Recently, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new type of radar reflector, MRr470, with a very unique panel assembly and connection mechanism. The inventor has applied for a patent and hopes to apply it to more fields, such as our daily furniture. Component assembly.
In daily life, we will encounter all kinds of furniture, such as cabinets, tables, bookshelves, etc. In order to ensure the stability of their overall structure, we often use screws to fix each part.
However, this traditional method of using screws also has some problems, such as dust accumulation, rust, insecurity, etc. Another important point is that disassembly and assembly become very troublesome, which will affect packaging and transportation.
Recently, Cornelius Senn, a metrology engineer at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at ETH Zurich, and his postdoctoral colleague Silvan Leinss have developed a new component connection mechanism through innovative exploration, which can stably connect different panels of the radar reflector. Different parts of the panel ( Usually made of metal or plexiglass) can be stably attached together. Instead of screws, they use an angled blade, which is very easy to attach, assemble and disassemble.
This innovative link mechanism of radar transmitters is expected to replace the role of screws in the future and be applied to more fields, such as bookshelves, cabinets and other furniture in daily life. Similarly, this mechanism can also be applied to roof structures. This may be A revolutionary innovation mechanism!
