Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing awning devices for vehicles are cumbersome, difficult to set up and dismantle, and limited in design flexibility, with a poor appearance due to their protruding structure and inability to use various awning designs.
Innovation Solution
A collapsible awning support device featuring a vertical pole that can be erected or laid down, with rotatable and adjustable support bars and ropes that allow for easy mounting and dismounting, enabling the use of various awning designs and preventing sagging or fluttering.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a long frame is used to secure a wide shade space, then the awning coverage area is improved, but the device weight and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple segments that can be connected together. This allows the frame to achieve a large coverage area when assembled, while each individual segment remains compact and manageable, reducing overall structural complexity and facilitating easier setup and dismantling.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame segments are designed to nest within each other when not in use, allowing the entire frame structure to be collapsed into a compact form. This resolves the contradiction by enabling large coverage area when deployed while maintaining low storage complexity and portability.
2Area of stationary object
If the awning device is installed protruding outward from the vehicle, then the shade space is improved, but the appearance is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The awning device is designed with a dynamic support system where the vertical pole can be erected or laid down. When not in use, the pole is laid down flat against the vehicle, maintaining a sleek appearance. When needed, the pole is erected to provide the necessary shade space, thus resolving the contradiction between appearance and functionality.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the awning is connected to the frame, then the structural stability is improved, but the versatility of awning designs is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between the awning and frame is segmented into modular components that can be easily assembled and disassembled. This allows different awning designs to be attached to the same stable frame structure, maintaining structural stability while enabling versatility in awning designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure is designed with universal connection points and standardized interfaces that can accommodate various types of awnings. This allows a single frame design to provide stable support for multiple different awning styles and configurations, resolving the contradiction between stability and versatility.
4Strength
If a heavy frame is used to support a large awning, then the structural strength is improved, but the ease of operation is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is segmented into lighter individual components that can be easily handled and assembled. While each segment is lighter and easier to operate, their combined structure provides sufficient strength to support large awnings, thus resolving the contradiction between strength and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame incorporates dynamic elements such as telescopic poles and collapsible sections that reduce the overall weight and complexity of the structure. These dynamic features maintain structural strength when deployed while significantly improving ease of setup and dismantling operations.
