UV Filter Camera Verification for Bird Protection Glass
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for verifying the bird protection function on glass surfaces, particularly those effective in the UV range, are not detectable by humans, making it impossible to visually confirm the presence and effectiveness of these features.
Innovation Solution
A verification method using a camera device equipped with a UV transmission filter, which aligns the recording direction with the glass surface to capture images in the UV range, allowing the bird protection section's UV absorption and reflection effects to be visible as altered optical properties in the camera recording.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a UV-range bird protection section is applied to the glass surface, then bird protection function is improved, but detectability by human eye deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a camera device with UV transmission filter as an intermediary tool to detect and verify the UV-range bird protection section. This mediator translates the invisible UV effects into visible camera recordings, allowing human verification without compromising the invisibility of the protection section to birds and human eyes in normal conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the detection parameter from visible light range to UV range by equipping the camera device with a UV transmission filter. This parameter change enables the detection of bird protection sections that are effective in the UV range but invisible to the human eye, resolving the contradiction between effectiveness and detectability.
2Reliability
If visible-range stickers are used for bird protection, then bird protection function is improved, but aesthetics and transparency are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the bird protection function from the visible light dimension to the UV light dimension. By applying bird protection sections that work in the UV range rather than the visible range, the solution maintains glass transparency and aesthetics for human viewing while providing effective bird protection through UV reflection or absorption that birds can perceive.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameter of the bird protection section from visible light interaction to UV light interaction. This parameter change allows the glass surface to remain transparent and aesthetically pleasing in the visible range while providing bird protection through UV-range optical effects that are imperceptible to humans but visible to birds.
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
The method provides a visual proof of the bird protection function by making the UV effects visible in the camera recording, enabling humans to verify the presence and effectiveness of the bird protection section on glass surfaces.
Implementation Method 1
a UV transmission filter device (40) arranged in this beam path to limit the spectrum of the light beam incident on the optical sensor device to the UV range
Implementation Method 2
generating at least one camera recording of the glass surface with the bird protection section by means of the aligned camera device
Implementation Method 3
it can be perceived by birds due to their broader spectrum of perception in the UV range
