Snowboard Fixing Frame with Rotating Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional snowboard fixing frames are inadequate in terms of anti-theft security and have cumbersome operation processes, making snowboards susceptible to theft and inconvenient to access.
Innovation Solution
A snowboard fixing frame with a rotatable rod system, a restricting member, and a locking mechanism that includes a base, core member, locking member, and elastic member, allowing for secure clamping and easy installation/uninstallation of the snowboard, while providing a burglarproof solution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional fixing frame is used, then the snowboard can be secured to the vehicle, but the anti-theft protection is insufficient and the operation process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The locking member is designed to rotate between a first position (locked state) and a second position (unlocked state), transforming the static locking mechanism into a dynamic one that can easily transition between states while maintaining security
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic member automatically biases the locking member toward the locked position, and the restricting member's geometry automatically engages with the locking member's restricting portions, eliminating the need for additional locking actions or complex操作流程
2Reliability
If a secure locking mechanism is implemented, then anti-theft security is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism integrates multiple functions into a single compact assembly: the locking member combines rotation capability with restricting portion engagement, the elastic member provides both biasing force and resetting function, and the base houses all components in a unified structure
Solution Approach 2:
The locking member is disposed within the base and can rotate inside it, while the restricting member passes through the base's through hole. The components are nested within each other to minimize space occupation while maintaining full functionality
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The frame effectively secures the snowboard with a combination of rotatable rods and a locking mechanism, ensuring it is both convenient to use and resistant to theft, allowing for easy access and secure storage.
Implementation Method 1
the elastic member being abutted between the locking member and the base to bias the locking member toward the first position

AI summary
A snowboard fixing frame includes a frame body, a fixing assembly, an restricting member and a locking mechanism. The fixing assembly is disposed on the frame body and includes a first rod and a second rod for clamping a snowboard. The restricting member is disposed on the first rod. The restricting member has a first restricting portion. The locking mechanism includes a base, a core member, a locking member and an elastic member. The base is disposed on the second rod and within a first hole. The core member is rotatable with the locking member.
