Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing carrying robots have inefficient and inconvenient transport mechanisms due to the single directional movement of push rod assemblies, limiting their ability to efficiently transport goods.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single push rod assembly with unidirectional movement is used, then the device structure is simple, but the transport efficiency is low and convenience is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the telescopic device into multiple independent telescopic arm assemblies (at least two), each capable of bidirectional movement. This segmentation allows goods to be transported from multiple sides simultaneously, dramatically improving transport efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements bidirectional movement capability for each telescopic arm assembly, allowing them to expand and contract in both directions along the length direction of the loading base plate. This dynamic flexibility enables versatile transport operations from any side of the base plate, enhancing both productivity and operational convenience
2Ease of operation
If telescopic arm assemblies are arranged opposite to each other with bidirectional movement, then transport convenience is improved, but the driving mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the driving functions for multiple telescopic arm assemblies into a unified driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes wheel assemblies and synchronous belts that can coordinate the movement of multiple telescopic arms simultaneously, reducing overall system complexity while enabling convenient multi-directional transport operations
Solution Approach 2:
The driving mechanism is designed with universal components such as wheel assemblies and synchronous belts that can serve multiple telescopic arm assemblies. This multi-functional design allows a single driving mechanism to control bidirectional movement of multiple arms, improving transport convenience without proportionally increasing complexity
