Wheel Locking Assembly With Combination Core Against Theft
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing security devices for vehicle wheels are vulnerable to theft due to the need for multiple tools and support points that can be easily manipulated by thieves, leading to a lack of comprehensive integrity and increased tooling requirements for adjustment and maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A safety device for vehicle rolling means featuring a fixing unit with a bolt or nut configuration and a synchronized closing and opening mechanism, which includes a metallic piece with a cylindrical shape and a combination core with latches and biasing means, providing enhanced security and user-friendliness by allowing easy manipulation and preventing unauthorized removal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional security devices are used for vehicle wheels, then basic locking function is provided, but the devices are vulnerable to theft due to multiple support points and tool requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The security device is divided into two main segments: a fixing unit (bolt or nut) and a closing/opening mechanism. This segmentation allows the locking function to be separated from the security function, enabling the fixing unit to provide basic attachment while the closing mechanism provides enhanced security through a combination lock system with latches and biasing means, thereby reducing vulnerability to simple manipulation attempts.
Solution Approach 2:
The closing and opening mechanism is nested within the fixing unit structure. The main casing contains the combination core with latches and biasing means, creating a compact integrated assembly. This nesting reduces the number of separate support points exposed on the wheel, as the entire mechanism fits within the wheel's existing bolt/nut receptacle, thereby reducing theft vulnerability.
2Ease of operation
If existing security devices are implemented, then wheel protection is provided, but adjustment and maintenance require multiple tools increasing operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The closing and opening mechanism serves multiple functions: it provides security through combination locking, enables opening/closing operations, and integrates the tool interface within a single unified structure. The mechanism can be operated with a single tool type that interfaces with the combination core, eliminating the need for multiple specialized tools for different functions, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The biasing means automatically return the latches to the locked position after opening, and the combination core self-aligns within the main casing during operation. This self-service functionality reduces the precision and skill required from the user, making the device more user-friendly while maintaining secure operation through automatic resetting of the locking mechanism.
