Transport Container Lateral Wall Data Display Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing transport containers lack effective control over data display on their lateral walls, particularly in unsuitable traffic situations, which can distract other road users and are subject to regulatory requirements to suppress such displays during travel.
Innovation Solution
A transport container equipped with a measuring device to detect the open position of the lateral wall and a release device to enable data display only when the wall is fully open, using an electronic control unit to manage the display device's activation based on the wall's position, ensuring data is only displayed when the container is in an open state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display device is activated during travel with the lateral wall in closed position, then data can be displayed on the lateral wall, but it causes distraction to other road users and violates regulatory requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the lateral wall's open position using the measuring device before allowing data display to be activated. The control unit is programmed to check whether the lateral wall is in the open position state, and only then permits the display device to display data, thereby preventing distraction during travel when the wall is closed
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring device continuously monitors the position of the lateral wall and provides feedback signals to the control unit. The control unit processes this feedback to determine whether the current position state allows for data display, dynamically controlling the display device's activation state based on real-time position feedback, thus preventing harmful distraction while maintaining display capability when appropriate
2Productivity
If the display device is always active regardless of lateral wall position, then data display is maximally available, but it cannot comply with traffic safety regulations during travel
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a static display activation state to a dynamic one where the display device's activation status changes based on the lateral wall's position. The measuring device detects position changes, and the control unit dynamically adjusts the display device's operational state accordingly, enabling compliance with traffic regulations while maximizing display availability when safe
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameter of the display device (activation state) based on the parameter change of the lateral wall position. When the lateral wall moves from closed to open position, the display device's activation parameter changes from blocked to enabled, ensuring regulatory compliance while maintaining display functionality
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the measuring device and release device are added to control display activation, then traffic safety and regulatory compliance are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit serves multiple functions: it receives and processes signals from the measuring device, determines the lateral wall's position state, controls the activation of the display device, and ensures compliance with traffic regulations. By making the control unit multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate dedicated control components, thereby mitigating the increase in device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring device acts as an intermediary between the lateral wall's physical position and the display device's activation state. It detects the position and translates it into electrical signals that the control unit can process, serving as a mediator that enables safe display control without requiring complex direct mechanical linkages between the lateral wall and display mechanism
