Rotatable Vehicle Mounting Base for Protected Aftermarket Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle mounting systems for aftermarket products are inconvenient for storage, prone to damage, and result in unstable assembly due to exposed fixed structures.
Innovation Solution
A mounting base with a body featuring an aftermarket product mounting portion and a vehicle body connection portion, equipped with a rotatable connection structure that can be stored within an accommodating cavity to prevent damage and ensure secure assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the connection structure is exposed and fixed, then the assembly is stable, but the connection structure is prone to damage and inconvenient for storage
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is nested within the accommodating cavity of the body when not in use, protecting it from external damage while maintaining quick access when needed. The cavity acts as a protective housing that stores the vulnerable connection components.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structure is designed to be rotatable rather than fixed, allowing it to dynamically transition between an exposed working position for stable assembly and a retracted storage position within the cavity for protection. This dynamic capability resolves the contradiction between stability and damage prevention.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the connection structure is rotatable and storable, then it is resistant to damage and convenient for storage, but the assembly stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable connection structure provides dynamic adaptability: when extended, it creates stable connections for assembly; when retracted into the cavity, it protects itself from damage. The system achieves both stability and damage resistance through its ability to change configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structure is pre-positioned within the accommodating cavity in a protected state, ready to be deployed when needed. This preliminary positioning ensures damage resistance while maintaining the capability for stable assembly when the structure is activated.
3Productivity
If the mounting system is standardized, then it allows for quick mounting across different products, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting base with its standardized body, accommodating cavity, and rotatable connection structure serves multiple functions: it provides stable mounting when the connection structure is extended, protects the connection components when retracted, and enables quick deployment. This multi-functionality achieves standardization benefits without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
A mounting base includes: a body; and an aftermarket product mounting portion and a vehicle body connection portion arranged on two opposite sides of the body, respectively. The aftermarket product mounting portion is configured to be connected with an aftermarket product, and the vehicle body connection portion matches with a mounting position arranged in a vehicle body. The body has an accommodating cavity, the vehicle body connection portion is provided with a connection structure, and the connection structure is rotatably connected to the body and is configured to be accommodated in the accommodating cavity.
