Detachable Animal Carrier Cart With Stable Bracket Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing detachable pet carts have complicated fixing methods that lack stability and are primarily designed for soft pet travel cages, limiting their use to carrying pets or small items.
Innovation Solution
An animal transporting cart with a cart body and animal carrier, featuring a supporting part connected to a frame vertical rod, and a bracket device with connecting structures that allow for stable and detachable attachment of the animal carrier, providing additional storage space and enhanced stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a lacing method or Velcro adhesive method is used to fix the pet cradle on the cart frame, then the installation is relatively simple, but the stability after being fixed is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing system is divided into separate components: connecting structures on the cart frame and corresponding connecting structures on the pet cradle. These segmented parts can be easily aligned and connected, providing both simple installation and stable fixation through the distributed connection points.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting structures are pre-designed and pre-positioned on both the cart frame and pet cradle before use. This preliminary preparation allows for quick and stable connection without requiring complex assembly operations during installation.
2Ease of manufacture
If the cart structure is designed for soft pet travel cages, then the installation is simplified, but the versatility is limited to carrying pets or small items only
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting structures are designed with universal compatibility to accommodate different types of animal carriers, including both soft and hard cages. The standardized connecting interfaces allow the same cart structure to serve multiple functions: transporting pets, carrying items, and supporting various carrier types without requiring design modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The cart structure incorporates adjustable and detachable connecting structures that can adapt to different carrier configurations. This dynamic design allows the cart to transform from a pet-specific carrier to a general-purpose transport cart, enhancing versatility while maintaining structural simplicity.
3Reliability
If a stable and detachable connection is implemented between the animal carrier and cart body, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into multiple simple connecting structures distributed at different locations. Each connecting structure is individually simple, but their combination provides overall stability. This segmentation avoids the need for a single complex connection mechanism while achieving reliable detachable attachment.
