Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a single-layer storage structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the quantity of materials that can be transported is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single-layer storage structure to a multi-layer storage shelf with plates distributed at different heights. This vertical dimensionality change allows the robot to transport multiple materials simultaneously across different levels, significantly increasing the quantity of materials without proportionally increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The storage shelf is divided into multiple independent plates at different heights, each capable of holding separate materials. This segmentation allows the robot to handle multiple materials in parallel, improving transport capacity while maintaining modular simplicity
2Adaptability or versatility
If the handling device operates at fixed height, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different storage positions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The handling device is equipped with a lift component that enables dynamic height adjustment. The lift component can drive the handling device to lift relative to the storage shelf, allowing the handling assembly to reach plates at different heights. This dynamic capability provides adaptability to various storage positions without requiring multiple fixed-height handling devices
3Stability of the object's composition
If the driving wheel is fixed to the hinge bracket, then the structure is simplified, but the stability during movement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The driving wheel is made rotatable relative to the hinge bracket rather than being fixed. This dynamic configuration allows the driving wheel to adapt to uneven surfaces and movement variations, improving stability during robot operation. The rotation capability enables the wheel to self-adjust to terrain variations without requiring complex suspension systems
