Solution Overview

Problem

Existing tire slip stoppers are not suitable for two-wheeled vehicles and cannot effectively prevent slipping, especially in poor road conditions.

Innovation Solution

A pluggable two-way tire slip stopper system comprising two identical slip stoppers that interlock via a slot and protrusion mechanism, featuring an anti-slip portion with inclined surfaces and anti-slip belts, and a plug portion with grooves and longitudinal partitions for enhanced traction, allowing for combined use to prevent slipping on two-wheeled vehicles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single ordinary slip stopper is used, then it is simple in structure and easy to manufacture, but it cannot effectively prevent slipping on two-wheeled vehicles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveslip prevention effectivenessVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two slip stoppers into a single integrated unit by plugging their back portions together through slot-protrusion engagement. This merging approach maintains the effectiveness of dual stoppers while creating a unified device that is easier to handle and store than separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The slip stopper is divided into distinct functional segments: anti-slip portions at the front ends for contacting the vehicle body, a connecting portion for interlocking two units, and plug portions at the back ends for engagement. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the anti-slip portion has a simple shape, then it is easy to manufacture, but it provides insufficient anti-slip performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-slip performanceVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-slip portion features an obliquely upward surface with multiple anti-slip belts and protruding strips concentrated at the contact area with the vehicle body. This local enhancement of surface complexity provides superior grip where needed while keeping other parts of the structure simple for easy manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The anti-slip belts have inclined surfaces and the protruding strips create a non-planar, curved surface profile that increases friction contact area. This curved geometry enhances anti-slip performance compared to flat surfaces, while still being manufacturable using standard molding techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Reliability

If the plug portion has a square shape with slot and protrusion, then it enables reliable interlocking of two slip stoppers, but it increases manufacturing precision requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterlocking reliabilityVSAvoiddimensional tolerance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The plug portion uses asymmetric slot-protrusion geometry where the protrusion from one slip stopper engages with the slot of another. This asymmetric design provides automatic alignment and reliable mechanical interlocking while being tolerant of reasonable manufacturing variations, balancing reliability with manufacturability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

4Reliability

If the anti-slip belts are provided with grooves and longitudinal partitions, then it enhances traction and anti-slip effect, but it increases structural complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraction capabilityVSAvoidsurface structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The grooves and longitudinal partitions are localized to the anti-slip belts on the inclined surfaces, concentrating the complex anti-slip features only where contact with the vehicle occurs. The rest of the structure remains simple, minimizing overall complexity while maximizing traction where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
