Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional X-ray detection apparatuses face deteriorated manufacturing and electrical characteristics due to poor connection between the detection panel and external devices, and repairing these apparatuses is complicated when defects occur.
Innovation Solution
An X-ray detection apparatus with a contact support unit that applies continuous pressure to maintain contact between the connection circuit unit and the detection panel, allowing for easy insertion, stable connection, and efficient replacement of the detection panel, using a press member with a sensor to manage pressure and distance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the detection panel and external devices are connected using conventional methods, then the apparatus can detect X-ray, but the manufacturing characteristics and electrical characteristics are deteriorated due to poor connection
Solution Approach 1:
A connection circuit unit is introduced as an intermediary component between the detection panel and external devices. This connection circuit unit includes a connector that facilitates reliable electrical connection while simplifying the manufacturing process. The connector acts as a mediator that resolves the contradiction by providing a standardized interface that improves both electrical characteristics and ease of manufacture.
2Reliability
If the detection panel is fixed firmly to maintain contact, then electrical connection is improved, but the panel cannot be easily replaced when defective
Solution Approach 1:
The connection mechanism is designed to be dynamic rather than static. The connector allows for easy insertion and removal of the detection panel while maintaining stable electrical connection during operation. This dynamic design enables the panel to be firmly connected during use but easily replaced when defective, resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and ease of repair.
3Reliability
If pressure is applied continuously to maintain contact, then electrical connection is stable, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is designed to self-maintain contact through its own structural characteristics. The connection circuit unit inherently provides stable electrical connection without requiring additional active pressure application mechanisms. The connector's design allows it to self-service by maintaining reliable contact through its structural properties, thereby improving contact stability without increasing overall device complexity.
