Utveckling av elsparkcykelhållare till bil

Abstract

The content of this report deals with product development of an electric scooter holder. The main purpose of the project was to develop a holder that was compatible with the majority of electric scooters on the market. But also, capable of preventing dirt and water from ending up on the interior of the vehicle. Through several different product development methods, such as morphological matrices, Pugh, Kesselring and elimination matrices, a final concept was achieved. The project was carried out for Conmore ingenjörsbyrå AB and the background to the project was that the client wanted a smart way to transport electric scooters. The report therefore includes everything from market research to a finished final concept. One of the big challenges with the project was to produce all the data needed to make the holder according to the right dimensions so that it was compatible with the majority of electric scooters on the market today. There were also difficulties in collecting data on dimensions regarding both the rear seat and the trunk space in cars, since some car companies would not share this information. Six different concepts with several different structures and ISOFIX setups were created during the concept generation process, all of which were modeled in the CAD program Catia V5. After the concept selection method had been carried out, only one concept remained, which also became a mockup. The final concept was further developed with the feedback that emerged through the assembly of the mockup.
