Car Cover Hook Clamp Structure for Anti-Detachment on Bumpy Roads
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing car cover designs for pickup trucks often result in the cover sliding or falling off, especially on bumpy roads or after long-term use, posing a safety hazard due to inadequate attachment mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
An anti-detachment hook structure is introduced, featuring a secure clamp with a lifting hook, a secure belt, and a clamp assembly. This structure connects the car cover to the car body or side rail, ensuring stability and preventing the cover from falling off.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a universal cover is used for different cargo hopper widths, then the cover can be applied to multiple models, but the cover becomes easy to slide and detach after long-term use or on bumpy roads
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp assembly incorporates adjustable components that can adapt to different cargo hopper widths while maintaining secure attachment. The dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the same clamp structure to reliably fit various models without sliding or detaching
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system is divided into separate functional components: the clamp assembly for securing to the cargo hopper, the secure belt for tensioning, and the lifting hook for connection to the cover. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, preventing sliding and detachment while maintaining versatility
2Ease of operation
If the cover is connected through clamp and wrench to side rails, then the connection works for normal road driving, but the cover loosens, slides or falls off on bumpy roads or after long-term use
Solution Approach 1:
The secure belt is pre-tensioned through the secure buckle before the cover is fully installed, ensuring immediate secure attachment. This preliminary tightening action prevents the cover from loosening during subsequent use on bumpy roads or over time
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system combines metallic components (clamp assembly, lifting hook) with elastic materials (secure belt). This composite structure provides both the strength needed for secure attachment and the elasticity to maintain tension under varying conditions, preventing loosening and sliding
3Reliability
If a secure belt with elasticity is used to connect the secure buckle and clamp assembly, then the secure belt can pull the car cover tight and accommodate bumpy roads, but the connection becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The secure belt is designed as a flexible elastic component that can stretch and contract to accommodate the movements of the vehicle on bumpy roads. This flexibility maintains reliable attachment without requiring complex rigid structures with multiple adjustment mechanisms
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The anti-detachment hook structure effectively prevents the car cover from slipping or falling off, even on bumpy roads, thereby enhancing safety and stability while maintaining adaptability to different car models.
Implementation Method 1
the secure belts have certain elasticity so that the clamps do not cause damage to the cover or body of the car as it passes over bumpy roads
