Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing car game simulators do not enable quick, simple, and stable connection of a standard office chair or racing chair with the station, lack wireless adjustment of settings in multiple directions and dimensions, and do not allow for automatic storage and recall of preferred settings.
Innovation Solution
An automated car game simulator with a steering wheel, pedal, and chair fixing bases, connected by a frame, allowing wireless adjustment and control of settings through cylinders and a control system, enabling easy attachment of standard office or racing chairs, and allowing settings to be stored and automatically recalled.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a standard office chair or racing chair is connected to the simulator, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for multiple connection mechanisms and adjustment systems
Solution Approach 1:
The simulator frame is designed with a universal connection system that can accommodate both standard office chairs with 5-arm bases and racing chairs. The connection mechanism uses standardized mounting points and adjustable fixtures that work with multiple chair types, eliminating the need for separate connection systems for different chair varieties.
Solution Approach 2:
The chair connection system is divided into modular components including separate mounting bases, adjustable arms, and detachable connection points. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to different chair configurations while maintaining ease of connection and disconnection.
2Ease of operation
If wireless adjustment of settings in multiple directions is implemented, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for multiple cylinders and control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment with an automated wireless control system. Electric cylinders are controlled through wireless communication (radio frequency or Bluetooth) from a remote control or mobile device, eliminating the need for manual operation of multiple adjustment mechanisms while maintaining the physical structure needed for multi-directional positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The system includes automatic positioning capabilities where the simulator can autonomously adjust to pre-saved configurations. The control system stores multiple position settings and can automatically recall them, reducing the need for continuous manual intervention in adjusting the multiple cylinders and mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adjustment mechanisms are added to enable settings control, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The simulator employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms that can be reconfigured based on user needs. The electric cylinders and positioning systems are designed to be controllable through a unified wireless interface, allowing the system to adapt between different driving positions and configurations without requiring separate control systems for each adjustment type.
4Ease of operation
If automatic storage and recall of preferred settings is implemented, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for memory and control systems
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is equipped with memory functionality that automatically stores preferred settings configurations in advance. These pre-saved configurations can be instantly recalled through wireless control, eliminating the need for manual re-adjustment of multiple cylinders and mechanisms while the control system manages the storage and retrieval operations.
