Solution Overview

Problem

Manual object lifting requires high labor intensity, is dangerous, and inefficient, with existing lifters occupying large space and requiring auxiliary ascent devices for high elevations, limiting their application scope.

Innovation Solution

A lifter with a support base, elevating stand assembly, elevating-drive mechanism, turning-drive mechanism, and bracket mechanism, featuring foldable and retractable design, adjustable height, and inclinable bracket for adaptable material positioning, reducing labor and space usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the bracket portion and support portion are fixed perpendicular to each other, then the structure is simple and stable, but the lifter occupies large space when idle and has limited application scope

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scopeVSAvoidspace occupied
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The support base is designed to be rotatable relative to the carrier bracket, transforming the fixed perpendicular structure into a dynamic adjustable configuration. This allows the support base to rotate to different angles, enabling the lifter to adapt to different working conditions and reduce the space occupied when idle, thereby improving both adaptability and space efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If manual lifting is used, then no additional equipment is needed, but labor intensity is high and working efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworking efficiencyVSAvoidlabor intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical lifting with a motor-driven elevating mechanism. The motor drives the carrier bracket to move vertically along the guide rail, automatically completing the lifting operation. This substitution of manual labor with automated mechanical systems significantly improves working efficiency and reduces labor intensity

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If fixed height lifter is used, then the structure is simple, but the application scope is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scopeVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates an adjustable height mechanism where the carrier bracket can move vertically along the guide rail under motor drive. This dynamic height adjustment capability allows the lifter to adapt to different lifting heights and application scenarios, expanding the application scope while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
