Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If conventional trolleys are used to support large loads, then they can transport heavy objects, but they are difficult to load and hold the load securely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveload capacityVSAvoidease of loading
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The trolley employs adjustable wheel blocks that can be positioned at different distances from the center shaft block, allowing the platform dimensions to be dynamically changed according to load requirements. This dynamic adjustability enables secure loading of various sized objects while maintaining load capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The trolley allows changing the parameters of wheel block positions and platform dimensions to match different load sizes. By adjusting the distance between wheel blocks and center shaft block, the platform can be configured to securely hold objects of varying dimensions, improving ease of loading while maintaining capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If conventional trolleys are used for transport, then they can move objects, but they cannot effectively deal with rugged terrain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransport efficiencyVSAvoidterrain adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustable wheel block configuration allows the trolley to adapt its geometry to different terrain conditions. By modifying the distance between wheel blocks and center shaft block, the trolley can maintain stability on rugged terrain while preserving transport efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional trolleys are used, then they can transport loads, but they are not multifunctional and cannot be easily expanded

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovemultifunctionalityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The trolley is designed with adjustable wheel blocks and platform dimensions that can be configured for different transport scenarios and load types. This universality enables a single trolley structure to handle multiple functions including transporting various sized objects, adapting to different terrains, and accommodating different load capacities without requiring multiple specialized devices.

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If fixed-size trolleys are used, then the structure is simple, but they cannot adapt to various use scenarios and article sizes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesize adaptabilityVSAvoidadjusting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The trolley incorporates adjustable wheel blocks with mechanisms to change the distance from the center shaft block, enabling the platform size to be dynamically adapted to various use scenarios and article sizes while maintaining a relatively simple base structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
