Designing a Safety Device for Vehicle Lowering Temperature Based on TRIZ Su-Field Analysis
There have been many reports from around the world of people dying inside overheated, airtight vehicles. If the inside temperature could have been lowered in time, some of the tragedies could almost certainly have been avoided. In this study, a new feasible problem-solving process based on a TRIZ Su-Field analysis model is constructed. There are two substances. Those trapped in the vehicle represent an objective substance termed S2 and the airtight vehicle represents a tool substance termed S1. A thermal field, the fatal inside high temperature, is termed T1. S1 is harmful to S2. Therefore, if a opposite thermal field, termed T2, is added, the inside temperature affecting S1 and S2 is lowered, and any fatalities from overheating, T1, are avoided. T2 is induced by sensor S3. S2 induces sensor S3 to turn on the safety device S4 and thus lower the inside temperature in time. A set of innovative safety device designs for vehicles that are going through a systematic application process is proposed with patents and awards for them listed.
