Vehicle Wheel Rim Attachment With Adjustable Fastening for Flat Tires
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle wheel attachment solutions are inadequate for enabling safe and efficient driving with a flat tire or on icy/snowy conditions, as they lack adaptability and secure fastening mechanisms for varying rim diameters and harsh road surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle wheel attachment system featuring a circular or annular base body with a fastening device that includes releasable fasteners, adjustable to fit different rim diameters, and a coupling mechanism for uniform movement, along with hook sections and elastic contact surfaces for secure engagement and shock absorption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing attachment solutions are used, then basic fastening function is provided, but adaptability to varying rim diameters and harsh road surfaces is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device incorporates movable fastening means that can be displaced radially relative to the base body, allowing dynamic adjustment to different rim diameters. The coupling mechanism coordinates the movement of multiple fastening means simultaneously, enabling the attachment to adapt to various wheel sizes while maintaining secure fastening through coordinated action of all fastening elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment design provides universal applicability across different rim diameters through the adjustable fastening device. The same attachment can be used on various vehicle wheels by simply adjusting the radial position of the fastening means, eliminating the need for multiple specialized attachments for different wheel sizes.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If existing attachment solutions are used, then basic fastening is achieved, but shock absorption on harsh road surfaces is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment incorporates elastic contact surfaces that provide shock absorption before the vehicle encounters harsh road surfaces. These elastic surfaces are pre-positioned to contact the road, absorbing impacts and vibrations from icy or snowy conditions, thereby protecting the vehicle and providing a smoother ride while maintaining ease of attachment and removal.
3Reliability
If a secure fastening mechanism is implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device combines multiple functions into a single integrated structure. The movable fastening means, coupling mechanism, and elastic contact surfaces are merged into one cohesive device that provides both secure fastening and shock absorption. This integration reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall attachment process while maintaining high reliability.
