Vehicle Interior Module Layout for Stable Lateral Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle interior structures with detachable modules face challenges in preventing positional deviation during vehicle travel and package loading, as the current attachment methods do not adequately address inertial forces and package orientation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle interior structure featuring a module with a removal direction orthogonal to the vehicle front-rear direction and in-plane with the floor or side parts, utilizing a fastener system with magnetic attachment and detachable components, allowing for secure attachment and easy detachment without tools, and enabling modules to be stacked and arranged in a free layout.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the module is attached with a removal direction parallel to the vehicle front-rear direction, then the attachment structure is simple, but positional deviation occurs during vehicle travel due to inertial forces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the removal direction from the vehicle front-rear direction to a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction (lateral or vertical direction). This dimensional change in the attachment orientation allows the module to resist inertial forces during vehicle travel more effectively, as the attachment force now acts perpendicular to the direction of acceleration, preventing positional deviation while maintaining structural simplicity
2Ease of operation
If the module is attached with a removal direction parallel to the vehicle front-rear direction, then the attachment method is simple, but positional deviation occurs during package loading
Solution Approach 1:
By orienting the removal direction orthogonally to the vehicle front-rear direction, the attachment structure resists lateral forces applied during package loading. This dimensional reorientation ensures that the attachment force counteracts the lateral pushing forces when packages are loaded or removed, maintaining positional stability while preserving ease of attachment and detachment operations
3Shape
If the module height does not match the step part height, then the floor surface is uneven, but creating a flat surface requires additional structural complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies that the module height is designed to match the step part height, creating a flat surface between the module top and the higher floor level. This parameter matching approach achieves surface flatness without requiring additional leveling structures or complex adjustments, as the module itself serves as the leveling element

AI summary
A vehicle interior structure, includes: a first fixing part provided, at a fixed interval, at at least one of a side part extending in a vehicle front-rear direction of a vehicle cabin or a floor part extending in the vehicle front-rear direction of the vehicle cabin; and a module that is attachable and detachable relative to the first fixing part, the module having a removal direction that is orthogonal to the vehicle front-rear direction, and in-plane with the floor part or the side part.
