Deployable Toy Transport Vehicle With Sliding Runway Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toy vehicles face issues with difficult assembly of runway types, space occupation, and single structure leading to weak playability, while storage types lack variety and fun.
Innovation Solution
A deployable toy transport vehicle with a cab and trailer portion, allowing conversion between transport and runway modes through sliding connections, featuring a dinosaur-shaped cab with luminous and sounding elements, and connectors guiding horizontal and vertical translations for easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the toy vehicle uses a runway type design, then playability is improved, but assembly becomes troublesome and parts are easy to be lost
Solution Approach 1:
The runway is divided into multiple modular segments that can be easily connected and disconnected. Each segment is a self-contained unit with connection interfaces that simplify assembly and reduce the risk of losing individual parts, while maintaining the overall playability of the runway structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage box and runway segments are combined into a single integrated structure. The runway segments can be stored within the box when not in use, and the box itself can serve as part of the runway structure, reducing the number of separate parts and simplifying assembly.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the toy vehicle uses a runway type design, then playability is improved, but space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The runway segments are designed to nest within each other or within the storage box when not in use. This allows the extensive runway structure to be collapsed into a compact form that occupies minimal space, while still providing ample runway length when deployed for play.
Solution Approach 2:
The runway structure is designed to be dynamic and transformable, allowing it to be extended when needed for play and collapsed or folded into a compact configuration for storage. This dynamic capability enables the runway to adapt between occupying large space during use and minimal space during storage.
3Area of stationary object
If the toy vehicle uses a storage type design, then space efficiency is improved, but structure becomes single and playability weakens
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a storage container for the runway segments, serves as part of the runway structure itself, and can function as a base or platform for the toy vehicles. This multi-functionality maintains space efficiency while significantly enhancing playability.
Solution Approach 2:
The structure incorporates movable and transformable components that allow the storage box to dynamically change configuration. The box can open to reveal stored segments, transform into part of the runway, or support various toy vehicle activities, enabling a single structure to provide diverse play experiences.
