Medical Device Carrying Frame with Segmented Pipe Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing carrying devices for medical equipment, such as critical care units, are heavy and difficult to transport safely, especially during emergency operations, and lack adaptability and protection for the devices and their connections.
Innovation Solution
A carrying device with a frame made from lightweight materials like aluminum or magnesium, featuring a protective upper receiving area for the medical device, accessible from the front and side, and a lower area for a gas cylinder, along with attachment points for straps and a wall mount for secure transport and quick access, ensuring the medical device's stability and accessibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the medical device is made heavy to ensure stability and protection during transport, then reliability is improved, but portability and ease of transport deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying device is divided into a frame structure with distinct upper and lower receiving areas, allowing the medical device to be segmented and positioned in specific zones for optimal protection and accessibility
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is constructed from pipe sections that combine structural strength with reduced weight, creating a composite structure that provides reliability without excessive weight
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the frame is designed to fully enclose the medical device for maximum protection, then protection against impact loads is improved, but accessibility to connection panels and controls deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The frame provides full enclosure for protection, but specific local areas are designed with openings or accessible positions that allow connection panels and controls to be reached from the front and sides without compromising overall structural protection
Solution Approach 2:
The medical device is positioned within the frame at specific coordinates that allow access from multiple dimensions (front, sides), transforming a potentially one-dimensional access problem into a multi-dimensional solution
3Ease of operation
If the carrying device is designed for one-person portability with straps and padding, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, defines receiving areas, offers attachment points for straps, and enables wall mounting, reducing the need for separate components and simplifying the overall system
4Reliability
If the medical device is secured rigidly in the frame for stable transport, then reliability is improved, but adaptability to different application scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying device incorporates reversible locking elements that can switch between locked and unlocked states, allowing the medical device to be securely fixed during transport and easily accessible during operation, providing dynamic adaptability to different scenarios
