Vehicle Rear Grip Cover Positioning for Assembly Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle rear structures lack enhanced assembly accuracy of different parts, leading to suboptimal joint connections and appearance.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle rear structure design featuring a body cover positioned below the occupant seat, a rear grip body for the occupant to hold, and a rear grip cover that overlaps the body cover, with a body cover positioning section on the rear grip body, engagement parts for precise alignment, and oval-shaped mounting holes for adjustable fastening, ensuring accurate assembly and flush surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the body cover and rear grip cover are disposed as discrete members away from each other, then the assembly is easier to manufacture, but the assembly accuracy and joint connection quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the body cover and rear grip cover into a single integrated cover structure that covers both the vehicle body and rear grip area. This unified design eliminates the discrete member configuration, ensuring continuous coverage and improved assembly accuracy while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through integrated molding or assembly processes.
2Device complexity
If the body cover and rear grip cover are disposed away from each other, then the structure is simpler, but the outward appearance and joint connection quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the body cover and rear grip cover into one continuous covering structure, eliminating gaps and improving the outward appearance. The integrated design ensures smooth transitions and continuous surface coverage, enhancing aesthetic quality while the structure remains manageable through modular fastening systems.
3Ease of manufacture
If discrete body cover and rear grip cover are used, then the components are easier to manufacture separately, but the joint sections are not smoothly connected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the body cover and rear grip cover into a single unified structure, eliminating the joint section between discrete components. This ensures smooth continuous coverage without gaps or misalignments, while the integrated manufacturing process maintains production efficiency through streamlined molding or assembly operations.
