Solution Overview

Problem

Existing garden tools lack versatility and functionality, with most being single-function and non-detachable, limiting their operational capabilities and user convenience.

Innovation Solution

A backpack tool apparatus featuring a detachable design with multiple tools, such as blowers and leaf suction machines, connected via guide rails and grooves, allowing for interchangeable functions and adjustable tool placement for improved efficiency and comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing garden tools are designed as single-function units, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but the adaptability and versatility are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The backpack assembly is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple different tools through standardized connection interfaces. The battery pack and control unit serve multiple functions across different tool configurations, enabling the system to perform blowing, suction, cutting, and other operations with a single base unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is divided into modular components: a fixed backpack assembly containing the battery pack and control unit, and detachable tool modules that can be independently attached or removed. This segmentation allows each tool to be optimized for its specific function while sharing common power and control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If tools are made detachable with multiple connection options, then the adaptability and versatility are improved, but the device complexity and ease of operation are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinterchangeabilityVSAvoidconnection convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

A universal connection interface is provided that works across all tool types. The guide rail and guide groove configuration creates a standardized mounting system that simplifies the attachment process while maintaining versatility across different tool configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple connection functions are merged into a single attachment action. The guide rail provides both positioning and mechanical connection, while the locking mechanism integrates safety latching and electrical connection in one unified interface, reducing the steps required to securely attach a tool.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If multiple tools are simultaneously connected to the backpack assembly, then the productivity and working efficiency are improved, but the device complexity and weight are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworking efficiencyVSAvoidbackpack weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static single-tool operation to dynamic multi-tool configuration. Users can attach multiple tools simultaneously and switch between them based on task requirements, allowing the backpack assembly to adapt its functional configuration to optimize productivity for different work scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A single battery pack and control unit provide power and control for multiple different tools, eliminating the need for separate power systems for each tool. This universal power architecture enables multi-tool operation without proportionally increasing the weight of the backpack assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
