Vehicle Motor Fixture With Pivoting Stabilizer Bars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle motor support fixtures lack flexibility, stability, and compact storage, failing to accommodate varying vehicle chassis shapes and occupying excessive space when not in use.
Innovation Solution
A motor support fixture with a pivoting stabilization system, featuring telescopic crossmembers and adjustable abutment elements, allowing for optimal positioning and reduced space occupation during storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the stabilizer bar is rigidly fixed to the supporting crossmember, then the structure is simple and robust, but the positioning flexibility is limited and space occupation during storage is excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilizer bar is made movable relative to the supporting crossmember through a guide mechanism that allows sliding motion. This dynamic configuration enables the stabilizer bar to be positioned at different locations along the crossmember, providing adaptability to various vehicle chassis shapes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the stabilizer bar can slide along the guide, then positioning flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilizer bar is divided into multiple segments or portions that can be independently positioned along the supporting crossmember. This segmentation allows each portion to be adjusted to optimal positions for different vehicle configurations, enhancing adaptability while keeping the guide mechanism relatively simple through modular design.
3Volume of moving object
If the stabilizer bar is rotated to compact position, then storage space is reduced, but access to certain positions under the chassis is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilizer bar is designed to be movable along the supporting crossmember through a guide mechanism, allowing it to reach positions very close to the crossmember and to the other end of the vehicle. During operation, it can be extended to access various positions under the chassis. During storage, it can be retracted to a compact configuration, thus achieving both good accessibility and compact storage.

AI summary
A fixture (1) for supporting the motor of a vehicle with increased flexibility, comprising a supporting crossmember (2), means (3) for supporting from below the motor of a vehicle which are associated with a first end (4) of the crossmember (2), stabilization means (5) which are associated with a second end (6) of the crossmember (2), which is arranged opposite the first, and which are adapted to abut in a lower region against the chassis of the vehicle, and means (7) for anchoring to the chassis which are arranged along the cross-member (2); the stabilization means (5) comprise at least two bars (8) which are pivoted to the second end (6) and which support respective abutment elements (9) under the chassis; the bars (8) are pivoted to the crossmember (2) about a single rotation axis (A) which is substantially perpendicular to the axes of longitudinal extension of the crossmember and of the bars.
