Solution Overview

Problem

Existing weapon storage boxes lack multifunctionality and fail to provide timely personal protection, especially in security risks without bunkers or in areas with stringent gun control, rendering them unsafe for users.

Innovation Solution

A weapon storage box with a defense function that includes a rotatable upper and lower cover, a window, a handle, and an opening and closing locking mechanism, allowing the covers to form a shield for personal protection, and equipped with a mechanical and electronic lock for secure storage and operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the storage box is designed with only storage function, then the structure is simple, but the personal protection capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The storage box is designed to perform multiple functions: it can serve as a storage container when closed, and transform into a protective shield when unfolded. The box body upper cover and lower cover can rotate relative to each other to form a shield structure with observation window and handle, enabling one device to fulfill both storage and personal protection needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the storage box is made portable and movable, then the ease of carrying is improved, but the security protection capability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidsecurity protection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The storage box employs dynamic transformation capability through rotational connection between the upper and lower covers. The box can transition from a closed storage state to an unfolded shield state, providing security protection when needed while maintaining portability for easy carrying during movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the storage box uses simple opening mechanism, then the ease of operation is improved, but the security locking capability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopening convenienceVSAvoidlocking security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The locking mechanism utilizes elastic force from an elastic piece to automatically lock the box body upper cover and lower cover in the unfolded state. The elastic piece applies elastic force to the lock pin clamping plate, enabling automatic locking without requiring additional power sources or complex control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case
