Solution Overview

Problem

In the absence of a shock-absorbing material between a packing body and a packed body, horizontal forces can cause the packed body to tilt and collide locally with the packing body's inner surface, resulting in significant shocks during transportation.

Innovation Solution

A packing body carrier with a load receiving member that can incline with respect to the horizontal plane, featuring a load receiving portion and a restricting member with elastic properties to absorb and distribute horizontal forces, preventing rotation and tilting of the packed body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If no shock-absorbing material is provided between packing body and packed body, then the packing structure is simpler and uses fewer materials, but horizontal forces cause the packed body to tilt and collide locally with the packing body's inner surface, resulting in significant shocks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepacking structure complexityVSAvoidlocal shock to packed body
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The load receiving portion is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to tilt and rotate in response to horizontal forces. This dynamic capability enables the structure to adapt to packing body movement, distributing shocks across a wider area rather than creating localized collision points, thereby reducing harmful shocks while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The load receiving portion changes its orientation parameters (tilt angle and rotation angle) in response to applied forces. By allowing these angular parameters to vary dynamically, the structure transforms fixed rigid connections into flexible adaptive connections that distribute mechanical stresses and reduce peak shock forces on the packed body

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a load receiving member with inclined load receiving portion is used to reduce local shocks, then the shock absorption capability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal shock to packed bodyVSAvoidpacking body carrier structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The load receiving member integrates multiple functions into a single component: it supports the packed body vertically, allows horizontal movement, tilts to distribute shock forces, and rotates to accommodate packing body displacement. This multi-functionality achieves effective shock reduction without requiring multiple separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

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

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution effectively reduces local shocks by dispersing horizontal forces across a wider area, preventing the packed body from tilting and rotating, thereby minimizing the impact of collisions with the packing body.

Implementation Method 1

a load receiving member that is provided at the body portion and that has a load receiving portion which receives a load of the packed body, in which in a case where the packed body has horizontally moved, the load receiving portion may be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane
