Solution Overview

Problem

The inefficiency in changing oil for transmission boxes due to the need for various connectors and tools, which are inconvenient to manage, leading to low efficiency in motor repair operations.

Innovation Solution

A fluid pumping device with a storage structure that includes a ring body with removably connected storage portions for workpieces, such as connectors and tools, allowing for organized storage and positioning around the pumping mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple connectors and tools are prepared for different transmission box types, then the device can handle various transmission box types, but the complexity of managing connectors and tools increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different transmission box typesVSAvoidnumber of connectors and tools to manage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple connectors and tools into a single integrated holder assembly that attaches to the pumping device. Different connectors are stored in designated slots within the holder, merging what were previously separate items into one organized unit that can be managed as a single component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The holder is designed as a universal storage solution that can accommodate multiple types of connectors and tools simultaneously. This multi-functional holder serves as both a storage container and an organizational system, eliminating the need for separate management of individual connectors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If connectors and tools are hung on the waist or left on the floor, then they are easily accessible, but the efficiency of oil changing operations decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of connectors and toolsVSAvoidefficiency of oil changing operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is pre-equipped with multiple connectors and tools in designated positions before the oil changing operation begins. This preliminary arrangement eliminates the need to search for or retrieve tools during the operation, allowing the technician to simply select the needed connector from the pre-organized holder.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The holder acts as an intermediary between the technician and the connectors/tools. Instead of directly managing multiple separate connectors or carrying them on the waist, the technician interacts with the organized holder system, which mediates access to the various connectors in a systematic manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If various connectors are prepared for different transmission box types, then different transmission box types can be serviced, but the time required to select and attach the correct connector increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to service different transmission box typesVSAvoidtime to select and attach connector
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

All necessary connectors for different transmission box types are pre-positioned in the holder before the operation begins. The connectors are arranged in an organized manner that allows for quick identification and selection, eliminating the time-consuming process of searching through or selecting from multiple separate connectors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
