Solution Overview

Problem

Existing leveling devices require the user's hands, limiting their ability to perform other tasks on construction sites, as they need to be manually operated to create level lines.

Innovation Solution

A wearable laser-level glasses device with an integrated auto-leveling laser that projects vertical, horizontal, or perpendicular laser lines, allowing hands-free operation and featuring a button to control the laser modes and brightness, along with an audible tone for leveling indication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional leveling devices (chalk line, laser-level, hand level) are used, then level lines can be created with precision, but the user requires manual operation using at least one hand

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelevel line precisionVSAvoidhands-free operation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the laser-leveling function with wearable glasses, merging the measurement device with a common eyewear item. This integration allows the laser to be projected while the user's hands remain free for other tasks, resolving the contradiction between precision leveling and hands-free operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The glasses device serves multiple functions: it provides vision correction (if prescription lenses are used), safety protection (through impact-resistant lenses), and laser-leveling projection. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate tools and enables hands-free operation while maintaining measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If traditional leveling devices are used, then level lines can be projected, but the user cannot simultaneously perform other tasks requiring both hands

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion efficiencyVSAvoidhands availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The auto-leveling laser automatically adjusts and maintains the laser line without requiring manual intervention. The device self-corrects for positioning variations, allowing the user to simply wear the glasses and the system handles the leveling process autonomously, thereby improving productivity while keeping hands free

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If manual leveling devices are used, then level lines can be created, but the user requires manual adjustment and control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelevel line accuracyVSAvoidauto-leveling capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated laser system. The auto-leveling laser uses electronic sensors and algorithms to automatically calculate and project accurate level lines, eliminating the need for manual mechanical adjustments while maintaining or improving measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
