Solution Overview

Problem

The existing inclination angle control instrument for screw anchor installation requires manual installation and fixation on the ground, making it cumbersome to use, and cannot be retracted for storage after use.

Innovation Solution

An inclination angle control instrument with a triangular base and side plates hinged to it, featuring transmission assemblies driven by a motor, allowing the side plates to spread and retract for easy deployment and storage, and incorporating small screw anchors for ground penetration and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the support assembly is manually installed and fixed on the ground, then the instrument achieves stability, but the operation becomes cumbersome and cannot be retracted for storage

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support assembly is transformed from a static manual installation structure to a dynamic automated deployment structure. The driving device drives the transmission assemblies to operate, causing the side plates to automatically spread and contact the ground, achieving both ease of operation and stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical installation process is replaced with an automated driving device and transmission assembly system. The driving device provides power to the transmission assemblies, which automatically control the side plates to spread and retract, eliminating manual installation while maintaining stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If the side plates are hinged to the triangular base with transmission assemblies, then the instrument can be easily deployed and retracted, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is segmented into a triangular base and three separate side plates hinged to the base. Each side plate can be independently controlled by transmission assemblies, allowing modular deployment and retraction while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission assemblies serve multiple functions: they control the side plates to spread for stability during operation, and enable retraction for compact storage. The driving device provides universal power to all transmission assemblies, simplifying the control system.

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