Solution Overview

Problem

The traditional string trimmer design results in a large distance between the motor and the air extraction device, leading to a weakened heat dissipation effect.

Innovation Solution

The driving assembly incorporates a connecting base with a receiving hole that houses the driving body, eliminating the connecting block between the motor and the air extraction device, and includes a mounting part and locking component to reduce the distance between the air extraction device and the motor, enhancing heat dissipation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the motor is housed in a connecting base with a hole for the output shaft to pass through, then the assembly structure is simplified, but the distance between the motor and the air extraction device becomes larger and the heat dissipation effect is weakened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly structureVSAvoidheat dissipation effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The driving body is nested within the receiving hole of the connecting base, with the output shaft passing through the driving body to connect with the air extraction device. This nesting arrangement eliminates the need for a separate connecting block and minimizes the distance between the motor and air extraction device while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting part is arranged on the side of the driving body close to the output section, and the side of the driving body away from the output section passes through the receiving hole to connect with the bottom of the connecting base. This spatial reconfiguration in multiple dimensions reduces the effective distance between motor and air extraction device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the connecting base is used to house the motor, then the motor is protected and positioned, but the distance between the motor and air extraction device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotor protection and positioningVSAvoiddistance between motor and air extraction device
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The driving body is nested within the receiving hole of the connecting base, allowing the motor to be protected and positioned while minimizing the distance to the air extraction device through efficient spatial utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The output shaft is divided into an input section housed in the driving body and an output section that extends outward to connect with the air extraction device. This segmentation allows the motor to remain protected in the connecting base while the air extraction device can be positioned close to the output section.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Stability of the object's composition

If a connecting block is present between the motor and air extraction device, then the structural connection is stable, but the heat dissipation path is lengthened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural connectionVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting block is extracted from the structure by directly housing the driving body in the receiving hole of the connecting base and connecting the output shaft to the air extraction device, thereby eliminating the intermediate connecting block that was lengthening the heat dissipation path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The functions of the connecting block, motor housing, and air extraction device mounting are merged into the integrated structure of the receiving hole, driving body, and output shaft connection, reducing the overall heat dissipation path length while maintaining structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
