1Volume of moving object

If a laser level uses a traditional adjustment mechanism, then it can project laser beams, but it lacks compact structure and precise multi-axis adjustment capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure compactnessVSAvoidadjustment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment mechanism is segmented into multiple independent motors (first motor for first axis, second motor for second axis) that can independently control the platform's orientation. This segmentation allows each motor to handle specific adjustment tasks, achieving precise multi-axis control while maintaining a compact integrated structure within the housing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The platform is designed to rotate about multiple distinct rotational axes (first rotational axis and second rotational axis) rather than a single axis. This multi-dimensional rotation capability enables precise adjustment of laser beam projection in various orientations and planes, significantly improving measurement precision while maintaining compactness through efficient spatial arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If a laser level uses multiple motors for multi-axis adjustment, then adjustment precision improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment precisionVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platform serves multiple functions: it supports both the first and second laser emitting devices, provides rotation about multiple axes, and integrates the adjustment mechanism within a compact housing. The first and second motors work cooperatively to achieve comprehensive orientation control, making the platform a multi-functional component that reduces overall device complexity despite using multiple motors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The first motor and second motor are integrated within the same housing and work cooperatively to control the platform's orientation. The platform itself combines multiple rotation capabilities and supports multiple laser emitting devices. This merging of multiple adjustment functions into a single integrated platform structure reduces the number of separate components needed, thereby managing device complexity while maintaining high adjustment precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the platform rotates about multiple rotational axes, then laser beam projection versatility improves, but the mechanism requires more components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection versatilityVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platform is designed with dynamic rotation capabilities about multiple distinct rotational axes, allowing it to adapt its orientation dynamically. The first motor controls rotation about the first rotational axis, while the second motor controls rotation about the second rotational axis. This dynamic multi-axis rotation system enables the laser level to project beams in various orientations and planes, significantly improving projection versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The platform serves as a universal mounting structure that supports both the first laser emitting device and the second laser emitting device. By enabling rotation about multiple axes, the platform allows both lasers to project beams in various orientations, making the system versatile for different application scenarios without requiring separate mounting mechanisms for each laser.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A laser level emits one or more planar lasers that can be self-leveled via one or more internal leveling systems. The motors bias a platform to rotate the laser emitters to a targeted orientation, such as via the motors collectively rotating the laser emitters in response to instructions to rotate with respect to one or more axes.
