Solution Overview

Problem

One-wheeled balancing scooters require a high level of user balance, especially for beginners, as the balance of the pedals on both sides must be maintained during riding, making it difficult for them to master the vehicle's balance.

Innovation Solution

An auxiliary riding device is provided, featuring a mounting base, a stop block with a locking mechanism, and an auxiliary mechanism with a swinging arm that can switch between a released and contraction state, allowing the device to act as a support during riding and automatically reset to avoid obstacles, facilitating balance and smooth operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the auxiliary mechanism is extended to provide support, then the balance stability is improved, but the risk of bumping on obstacles increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebalance stabilityVSAvoidbumping on obstacles
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary mechanism is designed with dynamic extendable and retractable components. The support arm can extend to provide stability when needed and retract to avoid obstacles, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different riding conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The auxiliary mechanism incorporates sensors and control systems that automatically detect obstacles and trigger the retraction of support components. The system serves itself by autonomously deciding when to extend or retract based on environmental conditions, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Stability of the object's composition

If the auxiliary mechanism is always extended, then the balance support is maximized, but the device complexity and potential interference with normal driving increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebalance supportVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary mechanism is divided into multiple independent segments that can move relative to each other. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while reducing overall structural complexity and enabling independent control of different support elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support components are designed with nested structures where smaller elements are housed within larger ones. When retracted, the support arm folds into the body housing, minimizing the overall footprint and reducing the apparent complexity of the extended structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
