Vehicle Battery Carrying Mechanism With Lever-Jack Lifting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for carrying and placing vehicle batteries are ergonomically challenging and pose safety risks due to the weight and potential for chemical exposure, as they often require human power and lack mechanisms for balanced lifting and precise placement.
Innovation Solution
A carrying mechanism featuring a carrying strap and carrier with a lifting profile that allows the battery to be lifted and placed vertically, using a lever jack mechanism to balance and stabilize the battery, ensuring it is carried and positioned without human power and minimizing the risk of damage or chemical exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If human force is used to carry the battery, then the battery can be moved, but the worker is exposed to safety risks and health hazards due to the battery's weight and potential chemical exposure
Solution Approach 1:
A carrying mechanism acts as an intermediary between the worker and the battery. The mechanism includes a carrying body with a receiving cavity that holds the battery, lifting arms that lift the battery vertically, and a conveyor belt that secures the battery during transport. This intermediary system eliminates direct human contact with the battery, preventing chemical exposure while enabling safe movement of the heavy battery.
2Ease of operation
If human force is used to carry the battery, then the battery can be transported, but the worker may suffer occupational accidents due to the battery's weight exceeding ergonomic limits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the human mechanical lifting system with an automated mechanical lifting system. The carrying mechanism includes lifting arms with jack mechanisms that provide vertical lifting motion, and a conveyor belt system that provides horizontal transport. This substitution eliminates the need for workers to manually lift and carry the heavy battery, preventing occupational accidents while enabling efficient battery replacement.
3Device complexity
If the battery is carried without a specialized mechanism, then the carrying process is simple, but the battery may fall or be damaged during transport
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: a carrying body with receiving cavity for holding the battery, lifting arms with jack mechanisms for vertical lifting, a conveyor belt for horizontal transport, and securing elements to fix the battery in position. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function reliably, ensuring the battery is securely held and transported without falling or damage, while maintaining reasonable overall system complexity.
