Integrated Loading Dock With Charging for New Energy Logistics Vehicles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current logistics systems for new energy vehicles require separate charging and loading/unloading areas, leading to prolonged operational times as vehicles need to spend 6 hours charging and then loading/unloading, inefficiently utilizing time and space.
Innovation Solution
An integrated loading and unloading platform with a built-in charging apparatus that allows simultaneous charging and loading/unloading, featuring a charging pile with adjustable interfaces, positioning mechanisms, and a photographing device for precise alignment, enabling the vehicle to charge and load/unload on the same platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If charging and loading/unloading are performed in separate areas, then safety and operational clarity are improved, but total operating time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the charging area and loading/unloading area into a single integrated platform. The charging pile is positioned within the loading/unloading platform, allowing new energy logistics vehicles to charge and load/unload goods simultaneously in the same space, thereby reducing total operating time while maintaining safety through integrated design
2Device complexity
If charging and loading/unloading are performed sequentially in separate areas, then space allocation is simplified, but vehicle utilization efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The loading/unloading platform is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a loading/unloading area and a charging area. The platform can accommodate vehicles for goods operations while simultaneously providing charging services through the integrated charging pile, enabling one space to fulfill multiple functions and improving vehicle utilization efficiency
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed charging pile in a separate charging area is used, then charging infrastructure is simple, but time and space resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The charging pile is merged with the loading/unloading platform, creating an integrated charging and logistics operation system. This allows vehicles to perform loading/unloading and charging concurrently in the same location, eliminating the need to move between separate areas and reducing waiting time while maintaining infrastructure simplicity
