Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional motorcycle fairing brackets do not allow for adjustable height or position of the fairing, limiting customization and compatibility with different motorcycle models.

Innovation Solution

A fairing assembly with a height adjuster mechanism that replaces the conventional fairing bracket, allowing for adjustable height and horizontal positioning of the fairing through a system of engagement holes and coupling members, along with an anti-vibration frame for enhanced stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional fixed fairing bracket is used, then the fairing is firmly fixed to the motorcycle body, but the fairing height and position cannot be adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefairing height adjustabilityVSAvoidbracket structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fairing bracket is divided into an upper bracket and a lower bracket as separate adjustable components. The upper bracket can be positioned at different heights relative to the lower bracket through engagement holes, allowing the fairing height to be adjusted while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket structure transitions from a fixed design to an adjustable design. The upper bracket can be dynamically repositioned to different heights by engaging with different holes in the lower bracket, enabling the fairing height to be adjusted according to user preferences or different riding conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the fairing bracket structure is made adjustable with multiple components, then the fairing height can be customized, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefairing adjustment easeVSAvoidbracket assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lower bracket is pre-equipped with multiple engagement holes at different heights before assembly. This allows the upper bracket to be quickly positioned and fixed at the desired height without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms during installation, simplifying the overall adjustment process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The engagement holes act as intermediaries between the upper and lower brackets. These holes provide predetermined positioning points that facilitate easy alignment and connection, reducing the complexity of the adjustment mechanism while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a simple fixed bracket is used, then the structure remains simple, but the fairing cannot be adjusted for different motorcycle models or user preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different motorcycle modelsVSAvoidnumber of bracket components
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The fairing bracket assembly with adjustable upper and lower brackets serves multiple functions: it can be adapted to different motorcycle models, adjust fairing height for different rider preferences, and maintain secure fixation. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple different bracket designs for different applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The upper bracket is designed to be positioned within or over the lower bracket structure, with the two components nesting together through the engagement holes. This nested arrangement allows for height adjustment while minimizing the overall space occupied and reducing the quantity of separate components needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
