Vehicle-Mounted Shielding Screen With Framed Panels for Fast Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screens for shielding areas of operation during emergencies are cumbersome to assemble, require significant space in vehicles, and often fail to maintain a safe distance from the operation area, leading to traffic disruptions and safety risks for emergency personnel.
Innovation Solution
A screen system with a frame connected to a securing element, allowing for easy setup and disassembly, which maintains a distance from the operation area and can be adapted to various environments, featuring a frame with rods or panels made of lightweight materials and adjustable joints for stability and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fold-out screen with support posts and fastening cables is used, then shielding function is provided, but assembly time increases and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple detachable panels that can be independently handled and assembled. Each panel contains integrated support structures, eliminating the need for separate support posts and fastening cables, thus reducing assembly complexity and time while maintaining shielding effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structures and fastening mechanisms are merged directly into the panel design itself. The panels incorporate built-in support elements that eliminate the need for separate support posts and external fastening cables, simplifying the overall assembly process while ensuring stable shielding.
2Reliability
If a fold-out screen with support posts and fastening cables is used, then shielding function is provided, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screen system is segmented into self-contained panels with integrated support and fastening features. This segmentation eliminates the need for multiple separate components (support posts, cables, external fasteners), reducing structural complexity while preserving the shielding function.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functions (shielding, support, fastening) are merged into single integrated panels. This consolidation reduces the total number of components and interconnections required, thereby simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining reliable shielding performance.
3Reliability
If an inflatable screen is used, then shielding function is provided, but securing difficulty increases especially in wind
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is segmented into rigid or semi-rigid panels that can be independently secured to the vehicle. Each panel has dedicated mounting points that provide stable attachment resistant to wind forces, eliminating the securing difficulties associated with inflatable structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The inflatable mechanical system is replaced with a panel-based structure that uses direct mechanical attachment to the vehicle. This substitution provides more reliable securing in windy conditions while maintaining the shielding function.
4Reliability
If a roll-out screen stretched between trailer and emergency vehicle is used, then shielding function is provided, but distance control to operation area becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The screen panels are designed to be universally mountable at various positions on the emergency vehicle. Multiple mounting locations and adjustable positioning mechanisms allow the screen to be placed at optimal distances from the operation area, providing both shielding function and flexible distance control for different operational scenarios.
