Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional floor cutting machines face difficulties in mounting a dust collection cover due to the inclination of the main frame, which affects direction adjustment, cutting angle, and ease of movement, leading to deteriorated cutting performance.

Innovation Solution

A floor cutting machine design with a separate cutting frame for the blade, allowing independent movement, coupled with a dust collection system featuring a wire manipulation unit and springs for secure attachment, and an auxiliary wheel for direction adjustment, enabling easier dust collection and improved cutting efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the cutting blade is attached to the main frame, then the cutting blade can be moved upwards and downwards with the main frame, but the main frame becomes inclined relative to the floor, making it difficult to fix the dust collection cover

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting blade movementVSAvoidmain frame inclination
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the machine into separate functional components: the main frame, the cutting frame with cutting blade, and the dust collection cover. The cutting frame is detachably connected to the main frame, allowing the cutting blade to be moved independently without inclining the entire main frame, thus enabling proper fixation of the dust collection cover.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The cutting frame is designed to be movable relative to the main frame, allowing dynamic adjustment of the cutting blade position. This dynamic structure enables the cutting blade to be raised and lowered independently while keeping the main frame stable and horizontal for proper dust collection cover fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If the main frame is inclined relative to the floor, then the cutting blade can be positioned for cutting, but the entirety of the floor cutting machine becomes inclined, making it difficult to fix the dust collection cover

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting blade positionVSAvoiddust collection cover fixation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the cutting function from the support function by using a detachable cutting frame. This segmentation allows the cutting blade to be precisely positioned on the cutting frame while the main frame remains stable and horizontal, providing a proper base for fixing the dust collection cover.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the main frame is inclined, then cutting angle adjustment is possible, but direction change and cutting angle adjustment become difficult, deteriorating cutting performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting angle adjustmentVSAvoidcutting performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable cutting frame design allows dynamic adjustment of both the cutting angle and direction. The cutting frame can be independently positioned and angled relative to the main frame, enabling flexible cutting operations without compromising the stability of the main frame, thus maintaining high cutting performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Manufacturing precision

If the main frame is inclined, then the cutting blade can be positioned for cutting, but load is applied to the rear part of the floor cutting machine, making it not easy for the worker to move the floor cutting machine

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecutting blade positionVSAvoidrear frame load
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the cutting frame from the main frame with a detachable connection, the patent distributes the weight and load more evenly. The cutting frame with cutting blade can be positioned precisely while the main frame remains stable and horizontal, reducing excessive load on the rear part and making the machine easier for workers to move.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
