Parking Platform Insulation and Solar Recharging

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing facilities for parking vehicles lack adaptation to electrical vehicles, particularly in ensuring platform insulation and efficient battery recharging, which is crucial for safety and energy management.

Innovation Solution

The facility employs at least two rings per platform, arranged oppositely and parallel, with independent guiding tracks and driving mechanisms to maintain platform isolation and horizontal positioning, along with solar-powered electrical recharging systems and battery exchange capabilities, allowing for simultaneous parking and charging of electrical vehicles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional parking facilities are used, then vehicle storage is provided, but they lack adaptation for electrical vehicle battery recharging and platform insulation

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The facility is divided into multiple independent platforms that can operate autonomously. Each platform has its own driving mechanism and can be positioned independently, allowing selective recharging operations without affecting other platforms. This segmentation enables tailored adaptation for electrical vehicles while maintaining safety isolation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The parking facility is designed to perform multiple functions: vehicle storage, battery recharging, and energy management. The same platform structure serves both parking and recharging purposes, with integrated electrical connections that activate when vehicles are parked, eliminating the need for separate charging infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Use of energy by moving object

If traditional charging infrastructure is added, then battery recharging is enabled, but additional space and infrastructure complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The recharging function is merged with the parking platform itself. Electrical connection means are integrated into the platform structure, so that parking and recharging occur simultaneously in the same location without requiring separate charging stations or additional infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides automatic recharging when vehicles are parked on the platforms. The electrical connection means automatically engage with the vehicle batteries, and the energy accumulator means supply power without requiring external charging infrastructure or manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Area of stationary object

If platforms are positioned closely together, then space occupancy is minimized, but insulation and isolation between platforms become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Each platform is equipped with its own driving mechanism and electrical connection means, allowing localized control and insulation. The independent positioning capability enables maintaining optimal insulation distances between platforms while maximizing space utilization through efficient vertical stacking.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple platforms operate independently, then flexibility and adaptability improve, but synchronization and coordination become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platforms are designed with independent driving mechanisms that can operate dynamically based on demand. Each platform can be positioned and operated independently, allowing flexible adaptation to varying recharging needs while the system coordinates operations through centralized control that activates only the necessary platforms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
