Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional mudguards with arcuate curved sheets occupy excessive space during packaging, leading to inefficient use of shipping containers and increased transportation costs.

Innovation Solution

A multi-section mudguard structure composed of blocking bars and connectors, allowing for disassembly and flexible packing, with one bar integrated with a rack to reduce overall volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional arcuate curved sheet mudguards are used, then dust blocking functionality is improved, but packaging volume efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust blocking capabilityVSAvoidpackaging volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The mudguard is divided into multiple straight blocking bars instead of a single arcuate curved sheet. These segmented bars can be disassembled and packed in a compact, space-efficient manner while still providing effective dust blocking when assembled, thus resolving the contradiction between dust blocking functionality and packaging volume efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional arcuate curved sheet mudguards are used, then dust blocking coverage is improved, but transportation cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust coverageVSAvoidtransportation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the mudguard into multiple straight bars that can be disassembled and compactly packed, the invention enables more units to be transported per shipment, thereby improving transportation efficiency and reducing costs while maintaining adequate dust coverage through proper arrangement of the blocking bars

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If rack and mudguard are packaged separately, then assembly flexibility is improved, but packaging volume efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly flexibilityVSAvoidpackaging volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The rack is integrally provided on one of the blocking bars, merging two previously separate components into one. This integration allows both the mudguard and rack to be packed together in a more space-efficient manner while still enabling flexible assembly when needed, thus resolving the contradiction between assembly flexibility and packaging volume efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention provides a multi-section mudguard structure, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of blocking bars, one of which is integrally provided with a rack; and a connector for providing detachable connection between the plurality of blocking bars. Thus, it can be understood that the mudguard of the present invention is assembled from a plurality of blocking bars by a connector, and can be disassembled for packaging during transportation. Compared to traditional mudguards, the arrangement angle during packaging is more flexible, effectively saving space in volume occupancy.
