Dry-Docking TRIZ Cases

See how downward-facing hooks and a bolt mechanism enable secure dock accessory attachment with

A chamber draws water above the waterline to create downward force, stabilizing floats without heavy ballast or under-float interference.

A detachable pylon and submerged battery pod let hybrid hydrofoil vessels swap batteries quickly while restoring charging and diagnostic links.

A pivoting brake assembly locks retractable boat-lift wheels at varied tire positions to prevent unwanted rotation and axle wear.

A bottomless floating cradle captures surface vehicles without hull-bottom contact, enabling reliable recovery underway in heavy seas.

Buoyant connecting members with voids let floating dock sections lock securely while making submerged installation and retrieval easier.

Internal channels let support beams span float modules, stiffening the platform and keeping surfaces flat under heavy loads.

A separate threaded connector adds secure accessory mounting to blow-molded floating modules without compromising air-tightness or buoyancy.

Collision vibration lets a boat control unit confirm docking completion without multiple proximity sensors, cutting system cost and complexity.

Buoyant connecting members and a detachable securement member keep adjacent dock sections locked in sockets while remaining easy to retrieve if dropped.

A sloped U-shaped ramp replaces the vertical curb on modular floating platforms, guiding hull alignment while reducing float wear and hull damage.

Rotatable spherical rollers in modular floating platforms guide watercraft with lower friction, reducing hull and float-module wear.

Radially arranged guide rollers stabilize a floating dock on pilings, allowing smooth vertical movement while preventing tipping and breakage.

Sensors map shore shape and boat position so propulsion control can dock smoothly at varied harbors while correcting wind and tidal drift.

Camera-based mark recognition retrieves docking angles, berth size, and forbidden-area data to guide watercraft safely in unfamiliar harbors.

Transforms complex sensor and control signals into intuitive docking visuals to improve maneuvering accuracy in crowded, disturbed conditions.

Real-time position and disturbance compensation let a boat adjust thrust for smooth shore arrival and accurate trailer loading.

Removable pontoons and deck sections boost float tube buoyancy, cut drag, and reduce trolling motor strain under heavier loads.

A relocatable ballast-controlled quay lowers a sloped deck to launch heavy floating units from a stationary quay without permanent infrastructure.

Adjustable wheel and guide wheel assemblies let one dock caddie fit different rail spacings, cutting trips between vehicles and boats.

Weighted submerged ramp steps and stabilizing arms help users and pets board an inflatable dock more safely and with better balance.
