Adjustable Pet Ladder Ramp Angle Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pet ladders are unstable when erected and prone to sliding, offering a low user experience and failing to adapt to complex environments due to their fixed ramp angle.
Innovation Solution
A pet ladder with a folding mechanism that adjusts the ramp angle, featuring a first ladder body, two second ladder bodies with fixed plates, turning members, a rotary assembly, anti-skid components, and a regulating frame, allowing for manual adjustment of the ramp angle between 0-90 degrees and providing stability and non-slip functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed ramp angle is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to complex environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic ramp angle adjustment mechanism that allows the ramp angle to be changed from 0 to 90 degrees according to different usage scenarios. The regulation frame with rotating components enables the ramp to adapt to various terrains and environments, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic one that can respond to different conditions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the ramp angle is adjustable, then adaptability to complex environments is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the ramp structure into modular components including the regulation frame, rotating components, and locking mechanisms. This segmentation allows for independent adjustment of the ramp angle while maintaining overall structural integrity, making the complexity manageable and the adjustment mechanism user-friendly.
3Ease of operation
If the pet ladder is made foldable for easy transport, then ease of operation is improved, but the erection stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates pre-designed locking mechanisms and support structures that are engaged automatically or easily when the ramp is erected. These preliminary structural arrangements ensure that when the foldable ramp is set up, it immediately achieves stable configuration, eliminating the stability-portability trade-off.
4Ease of manufacture
If the ramp surface is smooth for easy cleaning, then ease of manufacture is improved, but the anti-slip performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different surface qualities to different parts of the ramp structure. The main ramp surface maintains smooth characteristics for ease of cleaning, while specific contact areas and edges incorporate anti-slip treatments or textures. This local differentiation ensures both ease of manufacture and safety against slipping.
