Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle data logging systems lack a compact and efficient solution for mounting a data logger and power source, which can lead to increased complexity and potential power drainage from the vehicle battery.
Innovation Solution
A data logging assembly is proposed, where a data logger and a power source are mounted on a substrate, providing a compact and efficient solution for vehicle data logging systems. The assembly includes a substrate with a printed circuit board, where the data logger and power source are securely mounted and electrically connected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a data logger and power source are mounted separately in existing vehicle data logging systems, then the system can be assembled with standard components, but the system complexity increases and the vehicle battery may be drained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the data logger and power source into a single integrated assembly mounted on a substrate. This merging of previously separate components reduces system complexity by eliminating multiple mounting locations and connection points, while the integrated design ensures proper power management to prevent vehicle battery drainage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the power source and data logger into distinct functional modules mounted on a common substrate. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining a compact integrated structure, reducing overall system complexity compared to separate installations.
2Productivity
If a compact data logging assembly is implemented, then system efficiency and compactness are improved, but the mounting and electrical connection requirements become more stringent
Solution Approach 1:
The substrate serves multiple functions: it provides mechanical mounting for both the data logger and power source, establishes electrical connections between components, and enables compact integration. This multi-functionality improves data logging efficiency while managing the precision requirements through a standardized platform.
3Duration of action of stationary object
If the data logger is continuously powered, then data logging operations can be maintained without interruption, but the vehicle battery may be drained
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated assembly includes a power source that autonomously manages power supply to the data logger. This self-service power management enables continuous data logging operations while preventing vehicle battery drainage through integrated power control, eliminating the need for external power management systems.
