Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing scooters have a fixed mudguard that is inconvenient to clean and lacks multifunctionality, limiting its role to only parking support and mud protection.
Innovation Solution
A scooter design featuring a movable frame hinged to the main plate for dual-use support and protection, an inclined tail lamp plate for enhanced safety, and a detachable guard with an embedding column for easy cleaning, along with a front and rear mudguard for debris shielding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the movable frame is hinged to the main plate for dual-use support and protection, then the versatility of the scooter is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The movable frame is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a parking support when extended and provides body protection during driving when retracted. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by allowing a single component to address both parking stability and driver protection needs, improving versatility without requiring entirely separate systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable frame is made dynamically adjustable through a hinged connection and push plate mechanism, allowing it to transition between extended (parking support) and retracted (protection) positions. This dynamic capability enables the frame to adapt its configuration based on operational needs, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity by using controlled movement rather than fixed multi-purpose design.
2Ease of operation
If the guard is made detachable with embedding column for easy cleaning, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of connection may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The guard is segmented into a detachable component that can be separated from the front wheel bracket assembly. The embedding column and embeddable hole create a modular connection that allows the guard to be easily removed for cleaning while maintaining structural integrity during normal operation. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling separate maintenance of the guard without compromising the overall assembly reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The embedding column acts as an intermediary connection element between the guard and the fixing frame. This intermediate component facilitates easy detachment for cleaning while providing reliable connection during use, resolving the contradiction between ease of cleaning and connection reliability by introducing a dedicated interface designed for both secure attachment and simple removal.
3Reliability
If the tail lamp plate is integrally connected with the bottom plate with inclined light-emitting surface, then the driving safety is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The tail lamp plate features an asymmetric inclined light-emitting surface rather than a symmetric flat design. This asymmetry is intentionally designed to direct light at specific angles for optimal visibility to rearward traffic while reducing glare. The inclined surface improves driving safety through better light distribution, and while it increases manufacturing precision requirements, the asymmetry is a deliberate design choice that cannot be achieved with simpler symmetric configurations.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a scooter and relates to the technical field of vehicles for replacing walking. The scooter includes a head, a front wheel bracket, a front wheel, a body, a rear wheel bracket and a rear wheel. The body includes a main plate and a bottom plate, and a movable frame is arranged at the bottom plate. The dual-use of the movable frame can be realized by hinging the movable frame to the main plate, so that the movable frame can be used not only for the support when parking, but also for the protection of the body during driving. The tail lamp plate integrally connected to the bottom plate can better ensure the driving safety by setting the light-emitting surface inclined. Moreover, the guard can be easily removed for cleaning.
