Vehicle Luggage Slide Bar Positioning for Secure Cargo Retention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing luggage securing systems in vehicles fail to adjust the stop position of the bracing plate accurately due to inconsistent air bag expansion, leading to unpredictable luggage retention.
Innovation Solution
A luggage system with a detection part, slide bar, and driving mechanism controlled by a controller to adjust the slide bar's position based on the presence and type of luggage, using sensors to determine optimal stop positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If air is injected into the air bag to expand it and move the bracing plate, then the luggage can be held and fixed in the trunk, but the air injection cannot be smoothly adjusted and the stop position of the bracing plate cannot be precisely controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the pneumatic system (air bag and air pump) with a mechanical sliding system. The bracing plate is transformed into a slide bar that moves along a guide rail, allowing precise positional adjustment through mechanical means rather than pneumatic pressure control. This substitution enables smooth and adjustable movement to achieve reliable luggage fixing with controllable stop positions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a slide bar is introduced to move along the placement surface, then the stop position can be adjusted according to luggage, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the bracing plate into a movable slide bar component that can independently adjust its position along the placement surface. This segmentation allows the slide bar to adapt to different luggage sizes and positions while the rest of the structure remains relatively simple. The slide bar acts as an independent adjustable element within the overall fixing system.

AI summary
Adjusted is a stop position of a slide bar in accordance with luggage placed on a luggage space. In a case where a detection part configured to detect whether or not luggage exists has detected that the luggage exists, a controller of a luggage system controls a driving mechanism configured to drive a slide bar, to cause the slide bar to move in a first direction and adjusts a stop position of the slide bar in the first direction.
