Dry-Docking TRIZ Cases

Rotatable support members adjust height and angle to securely hold diverse watercraft, resolving versatility versus complexity trade-offs.

Segmented precast concrete elements create a self-stabilizing drainage system that eliminates landfill dependency and reduces assembly difficulty.

Horizontal blades on guide posts slide through brackets to accommodate water level changes while maintaining stability.

Nested concentric tubes allow the sleeve to extend and retract, resolving the conflict between low-profile aesthetics and flood security.

A kayak dolly-lift system uses pivotable C-shaped wings to support a vessel during vertical launch and retrieval operations.

An actuated bow stop pushes watercraft along a transport track, replacing complex winch lifts that struggle in deep water.

Selective deflation of the gate portion increases density, allowing the barrier to pivot open for vessel entry while maintaining protection against corrosion.

A raw water collar seals a hull to pump antifreeze into auxiliary systems, preventing freezing damage while conserving freshwater supplies.

Inflatable bellows maintain internal pressure to limit dynamic roll and pitch of small passenger boats while accommodating varying step heights.

A tilting canopy pivots upward to cover boats with towers.

A boat lift uses linear actuators above water to prevent corrosion while maintaining operational ease.

Segmented extension structures attach to existing bases to increase coverage without replacing the entire unit, reducing replacement complexity.

Buoyant damping pads on a catamaran stern reduce relative movements between the vessel and turbine, enabling stable maintenance in deep waters.

A slidable base moves along a track to confine lateral motion while a movement control member absorbs shock forces.

A composite tie rod assembly with threaded engagement structures secures floating dock components using elastic matrix materials.

Direct DBW CAN cable connects boat remote control ECU to outboard motor propulsion unit.

A top-lock connector joins floating dock sections using expandable slotted cylinders and cones to secure the structure from above.

Direct rigid blower connections eliminate hose failures while polyethylene tanks provide stable lifting in narrow slips.

A robot painting chamber uses air suction to capture overspray particles during hull coating operations.

Segmented bunk assemblies with movable top portions accommodate varying boat sizes, eliminating the need for multiple specialized lifts.

A hull assembly connects multiple standup paddleboards using tethered semi-ovular and hexagonal topsides to form a unified platform.

A pneumatic air flow controller uses a biased gate to direct airflow between a blower and pontoon.

Lateral floats and a flexible support structure cradle the hull, preventing slipping and damage during crane-assisted launching.

Telescoping support members adjust rail height and spacing to accommodate varying hull widths, reducing wave damage without heavy transport equipment.

Aligned sidewall notches accept oar shafts to pull the vessel forward, resolving poor accessibility and stability trade-offs in traditional launches.

Sensors detect vessel position on the trolley frame while a controller coordinates drive movement along the track, automating deployment from storage.

A bunk mounting system with pivot connectors and adjustable crossbeams enables flexible positioning of support bunks.

Multiple flotation tanks with regulated water flow maintain a horizontal attitude, preventing corrosion and fouling in saltwater environments.

Actuated clamp portions guide the pin into hinge plates, eliminating manual alignment risks and preventing finger injuries during installation.

Nested 5-gallon buckets in beam sections create a buoyant dock, solving transport weight and plastic waste issues.

A molded floating dock with a recessed platform and rub-rail post supports personal watercraft.
