Remote-Control Wagon Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wagons are difficult to pull through beach sand and hard to transport in vehicles due to their size and lack of storage for beach supplies once at the destination.
Innovation Solution
A self-propelled remote-control wagon with inflatable wheels for sand travel, folding sidewalls for easy vehicle transport, and storage hooks, rails, and pockets for beach items, controlled via a wireless remote.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a wagon is used to transport beach items, then multiple trips to the vehicle are eliminated, but the wagon becomes extremely heavy and difficult to pull through beach sand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical pulling system with an electric motor system. The motor is mounted on the wagon frame and connected to the wheels via a drive mechanism, enabling self-propelled operation. This substitution eliminates the need for users to manually pull heavy loads through sand, directly resolving the contradiction between transport capacity and pulling force requirement.
2Quantity of substance
If a wagon is designed with large size for storage capacity, then more beach items can be transported, but the wagon becomes difficult to transport in a vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamic design to the sidewalls, making them foldable rather than fixed. The sidewalls can be folded parallel to the ground for compact storage in vehicles, and unfolded to a vertical position for use at the beach. This dynamic configuration allows the wagon to transition between two states: compact for transport and expanded for storage, resolving the contradiction between storage capacity and ease of transport.
3Quantity of substance
If a wagon is used for beach travel, then items can be transported to the beach, but items have no particular place to be stored outside of the wagon
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates multiple storage components with different functions: the enclosed cargo area for protected storage, foldable sidewalls with pockets for accessible items, and external hooks for hanging items. These multi-functional storage solutions allow items to be stored both inside and outside the main cargo area, providing versatility in item placement and access while maintaining transport capability.
