Wireless Power Camera Body with Nested Glass Fitting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic equipment, such as surveillance cameras, face damage when detached from structures due to dirt accumulation and potential collisions during cleaning or maintenance, as existing solutions do not effectively protect the power and communication components.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a seat with a first fitting portion and a camera body with a second fitting portion, where the first fitting portion is made of glass and fits into a recessed second fitting portion, housing a power transmitting coil and antenna within the seat and a power receiving coil and antenna within the camera body, allowing for wireless power transmission and communication without exposing these components to damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If the electronic equipment is made detachable for cleaning, then ease of maintenance is improved, but the risk of damage during detachment and cleaning increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic equipment is divided into two separable parts: a seat fixed to the structure and a camera body that can be detached. This segmentation allows the camera body to be easily removed for cleaning while the seat remains installed, resolving the contradiction between ease of maintenance and damage risk during detachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The fitting portion of the camera body is inserted into a recess of the seat, creating a nested structure where one component fits within another. This nesting design enables easy attachment and detachment while protecting internal components during the detachment process, addressing both ease of maintenance and damage prevention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the power transmitting coil and antenna are exposed for wireless communication, then adaptability is improved, but vulnerability to damage and environmental factors increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power transmitting coil and antenna are positioned within the housing of the seat, nested inside the structural enclosure. This nested arrangement allows wireless communication functionality while protecting the sensitive electromagnetic components from physical damage and environmental factors such as water and chemicals.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing acts as a protective shell that encloses the power transmitting coil and antenna. This shell structure provides mechanical protection while allowing electromagnetic waves to pass through, enabling wireless communication functionality without exposing the components to harmful external factors.

AI summary
An electronic equipment includes an attachment fixed to an object; and a main body. The attachment has a first fitting portion provided on an outer face of a first housing of the attachment and having a first glass, and a power transmitting coil to wirelessly transmit power. The main body has a second fitting portion provided on an outer face of a second housing of the main body and having a second glass, which is attachable to and detachable from the first fitting portion, and a power receiving coil to wirelessly receive the power transmitted from the power transmitting coil.
