Detachable Storage Frame Layout for Compact Vehicle Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicles face challenges in reducing the space required for transportation, as evidenced by the lack of configurations in Patent Document 1 for three-wheeled bicycles.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle configuration featuring a detachable storage frame that forms a storage space, supported by a support frame with a steering shaft integrated into a head pipe, allowing the storage frame to be detached for compact transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the storage frame is fixed to the support frame, then the storage function is stable and reliable, but the space required for transportation is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The storage frame is divided into a detachable portion and a fixed portion. The detachable portion can be removed from the support frame during transportation, while the fixed portion remains attached. This segmentation allows the vehicle to maintain full storage functionality during use while reducing transportation volume when the detachable portion is removed.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage frame transitions from a static fixed structure to a dynamic configuration where parts can be attached and detached. The detachable portion is designed to be easily coupled to and decoupled from the support frame, allowing the system to adapt between two states: full storage capacity during operation and compact configuration during transportation.
2Volume of moving object
If the storage frame is made detachable, then the transportation space is reduced, but the device complexity is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The storage frame is segmented into detachable and fixed portions with simple coupling interfaces. The detachable portion includes basic structural elements that can be easily attached and detached without complex mechanisms, balancing the need for detachability with structural simplicity.
3Volume of moving object
If the storage frame is completely removed, then the transportation space is minimized, but the storage function is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The storage frame is divided into detachable and fixed portions, where the fixed portion remains attached to the support frame during transportation. This ensures that some storage functionality is always available, while the detachable portion can be removed to minimize transportation volume. The system thus adapts between different storage capacities based on operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage frame system provides multiple functional states: full storage capacity when the detachable portion is attached, partial storage capacity when only the fixed portion remains, and compact transportation configuration when the detachable portion is removed. This multi-functionality allows the same structure to serve different purposes in different contexts.

AI summary
A vehicle includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, a steering handle, a first head pipe, a storage frame 37, and a storage frame. A first steering shaft which rotates integrally with the steering handle is inserted into the first head pipe. The first head pipe is disposed so that a lower end thereof is located forward of an upper end thereof. The support frame supports the front wheel and the rear wheel. The storage frame 37 forms a storage space for storing luggage, and is at least partially detachable from the support frame.
