Segmented Handle Head for Electric Transport Vehicles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric transport vehicle handle heads are cumbersome and difficult to transport due to their large volume and weight, as they are not conveniently disassembled, limiting ease of movement and storage.
Innovation Solution
A handle head design for electric transport vehicles that consists of two interlocking bodies, allowing for rapid disassembly and assembly, featuring a first body with gripping parts and a second body with a mounting bracket and control circuit board, connected via a pin connector and fasteners, enabling electronic and mechanical alignment for easy reassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the handle head is designed with integrated control panel, display screen, and control circuit board, then the operation convenience is improved, but the volume and weight increase making transportation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The handle head is divided into two separable bodies: a first body containing the control panel and display screen, and a second body containing the control circuit board and mounting bracket. This segmentation allows the handle head to be disassembled into smaller components for easier transportation while maintaining full functionality when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The second body is designed to fit within the installation space defined by the first body's holding portions. When assembled, the second body is positioned inside the first body, creating a compact nested structure that minimizes the overall handle head volume during operation while allowing easy separation for transportation.
2Ease of manufacture
If the handle head components are integrated into a single unit, then the assembly is simplified, but the transportation convenience is reduced due to large volume
Solution Approach 1:
The handle head is segmented into two main bodies that can be manufactured and assembled separately. The first body includes the control panel and display screen, while the second body includes the control circuit board. This segmentation enables simplified assembly during manufacturing while allowing easy disassembly for transportation.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle head transitions from a static integrated structure to a dynamic separable structure. The two bodies are connected through positioning guide columns and positioning seats that enable easy assembly and disassembly. This dynamic design allows the handle head to adapt between an assembled operational state and a separated transportation state.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the handle head is designed with fixed structure, then the structural stability is maintained, but the disassembly for transportation is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The handle head employs a dynamic connection system between the two bodies using positioning guide columns and positioning seats. These features provide stable alignment and secure connection during operation, while also enabling easy disassembly by simply separating the two bodies at the connection interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning guide columns and positioning seats act as intermediary elements that facilitate both the stable connection and easy disassembly of the two bodies. These intermediary features provide mechanical guidance and alignment during assembly, while also serving as clear separation points for disassembly, thus maintaining structural stability during operation while enabling convenient disassembly for transportation.

AI summary
A handle head of an electric transport vehicle includes a first body and a second body, with the second body being releasably connected to the first body. The second body conveniently may be disassembled from the first body when the vehicle is going to be shipped, and then reassembled for use of the vehicle. Disassembly of the second body from the first reduces the length of the handle and the volume of the handle head that otherwise need to be accommodated during shipping.
