Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing prying tools are inconvenient for carrying objects after lifting, requiring additional tools for transportation.
Innovation Solution
A prying tool with a detachable wheel assembly that includes a main body, a wheel frame, and a wheel assembly, allowing for easy transportation of lifted objects by converting the tool into a carrying device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a prying tool is designed with a simple structure for prying and lifting, then the tool is easy to manufacture and operate, but it cannot carry objects efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The prying tool is divided into separate functional modules: a prying mechanism body and a detachable wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes a wheel frame, wheel, and fastening member that can be independently attached or removed from the prying tool body, allowing the tool to transition between simple prying mode and carrying mode with minimal structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The prying tool is designed to perform multiple functions: prying, lifting, and carrying. By integrating a detachable wheel assembly that can be attached to the prying tool body, the tool gains carrying capability while maintaining its original prying function, thus achieving multi-functionality without requiring a completely different tool design
2Adaptability or versatility
If a wheel assembly is added to enable carrying function, then the carrying capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wheel assembly is segmented into distinct components (wheel frame, wheel, fastening member) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. The wheel frame includes first and second supports positioned at opposite sides of the connecting portion, with the wheel mounted on an axle shaft that passes through both supports, creating a balanced and simple structural arrangement
Solution Approach 2:
The wheel assembly is designed to be dynamically attachable and detachable from the prying tool body through the fastening member mechanism. The fastening member can engage with the connecting portion to secure the wheel assembly for carrying operations, or be detached to remove the wheel assembly when carrying is not needed, providing dynamic adaptability
3Ease of operation
If the wheel frame is detachably connected to allow easy attachment and detachment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of connection may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system uses a dynamic fastening mechanism where the fastening member can be easily engaged or disengaged from the connecting portion. This allows the wheel assembly to be quickly attached or detached based on operational needs, while the mechanical engagement design ensures reliable connection when fastened
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening member is designed to automatically engage with the connecting portion when the wheel frame is positioned correctly, providing self-aligning and self-securing functionality. The geometric relationship between the fastening member and connecting portion ensures that proper engagement occurs without requiring additional adjustment or complex locking mechanisms

AI summary
A prying tool includes a main body, a wheel frame and a wheel assembly. The main body is provided with a prying portion, a connecting portion, and a supporting portion curvedly formed between the prying portion and the connecting portion. The wheel frame is detachably connected to the connecting portion. The wheel assembly includes a first wheel rotatably mounted to the wheel frame. Therefore, the prying tool can carry an object by the wheel assembly after prying the object.
