Sun-Shading Laptop Bag Structure for Stable Storage and Cooling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sunshades or shading-enabled carrying cases for laptops and tablets suffer from unreliable laptop storage, lack of ventilation channels for heat dissipation, and cumbersome folding mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A laptop bag with a sun-shading function featuring a flexible first package and a second package connected by sides to form a handle section, with rigid support plates and a top plate that can rotate, and a storage pocket secured by an elastic strap, along with adjustable wing plates and Velcro connections for stable storage and heat dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a traditional sunshade hood is attached to the display, then shading and privacy protection are improved, but the device cannot be used to store a laptop and side panels interfere with keyboard operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the sunshade function with a laptop bag by integrating a shield structure into the bag body. The shield can be deployed to block sunlight from reaching the laptop screen, while the bag simultaneously provides laptop storage functionality. This combination resolves the contradiction by unifying two previously separate functions (sunshade and laptop carrier) into a single integrated product.
Solution Approach 2:
The bag is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as a laptop storage container, provides sunshade protection through its shield mechanism, and maintains portability. The universal design allows the same product to address both the shading need and the laptop storage need without requiring separate devices.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a shield structure is added to block sunlight, then shading functionality is improved, but the bag lacks a dedicated padded compartment for securing the laptop
Solution Approach 1:
The bag is segmented into distinct functional zones: a dedicated padded compartment for laptop storage and a separate shield mechanism for sun protection. The padded compartment is specifically designed to secure the laptop, while the shield structure independently provides sunlight blocking. This segmentation allows each component to optimize its specific function without compromising the other.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If side panels are made rigid for structural support, then shading effectiveness is improved, but the bending sections lack transition segments making collapse and closure cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The side panels incorporate flexible bending sections with transition segments that allow the structure to dynamically change from a rigid shaded position to a collapsed storage position. The transition segments act as hinges or joints that enable smooth folding, making the shield easy to deploy for sun protection and easy to collapse when not in use.
4Strength
If sealed compartments are formed by side panels, then structural integrity is improved, but heat dissipation for the laptop becomes inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The bag design applies different structural qualities to different regions: the side panels are made rigid to provide structural integrity and shielding, while specific localized areas include ventilation channels or open spaces to facilitate heat dissipation. This local differentiation allows the bag to maintain strength where needed while enabling thermal management in critical areas.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a laptop bag with a sun-shading function, comprising a first package, a second package, and sides. A support plate is arranged on the package to support a top plate. The support plate and top plate are composed of a plurality of layers of different materials, facilitating support and connection. The position of the top plate is adjustable relative to the support plate to regulate the amount of light entering the display, adapting to users of different heights and varying external lighting conditions, thereby enhancing the user experience.
