Dual-Battery Outdoor Mover for Extended Runtime and Tool Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Outdoor moving devices, such as riding mowers, often have limited energy storage capacity due to the use of fixed stationary batteries, which cannot satisfy the energy requirements for prolonged outdoor operations and multiple tasks, especially for professional users.
Innovation Solution
An outdoor moving device equipped with a dual energy storage system, comprising a detachable first energy storage device and a second energy storage device, where the second device provides greater total energy capacity, is designed to supply power to both the device and other tools, with the first device being adaptable for use with external power tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed stationary battery is used as the energy storage device, then the device structure is simple and reliable, but the maximum energy storage capacity is limited and cannot satisfy prolonged outdoor operations
Solution Approach 1:
The energy storage system is divided into two independent parts: a first energy storage device that is detachably mounted and can be removed for use with other power tools, and a second energy storage device that is fixedly mounted and provides additional energy capacity. This segmentation allows the system to achieve higher total energy storage while maintaining structural reliability through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a detachable battery is used, then the energy storage device can be used with other power tools providing versatility, but the total energy storage capacity is insufficient for extended outdoor use
Solution Approach 1:
The first energy storage device is designed with universal compatibility to be used with the outdoor moving device as well as other power tools. The second energy storage device complements it by providing additional fixed energy capacity, creating a multi-functional system that serves both portable and stationary power needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges a detachable first energy storage device with a fixed second energy storage device into a unified dual-energy storage system. When both devices are mounted together, they provide combined energy capacity sufficient for prolonged outdoor operations while maintaining the versatility of the detachable component.
3Quantity of substance
If large volume high cost batteries are provided to increase energy storage, then the energy capacity increases, but the device becomes too complex and costly for professional use
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a single large complex battery system, the energy storage is segmented into two separate devices with different mounting methods. This segmentation simplifies the overall system architecture while achieving the required energy capacity through additive combination of the two devices.
