Movable Disassembling Platform for Automobile Parts
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for disassembling and assembling large automobile parts, such as hard top and soft top canopies, and front and rear bumpers, are labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly, often requiring the use of forklift trucks and multiple operators.
Innovation Solution
A movable disassembling and assembling platform with an underframe, stand, lifting platform, and pulley mechanism, featuring adjustable supporting mechanisms and a hand-operated pulley system, allows for single-person operation by providing effective support and facilitating the lifting and movement of large parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If a forklift truck is used for disassembling and assembling large automobile parts, then the lifting capability is sufficient, but the operation becomes costly and requires multiple operators
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a pulley mechanism as an intermediary device between the forklift truck and the automobile parts. The pulley system is mounted on the forklift and uses a rope to lift and position parts, allowing a single operator to control the lifting operation remotely from the forklift cabin, thus eliminating the need for multiple operators while maintaining sufficient lifting capability
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting mechanisms are designed to automatically adjust and stabilize when parts are placed on them. The first and second supporting mechanisms with their adjustable rods and locking holes provide self-adjusting support that stabilizes parts without requiring additional operators, enabling the system to serve itself during the disassembly and assembly process
2Force
If a forklift truck is used for disassembling and assembling large automobile parts, then the lifting capability is sufficient, but the operational cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pulley mechanism serves as a cost-effective intermediary that replaces expensive forklift operations with simple mechanical advantage. By using the forklift only for transportation and the pulley system for precise positioning, the patent reduces operational costs while maintaining lifting capability
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting mechanisms use simple, inexpensive components such as rods, holes for locking, and basic mechanical joints instead of expensive hydraulic or electrical systems. These straightforward mechanical elements provide sufficient support functionality at lower cost
3Ease of operation
If multiple operators are used for disassembling and assembling parts, then the handling capability is sufficient, but the labor intensity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pulley mechanism acts as an intermediary that enables one operator to perform tasks previously requiring multiple operators. The mechanical advantage provided by the pulley system allows a single person to lift and position heavy parts with reduced physical effort, thereby improving labor efficiency while maintaining adequate handling capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical effort of multiple operators with a mechanical system (pulley mechanism) that provides force multiplication. This substitution reduces labor intensity by using mechanical principles rather than human physical strength

AI summary
A moveable disassembling and assembling platform is disclosed, including an underframe, a stand, a lifting platform, and a pulley mechanism. At least two first supporting mechanisms spacing arranged in front and back are provided on both left and right sides of the lifting platform, and a second supporting mechanism is provided on a front side of the lifting platform. By using the pulley mechanism to drive the lifting platform to lift up and down, and cooperating with the first and the second supporting mechanisms to provide a solid and effective support for large automobile parts such as hard tops and soft tops, it can be operated by only one person, thereby reducing labor and improving efficiency, and meanwhile the moveable disassembling and assembling platform has a simple overall structure and low cost, which is worthy of popularization.
