Lifting working-platform used on desktop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lifting working-platforms on desktops lack protection structures, leading to potential hand injuries during lifting, inconvenient power module installation, and cluttered spaces due to scattered objects.
Innovation Solution
A lifting working-platform with a side plate around the upper platform for protection, designated positions for power modules, and a hanging bucket to organize items, reducing the risk of injury and improving aesthetics and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If no protection structure is added around the upper platform, then the device complexity remains low, but hands may be injured during lifting
Solution Approach 1:
The protection structure is divided into multiple side plates (first side plate, second side plate, third side plate, fourth side plate) that can be independently arranged around the upper platform. Each side plate is a separate component that can be individually installed and removed, allowing the protection function to be implemented without requiring a complex integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Side plates are introduced as intermediary protective elements between the user's hands and the moving upper platform. These side plates act as a barrier that prevents direct contact between hands and the platform during lifting operations, thereby protecting against injury while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If no designated position is provided for power modules, then the device complexity remains low, but plug and socket mating becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
Designated positions for power modules (sockets) are pre-established on the side plates before actual use. The side plates include specifically designed mounting areas and communication interfaces that are prepared in advance, allowing power modules to be quickly and conveniently installed without requiring complex routing or ad-hoc configurations.
3Shape
If no protection structure is added around the upper platform, then the device complexity remains low, but the appearance quality and sale price are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The side plates serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide physical protection during lifting operations, establish designated positions for power module installation, and contribute to the overall aesthetic appearance of the lifting working platform. This multi-functionality allows a single structural element to address safety, functionality, and appearance requirements without proportionally increasing complexity.
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 side plate prevents hand injuries, facilitates power module installation, and organizes items, enhancing the platform's safety, usability, and appearance while reducing clutter and improving sale price.
Implementation Method 1
an X-shaped lifting arm or called a scissor-type lifting arm connecting the upper and lower platforms, and the top end of the X-shaped lifting arm is slidably fitted on the bottom of the upper platform and the bottom end of the X-shaped lifting arm is slidably fitted on the top of the base so as to make the upper platform ascend when a gas spring spreads

AI summary
A lifting working-platform used on a desktop, has an upper platform, and the side surfaces of upper platform are provided with side plates. The lifting working-platform prevents potential injury of hands if accidently inserting inside during the lifting process of the upper platform and greatly facilitates the installation of a power socket, and avoids outside collision to the plug; and the appearance is appealing; articles such as staplers, erasers and pens can be received in the hanging bucket, thereby ensuring convenience in fetching these articles and reducing occupied space of the lifting working-platform and the desktop, such that the lifting working-platform and the desktop become clean and orderly.
