Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a vehicle transporting frame is used for small and medium-sized vehicles, then the frame structure is suitable and compact, but it cannot accommodate medium-to-large vehicles and SUVs due to space constraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle size adaptabilityVSAvoidcontainer internal space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the upper frame adjustable relative to the lower frame through telescopic support members. The support members can extend and retract, allowing the upper frame to change its position and angle dynamically. This enables the same frame structure to accommodate vehicles of different sizes by adjusting the frame configuration, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and space constraints

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes physical parameters of the frame structure, specifically the distance between the upper and lower frames and the angle of the upper frame, by using telescopic support members with adjustable lengths. This allows the frame to be reconfigured for different vehicle types, enabling accommodation of medium-to-large vehicles while maintaining container space utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If medium-to-large vehicles are loaded flat in the container, then space utilization seems maximized, but operators cannot enter the container to secure vehicles and drivers cannot exit after loading

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloading efficiencyVSAvoidoperator accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustable upper frame creates dynamic loading configurations that can be optimized for both efficiency and accessibility. By adjusting the frame angle and position, the loading process can be streamlined while maintaining operator access, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The frame is segmented into adjustable components (upper frame, lower frame, telescopic support members) that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the frame to be configured in ways that facilitate both efficient loading and operator accessibility, addressing the contradiction between productivity and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the upper frame is fixed relative to the lower frame, then the structure is simple and stable, but it cannot optimize container space utilization for different vehicle sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace optimization capabilityVSAvoidframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces controlled dynamics through telescopic support members that allow the upper frame to adjust its position relative to the lower frame. This dynamic capability enables space optimization for different vehicle sizes while maintaining relative structural simplicity through standardized mechanical components, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The telescopic support members serve multiple functions: they provide structural support, enable angle adjustment, and facilitate space optimization. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional complex components, allowing the frame to adapt to different vehicle sizes without proportionally increasing device complexity

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

AI summary

The present invention discloses a vehicle transporting frame, comprising a lower frame, standing posts, and an upper frame. The standing posts have one end hinged to the lower frame and are sleeved with sleeve tubes slidable relative thereto, and the sleeve tubes have sleeve tube connection shafts. The upper frame has one end hinged to the lower frame and the other end connected with the connection shafts. According to the present invention, an angle of the upper frame of the vehicle transporting frame relative to the lower frame is adjustable, thus enabling optimal utilization of an internal space of a container. Furthermore, medium-to-large vehicles and SUVs can be loaded on and secured at an outer side of the container, thus eliminating operation inconvenience or safety risks caused by insufficient space within the container.
