Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual climbing is used to mount the robot on overhead bare wires, then the robot can be positioned for coating, but the operation becomes complicated and requires a large number of devices
Solution Approach 1:
The robot uses its own winding traction module to automatically climb and position itself on the overhead bare wires without requiring manual climbing or external mounting equipment. The robot winds the traction belt around the wire and uses its own drive force to ascend, making the mounting process self-service and eliminating the need for complex external mounting devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical climbing system with an automated winding traction system. The winding motor drives the spool to wind the traction belt, and the robot uses this belt to climb the wire automatically, substituting manual mechanical operations with an automated mechanical system that reduces device complexity.
2Productivity
If manual spraying is used for coating overhead bare wires, then the coating can be applied, but the efficiency is low and the speed is slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual spraying operations with an automated coating module that is mechanically driven by the walking module. The coating module automatically tracks along with the robot as it climbs, providing continuous automated coating application that significantly increases spraying efficiency and reduces the time required compared to manual spraying.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot achieves continuous coating application as it climbs the overhead wire. The walking module and coating module work continuously without interruption, maintaining constant contact with the wire for coating. This continuous operation eliminates the start-stop nature of manual spraying, thereby increasing productivity and reducing total spraying time.
3Reliability
If manual climbing is used to mount the robot, then the robot can be positioned, but workers face safety hazards from climbing high and low
Solution Approach 1:
The robot performs its own mounting operation automatically using its winding traction module, eliminating the need for workers to climb high and low. The self-service mounting process improves operational safety by completely removing human exposure to height-related hazards while maintaining ease of operation through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the dangerous manual climbing operation from the system by replacing it with an automated robot mounting process. The harmful element of manual high-altitude climbing is taken out and replaced with a safe automated system that uses the winding traction module to position the robot without human intervention at height.
4Productivity
If conventional coating robots are used, then coating can be applied, but the method is complicated to operate and requires a large number of devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into an integrated robot system. The winding traction module, walking module, and coating module are combined into a single self-contained robot that can autonomously climb and coat. This merging of functions reduces the number of separate devices required and simplifies the overall system while maintaining high spraying efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot is designed with multi-functionality, where the same robot performs both the climbing function (via winding traction module) and the coating function (via coating module). This universal design eliminates the need for separate mounting equipment and coating equipment, reducing device complexity while maintaining high productivity through integrated operation.
