Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote-controlled toy vehicles have limited playable modes, leading to user disinterest due to lack of variety in play experiences.

Innovation Solution

A transformable toy vehicle design that includes a vehicle body with multiple sections, a rotation driving assembly for transforming between rollable and unfolded states, and a straight-running driving assembly for different playable modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the vehicle body is designed with a fixed single-mode structure, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability or versatility is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveplayable mode varietyVSAvoidvehicle body structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The vehicle body is divided into multiple sections that can rotate relative to each other, allowing the same structure to achieve different configurations (rollable and unfolded states) for different play modes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The vehicle body incorporates rotation driving assemblies that enable dynamic transformation between different states, allowing the structure to adapt its configuration based on the desired play mode

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the vehicle body is transformed into a rollable shape, then the adaptability for new play modes is improved, but the stability during operation may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveplayable mode varietyVSAvoidvehicle body stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The support portion is pre-positioned on the vehicle body to provide automatic stabilization when the vehicle transitions to the unfolded state, ensuring stability is restored before operation begins

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The support portion acts as an intermediary element that facilitates the transition from the rollable state to the unfolded state by providing a stable base when the vehicle topples over, enabling smooth state change

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Provided is a transformable toy including a vehicle body having a lower surface provided with wheels and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface, and a straight-running driving assembly disposed in the vehicle body. The vehicle body includes at least two sections, a rotation driving assembly is disposed between two adjacent sections of the vehicle body and configured to drive the at least two sections of the vehicle body to rotate relative to each other to transform the vehicle body; when the at least two sections of the vehicle body rotate relative to each other into a transformed state, the vehicle body is in a rollable shape; when the at least two sections of the vehicle body rotate relative to each other into an unfolded state, the vehicle body runs under the action of the straight-running driving assembly.
