Parking Barrier Base System with Flexible Anchoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing parking barriers face challenges in installation on asphalt surfaces, requiring the destruction of asphalt to create concrete pads for anchoring, which is costly and leaves unsightly scars, and struggle with resistance to tearing and adaptation to uneven ground levels.
Innovation Solution
A parking barrier device with a pre-cut sheet base system featuring flexible connections and strategically placed openings for fasteners, allowing direct nailing or gluing to the asphalt without concrete pads, and adaptable to uneven surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If conventional parking barriers are fixed to asphalt ground by creating concrete pads, then anchoring strength is improved, but installation cost and time increase and aesthetic appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the bases from the common support structure, allowing each base to be independently positioned and fixed to the ground. This eliminates the need for a rigid common support that requires large concrete pads, enabling direct fixation to asphalt surfaces through smaller, less invasive anchoring points.
Solution Approach 2:
The common support structure is segmented into multiple independent bases that can be separately positioned and fixed. Each base can be anchored independently to the asphalt ground, distributing the anchoring requirements across multiple small points rather than requiring one large concrete pad, thereby reducing installation cost and aesthetic impact while maintaining strength.
2Strength
If three independent bases are used for parking barriers, then resistance to tearing is improved, but installation precision requirements increase and ground deterioration increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the positioning function into a single common support structure that guides the placement of all bases. This common support acts as a template ensuring precise positioning of the three independent bases relative to each other, thereby maintaining the tearing resistance benefits of multiple bases while reducing installation precision requirements through the guiding function of the common support.
3Ease of operation
If bases are rigidly attached to a common base, then installation is simplified, but adaptability to uneven ground deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces flexibility between the common support and the individual bases, allowing the bases to move independently relative to the common support. This dynamic configuration enables the bases to adapt to uneven ground surfaces while the common support maintains the overall structural integrity and guides positioning, thus preserving both installation simplicity and ground adaptability.
