Solution Overview

Problem

Existing energy storage power supplies are labor-intensive to carry due to the need for arm strength, leading to discomfort and inconvenience, especially for prolonged outdoor use.

Innovation Solution

An energy storage power supply with a handle and detachable strap system, allowing users to carry the device securely over the shoulder, distributing the weight and reducing muscle strain through adjustable buckles and a foldable lampshade for improved stability and comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the energy storage power supply is carried using only a handle, then the structure is simple, but the user experiences arm muscle ache and fatigue during prolonged use

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCarrying convenienceVSAvoidDuration of carrying
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The carrying function is segmented between two independent components: a handle for hand carrying and a strap for shoulder carrying. This allows the user to switch between carrying methods based on duration needs, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and prolonged usability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The carrying method transitions from one-dimensional (handle-only, hand-based) to two-dimensional (handle plus strap, enabling shoulder-based carrying). This dimensional expansion allows weight distribution across the shoulder rather than concentrated arm muscles, enabling prolonged carrying without fatigue.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If a strap is added to enable shoulder carrying, then the carrying comfort is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCarrying comfortVSAvoidStructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The strap is detachably connected to the handle through hanging parts, merging the strap and handle into a coordinated carrying system. This integration allows the strap to function effectively while maintaining the simplicity of the original handle structure, balancing comfort improvement with structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The strap is designed as detachable rather than permanent, allowing dynamic configuration. Users can attach or detach the strap based on carrying needs, enabling the device to adapt between simple (handle-only) and enhanced (strap-plus-handle) modes, thus managing complexity flexibly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the strap is detachably connected to the handle, then the versatility is improved, but the connection reliability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCarrying mode flexibilityVSAvoidConnection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Hanging parts are pre-installed on the handle during manufacturing, ready for strap attachment. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the strap is attached, the connection is immediately reliable without requiring additional assembly steps or complex fastening mechanisms, thus maintaining both versatility and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
