Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Charging stations for mowing robots occupy excessive space and have high mounting complexity due to separate deployment of charging and positioning components.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a control chip with both charging and differential positioning apparatus within a single unit, allowing for simultaneous charging and accurate positioning without the need for separate control chips, and optimizing component placement to minimize interference and space usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate positioning base station and charging apparatus are deployed, then positioning function and charging function are provided, but space occupied increases and mounting difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the positioning base station and charging apparatus into a single integrated charging station. The control chip receives both positioning data from the differential positioning apparatus and charging data from the satellite positioning apparatus, then transmits this information to the intelligent robot. This merging eliminates the need for separate positioning base stations and charging devices, reducing the space occupied while maintaining both positioning and charging functions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate positioning base station and charging apparatus are deployed, then positioning function and charging function are provided, but mounting difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the positioning base station and charging apparatus into a single charging station with a unified control chip. The control chip manages both the differential positioning apparatus and the charging apparatus, eliminating the need for separate mounting of multiple independent devices. This integration significantly reduces mounting difficulty while providing both positioning and charging functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The charging station is designed as a multi-functional device that simultaneously provides positioning base station functions and charging apparatus functions through a single integrated system. The control chip handles both positioning data processing and charging control, making the device universal and eliminating the need for separate mounting of specialized positioning and charging equipment.
3Reliability
If multiple control chips are provided for charging and positioning, then independent control is achieved, but space occupied by chips increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a single multi-functional control chip that handles both charging control and positioning data processing. The control chip receives positioning information from the satellite positioning apparatus and differential positioning apparatus, then transmits this data to the intelligent robot. It also controls the charging apparatus to charge the robot. This universal control chip eliminates the need for multiple separate control chips, reducing the space occupied by chips while maintaining independent control capabilities for both functions.
