Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Holder With Floor Mat Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicle fire extinguishers, when not secured, can move inside the vehicle during driving, posing safety risks such as getting caught under the brake pedal.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional vehicle fire extinguisher holder with a holder body, fire extinguisher gripping part, and floor mat mounting part, including a bottom support, top support, elastic bridge, anti-slip projections, and fastening mechanism, securely attaches the extinguisher to a floor mat, preventing movement and potential safety accidents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a vehicle fire extinguisher is left unsecured inside a vehicle, then it can be easily accessed and used, but it can move inside the vehicle during driving and cause safety accidents
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into distinct functional segments: a gripping part that directly contacts and secures the fire extinguisher body, and a mounting part that attaches to the floor mat. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally while working together to solve the contradiction between accessibility and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder combines multiple functions into a single integrated component: gripping the fire extinguisher, mounting to the floor mat, and preventing movement. By merging these functions, the device achieves both easy accessibility (the holder remains attached to the vehicle) and stable positioning (the fire extinguisher is securely held in place).
2Reliability
If a fire extinguisher is securely fixed to prevent movement, then safety accidents are prevented, but the device becomes more complex and harder to install
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic bridge automatically generates clamping force through its elastic deformation when the mounting portions are inserted into the floor mat. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for additional fastening components like screws or clips, achieving secure fixation while keeping the structure simple and easy to install.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder utilizes the elastic properties of the bridge material, changing the physical state from a flexible elastic component to a rigid clamping force. This parameter change allows the soft elastic bridge to generate sufficient holding force to secure the fire extinguisher firmly, achieving reliable fixation without complex mechanical structures.
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 holder effectively prevents the extinguisher from moving during driving, ensuring safety by firmly securing it to the floor mat, reducing the risk of accidents, even under inertial forces.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic bridge configured to connect a front end of the bottom support portion and a front end of the top support portion, and apply an elastic force such that a rear end of the bottom support portion and a rear end of the top support portion are brought together
Implementation Method 2
an anti-slip projection provided on a surface of the bottom support portion facing the top support portion and configured to prevent sliding from a bottom of the floor mat
