Detachable Handling Truck Base Assembly for Compact Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing handling trucks occupy substantial space during transportation due to the fixed connection between the moving assembly and the base, leading to increased packaging and transportation costs.
Innovation Solution
A handling truck design that allows for a detachable connection between the moving assembly and the base using a connecting member, enabling disassembly during transportation to reduce occupied space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the moving assembly is fixedly connected to the base, then the structural stability is improved, but the transportation space occupied increases
Solution Approach 1:
The handling truck is divided into separable components: the base with socket portion and the moving assembly with connecting portion. These segments can be disconnected during transportation to reduce space occupation, and reconnected during operation to restore structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the base and moving assembly transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The connecting member allows the system to switch between connected (stable) and disconnected (compact) states based on operational requirements.
2Loss of substance
If the base and mast assembly are disassembled for packaging, then the packaging cost is reduced, but the assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The handling truck is divided into separable components: the base with socket portion and the moving assembly with connecting portion. These segments can be disconnected during transportation to reduce space occupation, and reconnected during operation to restore structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
A connecting member acts as an intermediary element between the socket portion and connecting portion. This simple intermediary component enables easy assembly and disassembly operations, reducing both packaging complexity and reassembly complexity while allowing cost-effective transportation.
3Strength
If the moving assembly and base are non-detachably connected, then the structural integrity is improved, but the transportation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between the base and moving assembly transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The connecting member allows the system to switch between connected (stable) and disconnected (compact) states based on operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
A connecting member acts as an intermediary element between the socket portion and connecting portion. This simple intermediary component enables easy assembly and disassembly operations, reducing both packaging complexity and reassembly complexity while allowing cost-effective transportation.

AI summary
A handling truck comprises a mast assembly, a base, a moving assembly, and a connecting member. The base is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the mast assembly, and the base is provided with a socket portion. The moving assembly includes a leg assembly and a connecting portion, wherein one end of the connecting portion is connected to the leg assembly, and the other end of the connecting portion is configured for socket engagement with the socket portion. The moving assembly is configured to drive the mast assembly to move on a plane. The connecting member is configured to pass through the socket portion and the connecting portion to achieve a detachable connection between the moving assembly and the base. The present application provides a handling truck capable of reducing packaging costs and transportation costs.
