Solution Overview

Problem

Vacuum sweeping machines with advanced circuit modules and power supply architectures become cumbersome, inflexible, and consume high power, limiting their functionality and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A robotic system with a mobile working machine and a docking station, featuring a detachable electronic device and a transferring device with cantilever arms, allows for the electronic device to be selectively detached and reattached, enabling the mobile working machine to operate independently without the device when not needed, and facilitating efficient charging and maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If circuit modules and power supply architecture are added to enhance functionality, then performance is improved, but device complexity and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the vacuum sweeping system into two independent parts: a mobile working machine and a detachable electronic device. The electronic device containing circuit modules and power supply architecture can be detached when not needed, allowing the mobile working machine to operate independently with reduced complexity and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic configuration where the electronic device can be attached or detached from the mobile working machine based on operational needs. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize between high functionality (when electronic device is attached) and low complexity (when mobile working machine operates alone).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If circuit modules and power supply architecture are added to enhance functionality, then performance is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power-consuming electronic device from the mobile working machine, allowing selective operation. When the electronic device is detached, the mobile working machine operates with lower power consumption, while high functionality is available when the electronic device is attached and needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts power consumption by allowing attachment and detachment of the electronic device. This enables the mobile working machine to operate in low-power mode when electronic functions are not required, while maintaining access to high-power functionality when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic device is permanently integrated, then functionality is maintained, but mobility and flexibility are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidmobility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the system into separable components with a detachable connection interface. The mobile working machine maintains full mobility when operating alone, while the electronic device can be attached when enhanced functionality is required, providing operational flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic attachment system where the electronic device can be connected or disconnected based on operational requirements. This allows the mobile working machine to transition between mobile-only mode and enhanced functionality mode, optimizing both mobility and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
