Scooter Parking Module for Temporary Stops on Slopes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing short-distance transportation vehicles, such as scooters, are inconvenient for temporary parking, especially on slopes, requiring continuous brake lever pressing or manual holding to prevent sliding.
Innovation Solution
An electric short-distance transportation vehicle equipped with a parking module and a triggering unit that allows the user to switch between states, preventing the target wheel from rotating for parking and allowing it to rotate for riding, using a controller to manage the motor and brake system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If continuous brake lever pressing is used to prevent vehicle sliding, then vehicle stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The parking module automatically maintains the braking force without requiring continuous user input. Once the user triggers the parking module by pressing the triggering unit, the system self-maintains the parking state, eliminating the need for continuous brake lever pressing and improving ease of operation while preserving vehicle stability.
2Reliability
If manual holding is used to prevent vehicle sliding, then vehicle stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The parking module takes over the function of manual holding by automatically applying and maintaining braking force. The user only needs to trigger the parking module once, after which the system independently maintains the vehicle in parking state, eliminating the need for continuous manual holding and significantly improving operation convenience while ensuring vehicle stability.
3Ease of operation
If a parking module with triggering unit is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The parking module integrates multiple functions including the triggering unit, braking mechanism, and control logic into a single integrated component. This merging approach improves ease of operation by providing a unified interface while managing device complexity through functional integration rather than separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The parking module serves multiple functions: it acts as a braking mechanism, a parking control system, and a user interface through the triggering unit. This multi-functionality improves ease of operation by consolidating controls while the modular design helps manage device complexity through versatile component usage.

AI summary
An electric short-distance transportation vehicle and a scooter are provided. The electric short-distance transportation vehicle includes a body and a parking module. The body includes a target wheel. The parking module includes a triggering unit. The triggering unit is disposed on an outer surface of the body and configured to, when triggered, instruct the parking module to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the parking module prevents the target wheel from rotating to maintain the electric short-distance transportation vehicle in a powered-on and parking state; and in the second state, the parking module allows the target wheel to rotate. The electric short-distance transportation vehicle and the scooter provided in this disclosure can solve the problem that an existing short-distance transportation vehicle is inconvenient for parking temporarily.
