of each component separately before integration
