Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional vehicle body moving carts are not adaptable to different vehicle shapes and sizes, requiring dedicated carts for each type, leading to high investment costs and complex systems as new models are introduced.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle body moving cart with pin clampers and a support frame, utilizing moving units and ascending/descending units to position the cart freely on a base frame, allowing it to accommodate various vehicle shapes and sizes, reducing initial costs and simplifying system configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If dedicated vehicle body moving carts are manufactured for each vehicle type, then the cart can accommodate specific vehicle shapes and sizes, but investment costs increase and system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different vehicle typesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal vehicle body moving cart that can handle multiple vehicle types through adjustable support frames and positioning mechanisms. The cart is designed with movable support frames that can be adjusted in position and height, allowing a single cart to accommodate different vehicle body shapes and sizes, thereby eliminating the need for dedicated carts for each vehicle type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms including movable support frames, adjustable positioning devices, and reconfigurable clamping systems. These dynamic elements allow the cart structure to be reconfigured for different vehicle types, providing adaptability without requiring completely different cart designs for each vehicle model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If dedicated vehicle body moving carts are manufactured for each vehicle type, then the cart can accommodate specific vehicle shapes and sizes, but investment costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different vehicle typesVSAvoidinvestment cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal vehicle body moving cart that can handle multiple vehicle types through adjustable support frames and positioning mechanisms. The cart is designed with movable support frames that can be adjusted in position and height, allowing a single cart to accommodate different vehicle body shapes and sizes, thereby eliminating the need for dedicated carts for each vehicle type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the cart structure is made more complicated to accommodate new vehicle models, then adaptability to different vehicle types improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different vehicle typesVSAvoidcart structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the cart structure into modular segments including separate support frames, positioning mechanisms, and clamping devices. Each module can be independently adjusted or reconfigured, allowing the system to adapt to different vehicle types without requiring complete structural redesign. This modular approach maintains simplicity while providing flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms including movable support frames, adjustable positioning devices, and reconfigurable clamping systems. These dynamic elements allow the cart structure to be reconfigured for different vehicle types, providing adaptability without requiring completely different cart designs for each vehicle model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A vehicle body moving cart is provided which includes a base frame and first moving units that are installed at the front, rear and center of the base frame, respectively. The first moving units are configured to reciprocate first sliding plates forward and rearward on the base frame, respectively. In addition to the first moving units, second moving units are disposed perpendicular to the first moving units installed at the front and rear of the base frame, respectively, and installed on the first sliding plates to move the second sliding plates leftward and rightward on the base frame, respectively. Installed on the second sliding plates and the first sliding plate of first unit installed at the center of the base frame, are ascending and descending units. These ascending and descending units are configured to be reciprocally movable upward and downward on the base frame.
