Motorized Cabin Tray and Door Linkage for Easier Loading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile objects require manual unloading and loading of items, which can lead to user discomfort, potential item dropping, and difficulty for users with weak joints due to manual interaction with doors and trays.
Innovation Solution
A cabin structure with a motor-driven power provision system that synchronizes the operation of opening/closing doors and loading/unloading trays, using a motor, door driving part, power conversion part, and tray driving part to facilitate automated item handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual unloading and loading operations are used, then the structure remains simple, but user convenience deteriorates and item dropping risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated self-service operation where the motor-driven power provision part automatically performs door opening/closing and tray loading/unloading operations without requiring manual user intervention, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through integrated automation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the door driving mechanism and tray driving mechanism into a single integrated power provision part that receives power from one motor, merging multiple functions into one unified structure that improves operational convenience without proportionally increasing overall system complexity
2Illumination intensity
If the user bends down to check the accommodation space, then visibility is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to physical strain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical action of bending down with an automated power-driven system that moves the tray and opens the door, substituting physical user effort with motorized actuation to improve ease of operation while maintaining visibility through proper positioning
3Productivity
If simultaneous door and tray operations are implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the door driving part and tray driving part into a single integrated power provision part that receives power from one motor through a unified power transmission path, enabling simultaneous operations while controlling device complexity through functional integration
Solution Approach 2:
The single motor and power provision part serve multiple functions by simultaneously controlling both door opening/closing and tray loading/unloading operations, achieving multi-functionality that improves productivity without requiring separate independent systems for each function
