Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing technologies for loading and arranging luggage inside mobility devices for delivery services are inefficient, requiring manual loading and arrangement, which lacks convenience and automation.
Innovation Solution
A luggage loading device for mobility that includes a loading space with a first moving module on its bottom surface for moving luggage, a loading panel that exposes the first moving module for loading luggage, and a second moving module that vertically aligns the loaded luggage panels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual loading and arrangement of luggage is performed, then the structure remains simple, but the convenience and automation are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The loading space bottom is divided into multiple modular first moving modules, each capable of independent operation. These modules are segmented and distributed across the bottom surface, allowing localized automated movement without requiring a completely complex centralized system. Each module handles a specific region, reducing overall system complexity while achieving automation.
Solution Approach 2:
A loading panel is introduced as an intermediary component between the first moving modules and the luggage. The panel exposes the moving modules during loading and covers them when not in use, mediating the interaction between the automated mechanism and the external environment. This intermediary structure simplifies the overall system by providing a unified interface while hiding the complexity of the moving modules.
2Productivity
If multiple moving modules are installed for automated luggage handling, then the loading efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple first moving modules are merged into a single integrated loading panel structure. The panel combines several moving modules that work together to handle luggage in different regions simultaneously, achieving high productivity while maintaining a unified structural appearance. The merging of functions into a single panel reduces the perceived complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The second moving module introduces vertical movement capability, adding a third dimension to the luggage handling system. Instead of only horizontal movement on the bottom surface, the system now includes vertical lifting through the loading panel, dramatically increasing loading efficiency without proportionally increasing the number of modules on the bottom surface.
3Ease of operation
If the loading panel exposes the first moving module for loading, then the loading convenience improves, but the support ball may separate from the seating groove
Solution Approach 1:
The ball cover acts as an intermediary component between the support ball and the external environment. It partially covers the support ball while allowing the loading panel to expose the first moving module for loading operations. This intermediary structure maintains the support ball within the seating groove during normal operation while still enabling convenient loading access.
Solution Approach 2:
The ball cover is designed as a thin-walled structure that can be easily opened or removed when loading is required, yet provides sufficient coverage to retain the support ball during operation. This thin film-like structure balances the conflicting requirements of accessibility and retention without adding significant complexity.
