Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the automatic packing and bagging intelligent trash can system is designed as a whole with combined components, then the system structure is integrated and complete, but the volume is large, space occupation rate is high, and transportation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The trash can system is divided into separate modular components: storage bucket, lid assembly, packing mechanism, and bagging mechanism. Each component can be independently manufactured, transported, and assembled, reducing transportation volume while maintaining system integration through standardized connection interfaces.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the automatic packing and bagging intelligent trash can system is designed as a whole, then the system is complete and functional, but production and assembly become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into independent modules that can be manufactured separately using standardized processes. The lid assembly, storage bucket, packing mechanism, and bagging mechanism are separate units that simplify production and assembly operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The lid assembly is designed as a universal component that can be matched with different storage bucket models through standardized connection structures. This multi-functional design allows the same lid assembly to work with various bucket types, simplifying production and assembly across different product variants.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the automatic packing and bagging intelligent trash can system is designed as a whole, then the system is integrated, but commonality and compatibility are poor and standardized configuration is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The lid assembly incorporates universal connection structures that can interface with multiple storage bucket models. Standardized mounting interfaces and dimensional tolerances enable the same lid assembly to be compatible with different bucket types, enhancing commonality and facilitating standardized configuration across product lines.
4Volume of moving object
If the components are designed to be disassembled and transported separately, then transportation efficiency improves and costs reduce, but the assembly structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into discrete modular components with clearly defined separation points. Each component maintains structural integrity independently while featuring standardized connection interfaces that simplify the assembly process despite the increased number of parts.
Solution Approach 2:
Related sub-components are grouped into functional assemblies (e.g., lid assembly containing multiple elements, packing mechanism as a separate unit). This merging reduces the number of individual connection points required while maintaining modularity and transportation efficiency.

AI summary
This invention provides a modular storage robot device, including a storage bucket body, the top of which is detachably connected to a storage flip cover assembly. storage flip cover assembly includes a support cover, the middle of which is provided with a storage bag mounting mechanism. The bottom of the storage bag mounting mechanism is provided a packaging device, and the side of the packaging device is provided with a negative pressure device. This is used to solve the current market automatic packaging trash can are all design, the bucket body, packaging mechanism, bag loading mechanism and flip cover are assembled as a whole, difficult to disassemble, large transportation volume, high transportation cost at the same time, since the automatic packaging system is not modular design, its commonality and compatibility are poor.
