Solution Overview

Problem

Bicycles parked by leaning them against walls or laying them flat on the ground are prone to frame damage and cannot be neatly arranged, leading to collisions and instability during parking or removal.

Innovation Solution

A bicycle parking device with an adjustable length, featuring a base and a detachable positioning component with fixed and telescopic tubes, allowing for three-point positioning of bicycle wheels and accommodating different tire diameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If bicycles are leaned against a wall or laid flat on the ground for parking, then the parking operation is simple, but the frame may be damaged and the arrangement is not neat

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveparking operation simplicityVSAvoidframe damage and collision risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a positioning component with positioning points as an intermediary between the bicycle wheel and the ground. This positioning component provides a stable support structure that prevents direct contact between the bicycle frame and the ground, thereby avoiding frame damage and collisions while maintaining simple parking operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The positioning component features an adjustable telescopic tube assembly that can change its length parameter to accommodate bicycles of different tire diameters. This parameter adjustment capability allows the positioning component to adapt to various bicycle sizes while maintaining stable support and neat arrangement

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If a fixed-length positioning component is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate bicycles of different tire diameters

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepositioning component structureVSAvoidaccommodation of different tire diameters

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning component incorporates a telescopic tube assembly with movable sections that can extend and retract to adjust the length. This dynamic structure allows the positioning component to adapt to different bicycle tire diameters while maintaining a relatively simple overall design through the use of standard telescopic mechanisms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present invention relates to bicycle parking device with an adjustable length, comprising a base and a positioning component detachably assembled above the base. The positioning component has at least two fixed tubes and a telescopic tube assembly in connection with the fixed tubes. The telescopic tube assembly has at least two first tubes and at least two second tubes pivotally connected with each other. A first positioning point is formed at connection of each of the first tubes with the base. A second positioning point is formed at connection of each of the first tubes with each of the fixed tubes. A third positioning point is formed at connection of each of the fixed tubes with the base. The first, second, and third positioning points provide a stable three-point positioning structure for the positioning component, which enhances stability when a bicycle tire is placed on the positioning component.
