Robot Base Stand With Adjustable Support Table
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot systems require design changes and increased workload when switching between different types of robots, due to varying movable ranges, leading to higher costs and complexity in system setup and relocation.
Innovation Solution
A robot base stand with a relative distance adjusting mechanism between a first support table for mounting robots and a second support table for placing objects, allowing for adaptable positioning based on the type of robot, reducing the need for design changes and simplifying system setup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the support table is designed specifically for each robot type to optimize function, then the robot performance is improved, but the device complexity and design workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support table is divided into a fixed portion and a movable portion that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation allows the table to adapt to different robot types by changing the position of the movable portion, eliminating the need for complete redesign for each robot model.
Solution Approach 2:
The support table incorporates a movable portion that can be positioned at different locations along the longitudinal direction. This dynamic adjustability enables the same support table structure to accommodate various robot types with different working ranges, transforming a static design into an adaptable one.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the support table is customized for each robot type, then the system optimization is improved, but the ease of manufacture and setup deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The support table is designed as a universal structure that can serve multiple robot types through the adjustable movable portion. This multi-functional design allows a single support table model to replace multiple customized designs, simplifying manufacturing and setup processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The position of the movable portion along the longitudinal direction can be changed to adapt to different robot types. By adjusting this parameter rather than redesigning the entire structure, the system achieves robot-type-specific optimization while maintaining ease of manufacture and setup.
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed support table design is used for all robot types, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the adaptability to different robot working ranges deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support table incorporates a movable portion that can be repositioned along the longitudinal direction to match different robot working ranges. This dynamic feature maintains manufacturing simplicity while achieving adaptability across various robot types.
Solution Approach 2:
By segmenting the support table into fixed and movable portions, the design maintains the simplicity of a standardized fixed structure while adding adaptability through the adjustable movable section, accommodating different robot working ranges.
