Rideable Saddle Vehicle Storage Container with Dual Housing Seats
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electric or hybrid rideable saddle vehicles face a challenge in accommodating rechargeable batteries without sacrificing space typically used for storing helmets, as existing solutions do not efficiently utilize available space to house both batteries and helmets simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
The design integrates a storage container with a hinged rideable saddle that acts as a closing element, allowing the saddle to rotate between opening and closing configurations, enabling the simultaneous housing of a rechargeable battery and a helmet by utilizing a dual housing seat system within the container, where the battery's shape and handle facilitate ergonomic placement and the saddle's locking mechanism secures the battery in place.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If rechargeable batteries are accommodated in spaces previously used for helmets, then the battery capacity and autonomy are improved, but the useful space for accommodating helmets is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The storage container is divided into multiple independent housing seats: a first housing seat for the rechargeable battery and a second housing seat for the helmet. This segmentation allows both the battery and helmet to be accommodated simultaneously in separate compartments, resolving the contradiction between battery capacity and helmet storage space.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage container is arranged in a longitudinal extension along the vehicle body, utilizing the length dimension rather than competing for vertical or lateral space. This dimensional arrangement allows the battery and helmet to be stored along the longitudinal axis without interfering with each other, maintaining both autonomy and helmet storage capability.
2Volume of stationary object
If the storage container is enlarged to accommodate both battery and helmet, then the space utilization is improved, but the vehicle's compactness and maneuverability are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The rideable saddle is designed as a hinged closing element that can rotate between opening and closing configurations. When closed, it minimizes the vehicle's overall footprint and maintains compactness. When opened, it provides access to the storage container for battery and helmet retrieval, thus achieving high storage capacity without permanently increasing the vehicle's external dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage container with battery and helmet is nested within the vehicle body structure, utilizing the internal volume efficiently. The container is integrated into the existing vehicle framework, allowing maximum storage capacity without increasing the external envelope of the vehicle, thereby preserving compactness and maneuverability.

AI summary
An electric or hybrid rideable saddle vehicle, including a rechargeable battery which extends between a bottom portion and a head portion, an electric or hybrid traction motor which can be supplied by the rechargeable battery to deliver a traction torque, a storage container, where the storage container includes a first housing seat which at least partially houses the rechargeable battery so that the rechargeable battery can be inserted into, and removed from, the first housing seat, a second housing seat adapted and configured to house at least one helmet, having a first portion and a second portion, wherein: the second portion is arranged below the first portion and adjacent to the first housing seat, and when the rechargeable battery is inserted into the first housing seat, the head portion of the rechargeable battery partially occupies the second housing seat, leaving the first portion partially free and the second portion totally free.
