Balance adjustment method for lifting platform
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lifting platforms lack an automatic inclination adjustment function, leading to imbalanced surfaces that can cause discomfort and safety issues when the inclination becomes too large, as users or objects may fall off.
Innovation Solution
A balance adjustment method for lifting platforms that includes a controller, inclination sensors, and lifting mechanisms, which detect and adjust the platform's inclination by controlling the mechanisms to ascend or descend based on set thresholds, ensuring automatic and accurate leveling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic inclination adjustment function is added to lifting platform, then convenience and safety are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting platform automatically detects its own inclination state through the inclination sensor and adjusts its balance without user intervention. The controller receives inclination data, compares it with preset thresholds, and automatically controls the lifting mechanisms to correct imbalance, making the system self-regulating and eliminating manual adjustment requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a closed-loop feedback control mechanism where the inclination sensor continuously monitors platform tilt, sends data to the controller, and the controller adjusts lifting mechanisms based on whether the inclination exceeds thresholds. This feedback loop enables automatic balance correction while preventing excessive adjustment through threshold-based control.
2Measurement precision
If inclination detection and automatic adjustment is implemented, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical balance adjustment with an automated electromechanical system. The inclination sensor (using accelerometer or angle sensor technology) electronically detects platform tilt, and the controller electronically controls the lifting mechanisms, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated sensing and control systems that provide higher precision.
3Speed
If lifting mechanisms operate continuously to adjust balance, then adjustment speed is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting mechanisms operate intermittently rather than continuously, activating only when the inclination sensor detects that the platform tilt exceeds the preset threshold. The controller periodically checks inclination status and triggers adjustment only when needed, eliminating unnecessary continuous operation and reducing energy consumption while maintaining rapid response capability when balance correction is required.

AI summary
A balance adjustment method for a lifting platform; the lifting platform comprises a controller, an inclination sensor, and at least two sets of lifting mechanisms; the two sets of lifting mechanisms are disposed on two opposite sides of the lifting platform respectively, and the inclination sensor and the lifting mechanisms are all connected to the controller by means of signals. The method comprises the following steps: S1, the controller detecting whether an inclination adjustment signal is received; if no inclination adjustment signal is detected, then continuing to carry out detection; and if an inclination adjustment signal is detected, then skipping to the next step; S2, the controller detecting whether the lifting mechanisms are in a static state; if detected that the lifting mechanisms are in a working state, then returning to step S1 and continuing to carry out detection; and if detected that the lifting mechanisms are in the static state, then skipping to the next step; S3, the inclination sensor detecting the inclination of the lifting platform and transferring the detected inclination to the controller, and the controller comparing the detected inclination to a set inclination threshold; if the detected inclination exceeds the set threshold A1, then skipping to the next step; and if the detected inclination is less than or equal to the set threshold A1, then skipping to step S1 and continuing to carry out detection; S4, the controller controlling a lifting mechanism on a first side to ascend or descend while the inclination sensor continues to carry out detection; if the detected inclination is less than the inclination detected in step S3, then skipping to the next step; and if the detected inclination is greater than or equal to the inclination detected in step S3, then controlling the lifting mechanism on the first side to move, the direction of movement being opposite to that previously, and then skipping to the next step; and S5, the inclination sensor continuing to detect inclination, and when the detected inclination is less than or equal to the set threshold A1, controlling all the lifting mechanisms to stop working. It is determined whether a platform is inclined by means of detecting inclination, and then balance adjustment is performed by means of adjusting lifting mechanisms; by employing the described adjustment method, the inclination of a lifting platform may be automatically adjusted.
