Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toy car designs with clamping claws and seats are difficult to disassemble and assemble, requiring significant effort, which negatively impacts player experience.
Innovation Solution
A model car design featuring first and second locking fitting frames, a car shell assembly with a limiting part, and a locking mechanism comprising inner and outer sliders that allow for easy clamping and disengagement, enabling bidirectional sliding to facilitate assembly and disassembly without great effort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a fixedly clamped structure with clamping claws and seats is used, then the connection strength between car shell and car body is improved, but the ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the fixed clamping structure into a dynamic one by introducing sliders that can move along the car shell. The first slider moves from the front clamping seat and the second slider moves from the rear clamping seat, allowing the connection to transition between locked and unlocked states. This dynamic mechanism enables easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining strong connection when locked.
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping mechanism is segmented into multiple independent components: first clamping claw, second clamping claw, first slider, and second slider. Each component can move independently along its respective track, allowing the car shell to be assembled and disassembled through coordinated movement of these segmented parts rather than requiring forceful separation of a monolithic structure.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a fixedly clamped structure is used, then the structural stability is improved, but the time required for assembly and disassembly increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic slider mechanism allows the structure to transition quickly between stable locked states and unlocked states. The sliders can be moved along the car shell to engage or disengage the clamping claws, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly operations that maintain structural stability when connected without requiring excessive time for separation.
Solution Approach 2:
The sliders are pre-positioned on tracks within the car shell, and the clamping claws are pre-configured to engage with the car body. This preliminary arrangement allows for quick engagement without requiring complex alignment or preparation steps, reducing the time needed for assembly while ensuring stable connection.
