Motorized Visor Rods Block Sun Rays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current automotive sun visors fail to effectively block harmful sun rays and maintain vehicle interior cooling, as they do not provide adequate protection or adjustability to suit varying sun positions and intensities.
Innovation Solution
The Moto-Auto Visor system, comprising a motorized windshield visor with adjustable components, including a center console housing unit, adjustable leg bracket pulley, double-sided brush motors, and suction cups, allows for automatic control of a visor flap to block sun rays by extending or retracting the Upper Visor Rods powered by double AA batteries, with a remote sensor for input control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If traditional sun visors are used, then the structure is simple and cost is low, but the ability to block sun rays and maintain cooling is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The visor is divided into multiple independent flaps (upper visor flap, lower visor flap, middle visor flap) that can be adjusted separately. Each flap can be positioned independently to block sun rays from different angles, providing comprehensive protection while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The visor system incorporates adjustable and movable components including telescopic rod arms that can extend and retract, and flaps that can be positioned at different angles. This dynamic adjustability allows the visor to adapt to varying sun positions and intensities, significantly improving sun ray blocking capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional fixed visors are used, then the device is simple to manufacture, but the adjustability to suit varying sun positions is inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The visor system incorporates adjustable and movable components including telescopic rod arms that can extend and retract, and flaps that can be positioned at different angles. This dynamic adjustability allows the visor to adapt to varying sun positions and intensities, significantly improving sun ray blocking capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The visor system is designed to perform multiple functions: blocking sun rays from different angles, providing adjustable shading, and maintaining vehicle cooling. The same structure accommodates various sun positions and intensities, making it universally applicable to different driving conditions.
3Ease of operation
If motorized components are added for automatic control, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an electric motor system. The motor is connected to the rod arms and flaps, enabling automatic extension, retraction, and positioning. This substitution significantly improves ease of operation, allowing users to control the visor with minimal effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The motorized system enables the visor to automatically adjust and position itself without requiring manual intervention for each adjustment. The system serves itself by providing powered actuation for all moving components, reducing the operational burden on the user.
