Work Device Holding Mechanism for Stable Heavy-Load Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing work devices for flight vehicles, such as drones, face instability during transportation of heavy objects, leading to detachment and inefficiency in reaching the destination and starting work.
Innovation Solution
A work device with a holding mechanism to suspend and support the object, and posture change mechanisms to stabilize the object's posture, allowing clear division of roles between load-bearing and posture-stabilizing functions, enhancing stability and enabling efficient transportation and work performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the unfastening unit cuts the wire rope to unfasten the luggage, then the weight of the drone is reduced and safe flight is maintained, but the object cannot be transported to the destination and work cannot start
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the support function into two separate mechanisms: a holding mechanism for load-bearing and a posture change mechanism for stabilization. This segmentation allows each mechanism to be optimized for its specific function, enabling the object to remain securely attached during transport while maintaining flight safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The posture change mechanism acts as an intermediary between the holding mechanism and the object. It provides additional stabilization by adjusting the posture of the object, thereby enhancing overall stability without requiring the holding mechanism to bear excessive load alone.
2Reliability
If the holding mechanism and posture change mechanism work together with clear division of roles, then stable operation is achieved even if the object is heavy, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the support system into distinct holding and posture change mechanisms with clear functional division. The holding mechanism handles load-bearing while the posture change mechanism handles stabilization, allowing each to be designed with appropriate complexity for its specific function rather than attempting to perform all functions with a single complex system.
Solution Approach 2:
Both mechanisms are designed to work together synergistically, where the holding mechanism provides foundational support and the posture change mechanism adds stabilization capability. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle heavy objects stably while distributing the complexity across two specialized subsystems rather than one overloaded system.

AI summary
A work device is capable of suspending an object and includes a holding mechanism configured to hold the object such that the object is suspended, at least one posture change mechanism configured to change a posture of the object, and a controller configured or programmed to control operation of at least the at least one posture change mechanism.
