Outdoor Canopy Adjustable Legs and Ventilation Blinds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle canopies lack effective windproofing, adjustability, privacy, and ease of assembly/disassembly, with inadequate ventilation and door access, compromising user convenience and privacy.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle canopy with adjustable legs for uneven ground, detachable connections for easy assembly, a ventilation arrangement featuring foldable window blinds for air circulation and dust/rain protection, and side entrances for improved accessibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If windows are formed on side fabric panels for ventilation, then air circulation is improved, but user privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic window blinds that can be adjusted between open and closed positions. The blinds are attached to the side fabric panels and can be rolled up or down to control visibility while maintaining ventilation capability, allowing users to dynamically adjust privacy levels based on their needs
2Stability of the object's composition
If an inflexible mounting mechanism is employed to resist strong wind, then structural stability is improved, but ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the canopy structure into modular components including frame sections, fabric panels, and connection elements that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The mounting mechanism uses detachable connectors that provide secure attachment during use but allow quick release when needed, enabling both wind resistance and ease of assembly
3Device complexity
If the canopy height is fixed, then structural simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to uneven ground deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements adjustable height legs with telescopic or extendable mechanisms that allow the canopy to adapt to uneven ground surfaces. The legs can be independently adjusted in length to compensate for ground irregularities while maintaining overall structural stability and simplicity
4Device complexity
If only a main door opening is provided, then structural simplicity is maintained, but user accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the door system into multiple sections including the main door opening and additional side door openings. These segmented door structures provide multiple access points to the canopy interior, improving user accessibility while maintaining relatively simple construction using similar panel and frame elements

AI summary
An outdoor canopy includes a canopy frame, a canopy shelter and a side entrance arrangement. The canopy frame includes a roof frame and a legs frame downwardly extended from the roof frame to form a canopy area. The canopy shelter, which is made of waterproof fabric, is detachably fastening at the canopy frame to define a ceiling wall, a front wall, a rear wall and two sidewalls for enclosing the canopy area therewithin. The side entrance arrangement is formed on one of the sidewalls of the canopy shelter for a user to gain entry to and exit the canopy area without having to pass through the front entrance, wherein the side entrance arrangement contains a side entrance opening formed on the corresponding sidewall of the canopy shelter, and comprise at least one entrance fabric operatively mounted on the corresponding sidewall.
