Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional slope work vehicles require reattachment of anchors and wires when moving beyond the anchor breadth, leading to decreased work efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A slope work vehicle equipped with left and right traveling apparatuses, winches, winch operating means, tension detecting means, and wire fairleaders, allowing for independent wire management and adjustment, enabling efficient movement in the left/right direction on a slope.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the slope work vehicle uses a single base plate and pair of winches with wires fixed to anchors, then the vehicle can be moved in left/right direction up to the breadth of the anchors, but the vehicle cannot be moved beyond the anchors without reattaching wires and anchors
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the single base plate into multiple base plates (first base plate and second base plate) that can be independently positioned. Each base plate can be attached to different anchors, allowing the vehicle to be reconfigured for movement beyond the original anchor breadth without reattaching the wires themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a movable connection mechanism between the base plates and winches, allowing the base plates to be dynamically repositioned. The winches can be connected to either the first base plate or the second base plate, enabling flexible adaptation when moving beyond anchor limits.
2Device complexity
If the slope work vehicle uses a single base plate and pair of winches, then the structure is simple, but the vehicle requires temporary movement to level ground for reattachment when exceeding anchor breadth
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the base plate structure into multiple detachable base plates, the system eliminates the need to move to level ground for reattachment. The base plates can be directly repositioned on the slope using the winch mechanism, saving time and avoiding complex reattachment procedures.
3Productivity
If the slope work vehicle uses independent winch operation capability, then the vehicle can be moved efficiently in left/right direction, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The winch system is segmented into independently controllable first and second winches, each capable of being operated separately. This allows selective wire tensioning and vehicle positioning without requiring complex coordinated control of both winches simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The tension detecting means provides feedback on wire tension status, allowing the winch operating means to automatically adjust wire tension without requiring complex manual coordination. The system self-regulates based on detected tension levels.
