Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicular trunk designs face challenges in efficiently utilizing space, particularly in non-openable front trunks, which are inconvenient for loading and unloading heavy or bulky items, and in openable trunks, where articles can move and generate noise, necessitating additional storage solutions.

Innovation Solution

A vehicular trunk reception structure with a lifting device and partition system that allows for flexible space division, conversion into a table or chair, and includes extendable plates and nets for efficient article handling and storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the front trunk is made non-openable to prevent article movement and noise, then storage stability is improved, but ease of loading and unloading heavy or bulky items deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage stabilityVSAvoidease of loading and unloading
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The front trunk is designed with a movable partition wall that can be dynamically adjusted between different positions. When loading or unloading items, the partition can be moved to create an open passage. During normal storage, the partition is positioned to close the trunk, preventing article movement and noise. This dynamic reconfiguration resolves the contradiction between storage stability and ease of operation.

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the front trunk is made openable to facilitate loading and unloading items, then ease of operation is improved, but article movement and noise generation occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of loading and unloadingVSAvoidstorage stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The movable partition wall allows the trunk to transition between open and closed states dynamically. During loading/unloading operations, the partition is repositioned to facilitate access. Once items are secured, the partition returns to its closed position, stabilizing the storage environment and preventing article movement and noise.
