Sliding Luggage Loading Structure With Adjustable Passenger-Side Partition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle designs face challenges in securely loading and storing luggage, particularly in passenger vehicles, where luggage can collide with passengers or become damaged due to lack of proper securing mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A luggage loading device with a multistage structure and adjustable partitions that can be selectively withdrawn from a driver's seat partition, allowing for division of the loading area and easy loading, featuring guide rails, latches, and a control panel for sliding and securing the main body unit, and auxiliary body unit for additional loading capacity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If luggage is stored in the passenger seat to improve accessibility and loading convenience, then the loading accessibility is improved, but the risk of luggage colliding with passengers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The passenger seat area is segmented into a boarding space and a storage space by the partition plate. The partition plate creates a physical separation that prevents luggage from invading the boarding space while still allowing luggage to be stored in the passenger seat area, thus resolving the contradiction between loading accessibility and collision risk.
Solution Approach 2:
The partition plate acts as an intermediary element between the luggage and the passenger boarding space. It provides a barrier that prevents direct contact between luggage and passengers, eliminating the collision risk while maintaining the convenience of storing luggage in the passenger seat area.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a partition plate is installed to prevent luggage from invading boarding space, then passenger safety is improved, but the storage capacity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The partition plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to be adjusted between different positions. This enables the storage capacity to be dynamically adjusted based on loading needs while maintaining passenger safety when the plate is in the blocking position.
Solution Approach 2:
The partition plate serves multiple functions: it acts as a safety barrier to prevent luggage from invading the boarding space, and simultaneously serves as a storage divider to maximize storage capacity. The plate can be positioned to create different storage configurations while maintaining safety.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the partition plate is made movable to adjust storage capacity, then the adaptability is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The partition plate incorporates a self-latching mechanism that automatically locks the plate in position when moved. This self-service feature allows the plate to maintain its position without requiring additional active control systems, reducing the overall complexity while maintaining adjustability.

AI summary
A luggage loading device for vehicles includes a main body unit configured such that a loading area is capable of being divided into a plurality of sub-loading areas configured to load luggage therein, and the main body unit is configured to selectively slide along a movement path in a vehicle. The loading area is formed by guide frames provided in forward and rearward directions and side walls provided in leftward and rightward directions.
