Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) do not account for the challenge of taking off and landing on working machines positioned on sloped ground, and they lack the capability to supply fluids to the UAVs.

Innovation Solution

A moving device with a leveling table that adjusts its inclination to accommodate the slope, allowing UAVs to take off and land safely, and an unmanned aerial device with a power reception device outside and a fluid device inside the engagement portion, optimizing space efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed takeoff and landing port is provided on a working machine, then the structure is simple, but the UAV cannot take off or land when the working machine is on sloped ground

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to sloped groundVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The takeoff and landing port is equipped with a leveling table that can dynamically adjust its inclination angle to match the slope of the working machine. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the port to adapt to various ground conditions, enabling UAV takeoff and landing operations on sloped terrain while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Volume of moving object

If power reception device and fluid device are integrated inside the engagement portion, then space efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the engagement mechanism increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUAV volumeVSAvoidengagement mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power reception device and fluid device are merged and integrated within the engagement portion of the UAV. This consolidation allows both power supply and fluid supply functions to be housed in a compact space, reducing the overall volume of the UAV while maintaining the necessary functional capabilities through coordinated design of the engagement mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
