Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional structural facilities along traffic routes, such as platforms, are inflexible and require adaptability to meet modern transport requirements, often resulting in gaps between vehicles and facilities due to changes in vehicle types or traffic routes, compromising safety and comfort.
Innovation Solution
A prefabricated platform system comprising functional bodies, foundation bodies, and positioning devices that allow for millimeter-accurate horizontal and vertical displacement using mechanisms like hydraulic presses and threaded spindles, enabling quick and precise repositioning without permanent installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional structural facilities are made unchangeable in position, then structural stability is ensured, but adaptability to changing transport requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the platform system movable and adjustable rather than fixed. The positioning device with hydraulic presses and threaded spindles enables the functional body to be dynamically repositioned horizontally and vertically, allowing the structure to adapt to changing transport requirements while maintaining stability during operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the platform system into distinct components: functional body, foundation body, and positioning device. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each component, enabling the platform to be repositioned without affecting the overall structural integrity or requiring complete reconstruction
2Adaptability or versatility
If prefabricated platforms are lifted with cranes for height adjustment, then height adaptability is achieved, but track closure is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a positioning device as an intermediary mechanism between the functional body and foundation body. This positioning device with integrated lifting and displacement capabilities allows platform adjustment without requiring external cranes, thereby avoiding track closure while achieving the same height adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the lifting function and horizontal displacement function into a single integrated positioning device. The hydraulic press provides vertical adjustment while threaded spindles provide horizontal adjustment, combining multiple adjustment functions in one system that operates without track closure
3Adaptability or versatility
If platforms are raised by placing on top or filling with foam, then height adjustment is achieved, but subsequent reconstruction is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic, reversible adjustment mechanisms (hydraulic presses and threaded spindles) that allow the platform to be raised and lowered multiple times without permanent modification. This eliminates the need for reconstruction after initial installation, as the positioning device can be readjusted as needed
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning device is designed to be self-contained and self-adjusting, with the hydraulic press and threaded spindle mechanisms capable of performing height adjustment without external intervention or subsequent reconstruction work. The system serves its own adjustment needs through integrated mechanisms
4Adaptability or versatility
If permanent displacement mechanisms are installed for lateral displacement, then horizontal positionability is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a positioning device as a temporary intermediary mechanism rather than a permanent integrated component. The hydraulic press and threaded spindles serve as portable positioning tools that can be installed, used for adjustment, and removed, avoiding the complexity of permanent displacement mechanisms while achieving the same horizontal positionability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves horizontal displacement by changing the position parameters of the functional body relative to the foundation body using adjustable mechanisms. The threaded spindles provide precise parameter control for horizontal positioning without requiring complex permanent structural modifications
