Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional all-terrain vehicles powered by gasoline or diesel emit pollutants and have complex structures, leading to high maintenance costs and environmental concerns.

Innovation Solution

An electric all-terrain vehicle with a simplified structure, featuring a motor and gearbox at the rear, a battery pack under the seat, and a cargo compartment above, utilizing space efficiently for easy maintenance, and incorporating a control method for vehicle braking that monitors states and adjusts braking modes based on rotating speed and gear position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional all-terrain vehicles use gasoline or diesel engines, then they can provide sufficient power, but they emit exhaust pollution and generate noise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexhaust pollutionVSAvoidvehicle power
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the conventional internal combustion engine (mechanical system) with an electric motor system. The electric motor is driven by a battery pack, eliminating the need for fuel combustion. This substitution removes exhaust emissions and noise generation while providing sufficient power through electrical energy conversion, directly resolving the contradiction between environmental harm and power output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional all-terrain vehicles use complex structures to achieve functionality, then they can perform various tasks, but the maintenance cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle functionalityVSAvoidmaintenance cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the vehicle into modular functional units: electric motor, gearbox, battery pack, cargo compartment, and handle assembly. Each module can be independently accessed, inspected, and maintained. The cargo compartment can be detached for separate maintenance, and the electric components are positioned for easy access, reducing overall maintenance complexity and cost while preserving full vehicle functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Volume of stationary object

If the cargo compartment is fixed to the vehicle frame, then the structure is stable, but the space utilization is inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic cargo compartment system that can transition between locked and unlocked states. When locked, the cargo compartment provides stable structural support. When unlocked, it can be detached or repositioned to optimize space utilization for different cargo configurations. This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction between structural stability and space efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
