Innovation Solution
A hybrid conversion kit with a support frame, electric motor, oil-hydraulic pump, and adjustable anchoring system featuring sliding guides and hooks that can be fixed to various mounting surfaces, along with a cable-holding device and control station for electric operation, allowing for universal installation and reduced exhaust emissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If custom anchoring groups are made for every vehicle model to ensure proper installation, then the installation reliability is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The anchoring group is designed as a universal component that can be installed on multiple vehicle models. The support frame includes adjustable anchoring means that can adapt to different mounting surfaces and configurations, eliminating the need to create custom anchoring groups for each vehicle model while maintaining reliable installation
Solution Approach 2:
The anchoring group incorporates adjustable and movable elements that allow adaptation to different vehicle models. The support frame can be positioned and secured in various locations, and the anchoring means can be adjusted to match different mounting surface configurations, providing both universality and reliability
2Volume of moving object
If the electric motor and hydraulic pump are installed outside the vehicle to save space, then the space constraints are relieved, but the anchoring complexity increases due to varying mounting surfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is designed as a universal external mounting structure that can be installed on various vehicle types. It includes adjustable anchoring means that can adapt to different external mounting surfaces and configurations, allowing the hydraulic pump and electric motor to be mounted outside the vehicle without increasing anchoring complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The external mounting system is divided into modular components: a support frame structure, adjustable anchoring means, and connection interfaces. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates adaptation to different vehicle models while maintaining simple installation procedures
3Power
If endothermic engines are used in closed environments, then propulsion power is maintained, but harmful exhaust gases accumulate creating health risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the endothermic engine with an electric motor for propulsion. The electric motor drives the hydraulic pump through electrical power, eliminating the combustion process and harmful exhaust gas emissions while maintaining the necessary propulsion power for vehicle operation in closed environments
Solution Approach 2:
By eliminating the endothermic engine and its harmful exhaust emissions, the patent converts a harmful operating condition into a beneficial one. The electric propulsion system provides the same functional output (hydraulic power for propulsion) without producing harmful substances, making the vehicle suitable for operation in closed or environmentally sensitive areas
