Ominidirectional mobile driving carriage with a working module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing omnidirectional mobile driving platforms lack the capability for expanded autonomous applications, particularly in complex environments like parking garages and underground garages, where they need to navigate and operate various tasks independently without human intervention.
Innovation Solution
An omnidirectional mobile driving platform equipped with a control device that autonomously navigates using Mecanum wheels and a coupling device to integrate separate working devices, allowing the platform to control the working device's movements and functions, eliminating the need for the working device to have its own navigation intelligence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the omnidirectional mobile driving platform integrates separate working devices with autonomous navigation capabilities, then the application scope and versatility are improved, but the device complexity and control system complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal coupling device with standardized interfaces that can attach different working devices (cleaning devices, lifting devices, etc.) to the omnidirectional mobile driving platform. This allows a single platform to perform multiple functions through device attachment rather than integrating all functions into the platform itself, thereby expanding application scope while controlling complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling device acts as an intermediary between the omnidirectional mobile driving platform and separate working devices. It provides a standardized mechanical and control interface that simplifies the integration process, allowing working devices to be coupled and controlled without requiring complex custom integration for each device type.
2Ease of operation
If the working device has its own navigation intelligence, then it can operate independently, but the overall system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the navigation intelligence into the omnidirectional mobile driving platform's control device rather than requiring each working device to have its own navigation system. The control device receives work commands from the working device and autonomously navigates the platform to execute these commands, eliminating the need for redundant navigation systems in each working device.
Solution Approach 2:
The omnidirectional mobile driving platform provides self-service navigation capabilities, autonomously determining its position, planning paths, and executing movement to fulfill work commands received from coupled working devices. This centralized autonomous navigation service eliminates the need for each working device to independently navigate.
