Rideable Saddle Vehicle Storage Container with Cover Braking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage containers for rideable saddle vehicles, such as motorcycles, do not ensure accurate control of the rotation movement of the cover during opening and closing operations, leading to potential damage and user safety issues.
Innovation Solution
A storage container with a braking device integrated into the containment body to slow down the movement of the cover, combined with an elastic element to provide a more controlled and fluid opening and closing motion, reducing the risk of impact and noise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cover is allowed to rotate freely during opening and closing operations, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability deteriorates due to lack of control over rotation movement causing potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the cover by integrating a braking device that dynamically adjusts rotational speed and an elastic element that modifies the stiffness characteristics. This allows the cover to transition from rigid free rotation to controlled movement with regulated speed and force, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The braking device and elastic element act as intermediary components between the user's manual operation and the cover's rotation. The braking device mediates the rotational speed while the elastic element mediates the closing force, providing controlled movement that maintains both ease of operation and reliability
2Productivity
If the cover moves quickly during opening and closing, then the productivity is improved, but the object-affected harmful factors worsen due to impact damage and noise
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic element provides beforehand cushioning by storing elastic potential energy during cover movement and releasing it gradually. This cushioning effect prevents abrupt impacts and reduces noise while maintaining operational efficiency, addressing the contradiction between productivity and harmful factors
Solution Approach 2:
The braking device converts the potentially harmful kinetic energy of rapid cover movement into controlled rotational deceleration. By transforming the harmful impact into a controlled braking process, the system maintains productivity while eliminating damage and noise issues

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The braking device and elastic element combination minimizes the abruptness of cover movement, preventing damage to the container and enhancing user safety by reducing noise and the likelihood of injury.
Implementation Method 1
a braking device integrated into the containment body and adapted to slow down the movement of the cover
Implementation Method 2
an elastic element integrated into the containment body and adapted to move in use between a first position, in which the cover is in the closed position, and a second position, in which the cover is in the open position

AI summary
A storage container for a rideable saddle vehicle, the container including a containment body having a base and a cover hinged to the base and adapted to be pivotally moved along a stroke extending between an angular closing position and an angular opening position, where the storage container has at least one braking device coupled to, or integrated in, the containment body, which is adapted and configured to slow down the movement of the cover along at least part of the stroke.
