Foldable Vehicle Seat Pet Cushion With Adjustable Cushion Cavity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pet cushions for vehicle seats are not adjustable in size or foldable, leading to inconvenience when pets are present, as they occupy space that could be used by humans, and manual splicing complicates assembly and reduces service life.
Innovation Solution
A pet cushion design featuring a bottom cushion and side cushions that can be connected and folded via right-angle sides with folding parts, allowing for adjustable spatial area by unfolding or folding, and using zippers, buttons, or magnets for detachable connections, with a waterproof layer and cushioning material for comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a bottom cushion is designed as an integral cushion that cannot be folded, then the cushion structure is simple and durable, but the spatial area cannot be adjusted for pets of different numbers or sizes, causing inconvenience when people need to sit
Solution Approach 1:
The bottom cushion is divided into multiple detachable cushion units that can be connected together. Each cushion unit has connection structures (such as zippers, buttons, or magnetic fasteners) that allow them to be joined side-by-side to form a larger cushion surface. This segmentation enables the cushion spatial area to be adjusted by connecting or disconnecting units, while each individual unit remains structurally simple and durable.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a pet cushion is designed as a spliced cushion formed by splicing several cushions together, then the cushion cavity size can be adjusted, but the bottom cushion and side cushions need to be manually spliced with relatively complex operations, and frequent disassembly and assembly reduces the service life
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structures between cushion units replace complex manual splicing operations with simpler mechanical fastening mechanisms. Options include zippers that slide open and closed, buttons that snap together, or magnetic fasteners that attach and detach with minimal effort. These mechanisms substitute for tedious manual splicing while maintaining secure connections, making frequent assembly and disassembly practical without reducing service life.
3Adaptability or versatility
If side cushions are integrally arranged on bottom cushions without detachable connections, then the cushion structure is stable, but the cushion cannot be folded or adjusted, reducing versatility for different usage scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion transitions from a static, fixed structure to a dynamic, reconfigurable one. Detachable connection structures allow the side cushions and bottom cushions to be connected or disconnected based on usage needs. When connected, the structure provides stability for pet comfort; when disconnected, the cushions can be folded, compressed, or stored efficiently. This dynamic capability enables adaptation to different scenarios while maintaining structural integrity during use.
