Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual pushing is used, then the wagon structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical pushing system with an electric motor-driven system. The motor (14) is installed in the rear wheel, and through the controller (18) and control end (18), users can remotely control the wagon's movement, eliminating the need for manual pushing and significantly improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The wagon is equipped with an electromagnetic safety lock (18-4) that automatically locks when not in use, and the control system enables the wagon to move autonomously when powered, reducing the need for continuous manual intervention and enhancing operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Volume of moving object

If the wagon is made foldable, then the volume for storage is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevolume for storageVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The wagon frame is divided into fixed units and movable units that can be independently folded. The movable units (16-1, 16-2) with lifting rods (16-1, 16-2) and connecting rods (17-1, 17-2) can be segmented and folded alongside the fixed unit, enabling compact storage while maintaining structural integrity during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The frame incorporates movable connections with lifting rods and connecting rods that allow the structure to dynamically transition between an extended operational state and a folded storage state. The telescopic rod (3) also provides adjustable height, adding dynamic adaptability to the structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple functions are added, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control end (18) integrates multiple functions including electromagnetic safety lock (18-4), speed control key (18-1), direction key (18-3), battery indicator light (18-2), and power button (18-1). The USB interface (15) provides charging functionality, and the LED light (15) offers illumination, allowing a single control unit to manage diverse operations and enhance adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple functional components are merged into the control end (18) and controller (18) system. The electromagnetic safety lock, speed control, direction control, and power management are combined in one integrated control unit, reducing the need for separate controls and simplifying the overall system while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
