Power Tool Stand Carriage With Separate Battery Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power tool stands, such as those for drills, are cumbersome due to the large and heavy nature of the drill power tools, making mounting and using them awkward and time-consuming, and hoses for dust and lubrication management interfere with operation.
Innovation Solution
A power tool stand with a base, projecting frame, and moveable power tool carriage that includes electrical interfaces for connecting removable power tools and batteries, featuring a rack and pinion mechanism for movement, pivotable frame, and optional wheels and locking mechanisms for stability and ease of use.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a drill power tool is mounted on a drill stand, then the stability of the power tool during use is improved, but the drill power tool is very large and heavy making mounting and using it cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The power tool is divided into two separate components: the drill body and the battery pack. The battery pack is mounted on the drill stand while the drill body remains handheld, allowing the user to benefit from stability for the mounted component while maintaining ease of operation for the handheld component.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack is extracted from the complete power tool assembly and mounted separately on the drill stand. This extraction allows the heavy battery component to provide stability to the stand while the lighter drill body can be easily manipulated by the user.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If hoses for dust and lubrication management are attached to the drill, then dust and lubrication management is achieved, but the hoses interfere with the operation of the drill
Solution Approach 1:
The hose connections are extracted from the handheld drill body and relocated to the stationary drill stand. This allows dust and lubrication management functionality to be maintained while eliminating the interference of hoses during drill operation, as the hoses are now connected to the fixed stand rather than the moving tool.

AI summary
A power tool stand comprises a base; a projecting frame connected to the base; and a power tool carriage moveably mounted on the projecting frame. The power tool carriage comprises a first interface arranged to electrically connect with a removeable power tool and a second interface in electrical connection with the first interface and arranged to electrically connect with a removeable battery.
