Wearable Scanner Adjusting Section Air Permeability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bar code scanners require one hand for the object and another for the scanner, leading to inefficient scanning and potential damage from frequent wear, along with skin discomfort due to poor air permeability when worn.
Innovation Solution
A wearable scanner with a scanner body and adjustable wearable portion featuring hole structures that deform to fit various sizes and enhance air permeability, reducing material stress and discomfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the wearable portion is made tight to ensure secure fitting, then the wearing stability is improved, but the air permeability deteriorates causing skin discomfort and sweating
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable portion incorporates an elastic net cloth material with inherent porosity, allowing air to pass through while maintaining structural integrity and secure fitting. The net cloth structure provides both the necessary tightness for stability and the air permeability to prevent skin discomfort and sweating during use
2Adaptability or versatility
If the wearable portion material is stretched to fit different users, then the adaptability is improved, but the material durability deteriorates due to frequent wear and tear
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable portion is designed as a modular structure consisting of an elastic net cloth main body with detachable fastening components. This segmentation allows the main body to maintain its structural integrity while the detachable parts accommodate different user sizes, reducing stress on the primary material and extending overall service life
Solution Approach 2:
The wearable portion incorporates elastic materials that dynamically adapt to different user sizes and movements. The elastic net cloth stretches and recoils elastically rather than undergoing permanent deformation, allowing repeated wear and adjustment without compromising durability or service life
3Ease of operation
If the wearable scanner is designed to be compact for portability, then the ease of operation is improved, but the wearing space for the user deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The scanner body is nested within the wearable portion structure, with the scanning device housed inside the elastic net cloth housing. This nesting arrangement maintains a compact overall form factor for portability while creating an internal wearing space that accommodates the user's finger or hand during scanning operations
