Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hydraulic devices operate independently and lack the ability to report their unique working statuses back to a user, necessitating blind command sending without feedback, which is inefficient and potentially dangerous.
Innovation Solution
A remotely controlling and wirelessly receiving device that includes a shell, wireless communications module, processor module, and port module, enabling wireless control and data relay between electronic devices and external devices, allowing users to monitor and manage multiple hydraulic devices from a distance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a controller is used to wirelessly control hydraulic devices from a distance, then the user can send commands to multiple hydraulic devices, but the unique working statuses of these hydraulic devices cannot be reported back to the user
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where hydraulic devices transmit their working status data back to the user through a mobile terminal. The controller receives control commands from the user, sends them to hydraulic devices, and simultaneously receives status feedback from these devices to display on the mobile terminal, creating a closed-loop control system that resolves the information loss problem.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile terminal serves as an intermediary device between the controller and the hydraulic devices. It receives control commands from the controller, transmits them to hydraulic devices, and simultaneously receives status data from the hydraulic devices to display to the user, thereby enabling two-way communication without requiring direct connection between controller and devices.
2Loss of information
If the user manually connects a cable to each hydraulic device for data transfer, then the user can obtain working status data, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical cable connection system with a wireless communication system. The controller wirelessly transmits control commands to hydraulic devices and simultaneously receives status data without physical connections, eliminating the time-consuming manual cable plugging and unplugging process while maintaining full data transfer capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a command transmission device and a data reception device. It can simultaneously send control commands to multiple hydraulic devices and receive status data from them through wireless communication, consolidating multiple manual data collection operations into a single automated process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If hydraulic devices operate independently with unique working statuses, then each device can function autonomously, but the user cannot obtain comprehensive information about all devices simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the information from multiple independent hydraulic devices into a unified display on the mobile terminal. The controller collects status data from all devices and consolidates it into a comprehensive interface that presents all device statuses simultaneously, allowing the user to monitor multiple autonomous devices without compromising their independence.

AI summary
A remotely controlling and wirelessly receiving device includes a shell. A wireless communications module in the shell is configured to wirelessly connect an electronic device. A port of a port module is mounted on the shell, and the port is configured to have wired connection with an external device. When a user interface generates a signal to a processor module, the processor module sends a control command to the electronic device via the wireless communications module. When the processor module receives a work data outputted by the electronic device through the wireless communications module, the processor module relays and outputs the work data to the external device through the port of the port module. A user positioned far away from the electronic device is able to immediately acknowledge a working status of the electronic device according to the work data received and subsequently displayed by the external device.
