Self-moving Device with Modular Working Heads for Multi-task Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power tools have unvaried structures and functions, leading to high working costs and low efficiency, as each tool can only perform one type of work, necessitating a device that can adapt to multiple tasks.
Innovation Solution
A self-moving device equipped with a walking mechanism, a connecting arm, and a control module that allows for the integration of various working heads, enabling the device to perform different tasks by selectively connecting and controlling the arm and heads, with safety and energy management features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single power tool is used for one type of work, then the device structure is simple, but the working efficiency is low and working costs are high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-moving device with a body that can selectively connect to multiple different working heads (mowing head, blowing-sucking apparatus, cutting apparatus, pruning shears, trimming head, pick-up apparatus) through a connecting arm and connecting structure, enabling a single device to perform multiple functions and replace several separate power tools, thereby improving working efficiency and reducing working costs
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate power tools are used for different tasks, then each tool can perform its specific function well, but storage space is required for multiple tools and working costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple different working heads (mowing head, blowing-sucking apparatus, cutting apparatus, pruning shears, trimming head, pick-up apparatus) that perform different work tasks into a single self-moving device with a common body and connecting arm, allowing one device to replace multiple separate tools, reducing the quantity of tools needed and saving storage space
3Adaptability or versatility
If a connecting arm is added to selectively connect working heads, then the device can perform multiple tasks, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the device into modular components: a body, a connecting arm with connecting structure, and detachable working heads. This segmentation allows the working heads to be selectively connected and disconnected, providing task capability while keeping the overall structure manageable through modular design
4Productivity
If automatic control is implemented for the connecting arm and working heads, then working efficiency improves, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a control module that enables the connecting arm to autonomously move and automatically connect to or disconnect from working heads, and controls the working heads to work automatically. This self-service automation improves working efficiency by reducing manual intervention while managing complexity through integrated control

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a self-moving device. The self-moving device includes a movement mechanism disposed on a body of the self-moving device and configured to drive the self-moving device to move; a connecting arm connected to the body and at least one working head of a plurality of working heads configured to perform different work tasks; a safety detection module configured to detect whether at least one of the self-moving device or the at least one working head is in a safe working environment; and a controller configured to control a working status of at least one of the self-moving device or the at least one working head based at least in part on a detection result of the safety detection module.
