Solution Overview

Problem

Current electric lifting tables have poor sensitivity in detecting resistance during the lifting process, leading to low safety performance, as they can only effectively sense large resistances or rely on vibration sensors.

Innovation Solution

A collision prevention control system for electric lifting tables equipped with an acceleration and gyroscope chip, which interacts with a single-chip microcomputer to build coordinate systems, calculate angular variations, and use a Kalman Filter Algorithm to detect resistance by comparing angular changes with threshold values.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current detection method is used, then device complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance detection sensitivityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional current-based detection method with an acceleration sensor-based detection method. The acceleration sensor detects resistance by measuring changes in acceleration during the lifting process, substituting the mechanical/electrical current detection approach with a sensor-based physical measurement approach, thereby improving detection sensitivity without significantly increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the detection parameter from motor current to acceleration. By monitoring acceleration changes during the lifting process, the system can detect resistance encounters more sensitively. The control method analyzes acceleration data to determine when resistance is encountered, representing a fundamental parameter change in the detection approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If vibration sensor is used, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance detection sensitivityVSAvoidsensor system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The acceleration sensor serves multiple functions: it detects resistance encounters during lifting, monitors the lifting process dynamics, and provides data for control decisions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate vibration sensors, thereby improving measurement precision while limiting the increase in device complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The acceleration sensor utilizes the existing motion and vibration of the lifting table during operation to detect resistance. The sensor leverages the natural dynamics of the system itself rather than requiring additional active sensing mechanisms, allowing it to perform resistance detection using the system's own operational characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
