Winch Safety Device with Real-Time Load Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing winch safety designs rely on sudden overload alarms, which can startle users and fail to provide proactive control over load changes, leading to potential safety accidents, especially for novice operators.
Innovation Solution
A winch safety device incorporating a power module, detection module, control module, display driving module, and display module to monitor and display load changes, allowing users to anticipate overload conditions and make proactive adjustments, along with an alarm module for overload alerts, and voltage stabilizing units to ensure reliable operation amidst power fluctuations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sudden overload alarm is used, then safety warning is provided, but user psychology is impacted and disorientation may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by displaying load information before overload occurs, allowing users to anticipate and prepare for potential overload conditions. The display module shows real-time load values and trends, enabling users to take preventive measures before the sudden alarm triggers, thus avoiding psychological shock while maintaining safety warnings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by continuously displaying load information to users through the display module. This real-time feedback allows users to monitor load changes, understand the current state, and make informed decisions, replacing the sudden alarm with continuous information flow that reduces psychological impact while maintaining safety awareness.
2Reliability
If overload alarm only is used, then safety is improved to certain extent, but proactive control capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by providing continuous real-time load information display, enabling users to monitor load changes actively. This feedback mechanism empowers users to take proactive control by adjusting operations based on displayed load trends, rather than merely reacting to sudden overload alarms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary element - the display module - that mediates between the detection module and the user. This intermediary transforms raw detection data into comprehensible load information, enabling users to understand current state and make informed proactive decisions, bridging the gap between detection and user control.
