Movable Motor Vehicle Storage Base with Scissor Lift
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing motor vehicle storage spaces lack versatility and user comfort in terms of loading, unloading, and utilizing the storage area efficiently, as they are limited by fixed positions and lack additional functional capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A storage space base with a scissor lift mechanism and additional function apparatus, including a horizontal guiding mechanism, telescopic supporting feet, and a foldable design, allows the base to move between positions, enabling horizontal displacement, increased storage area, and secure item storage, with optional locking mechanisms for enhanced accessibility and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the storage space base is fixed in position, then the structure is simple and stable, but the loading and unloading operations are difficult and the storage area utilization is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The storage space base is transformed from a fixed structure to a movable one through the integration of a scissor lift mechanism. This allows the base to be dynamically adjusted between different positions (lower end position near the lower end region and upper end position near the upper-side opening), enabling easy loading and unloading operations while maintaining structural integrity through the engineered lifting mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage space base is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a storage surface, can be elevated to provide accessibility for loading/unloading, and can be positioned at different heights to accommodate various operational needs. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by making the base adaptable to different operational requirements without requiring multiple separate structures.
2Ease of operation
If the storage space base is elevated to improve accessibility, then loading and unloading is facilitated, but the storage space volume is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The storage space base is designed to be dynamically positionable at different heights using the scissor lift mechanism. It can be elevated to an upper end position near the upper-side opening to facilitate accessibility for loading and unloading operations, then lowered to a lower end position near the lower end region to maximize storage space volume. This dynamic positioning resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to adapt between accessibility and storage capacity based on operational needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If additional function apparatus is added to the storage space base, then user comfort and functionality are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The horizontal guiding mechanism is merged with the storage space base structure, forming an integrated assembly. The guiding mechanism is fastened to the underside of the base and moves jointly with the lifting motion, allowing the base to be displaced horizontally beyond the upper-side opening when needed. This merging approach provides enhanced functionality for loading/unloading operations while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity by integrating components rather than adding separate systems.

AI summary
Motor vehicle having a storage space embodied as a recess and having a storage space base mounted movably in a lifting manner in the storage space by a lifting device. The storage space base is movable between a lower end position adjacent to a lower end region of the storage space and an upper end position located in the region of an upper-side opening of the storage space. The storage space base has at least one additional functional apparatus positioned on an underside of the storage space base and movable in a lifting manner jointly with a lifting movement of the storage space base.
