Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile robots face limitations in structural design universality, leading to restricted usage scenarios, poor confidentiality, and inadequate safety during food transportation, especially when door plates are not easily installable.
Innovation Solution
The delivery robot features first and second support members positioned on the sides of the front or rear end of the bottom plate, allowing for easy mounting of door plates, enhancing structural stability and flexibility, and incorporating anti-collision strips and adjustable tray layers for improved safety and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If support structures are designed in the middle of two sides of the casing, then structural strength and stability are ensured, but the robot can only be adapted to large arc door plates, limiting universality
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is divided into multiple independent support members (first support member and second support member) that can be independently adjusted. Each support member can be positioned at different locations and angles, allowing the structure to adapt to various door plate configurations while maintaining overall structural strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The support members are designed to be adjustable in position and orientation rather than fixed. This dynamic configuration allows the robot to accommodate different door plate sizes and shapes, transforming the rigid support structure into a flexible system that maintains strength across multiple应用场景.
2Device complexity
If the robot operates without door plates, then structural simplicity is maintained, but confidentiality and safety protection are poor
Solution Approach 1:
Door plates are pre-configured and can be easily installed on the adjustable support members when confidentiality and safety are required. The support structure is prepared in advance to accommodate door plates, allowing quick deployment without complex assembly procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable support members serve as intermediaries between the robot body and door plates, facilitating easy installation and removal of door plates. This intermediary structure allows the robot to switch between open and enclosed configurations based on operational requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If door plates are made easy to install, then universality is improved, but structural strength may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into multiple independent support members that can individually bear loads. This segmentation distributes structural stresses across multiple points, allowing easy installation of door plates while maintaining overall structural strength through the combined support of multiple members.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the support structure have different properties optimized for specific functions. The support members have localized reinforcement at connection points to ensure strength where door plates attach, while other portions remain lightweight and adjustable for ease of installation.
