Describe in detail
Fig. 1 illustrates the example system 100 that can realize all embodiment.System 100 for example comprises container 110, it can be the container of any kind, box for example, the container of shipping goods on vehicle, ship, aircraft, train or other vehicle, transport or store the container of small-sized or large item, container or any other container of transportation breakables.Container 110 can be made by any suitable material, for example cardboard, plastics, steel etc., and these only are some example of material, yet can use the material of any kind.
For example, one or more openable dampening assemblies can respond that protection article or passenger avoids damaging or the incident of injury or tampering action and have an effect (for example expanding).In addition, for example one or more openable dampening assemblies can be had an effect based on one or more detected values of the model of wanting protected one or more objects, openable dampening assembly and environment.In addition; for example one or more openable dampening assemblies can or respond a series of incidents based on a series of incidents and can be unlocked thereby the protection of collaborative (coordinated) is provided for the one or more objects in the vehicle or passenger, make it escape injury, damage or collide, quicken or the influence of other incident.The protection of one or more objects can be based on the injury function to the subclass of this class object or actual or prediction damage partly, for example maxim, weighted value, accumulated value or other this class function.The injury function can comprise environment (for example pedestrian in the vehicle collision or other vehicle, near the high value object the container collision) nominally and to the damage of one or more shielded objects.These only are not limited to this for some examples and disclosure.Extra details and exemplary embodiment are described out herein.
Openable dampening assembly 114,116 etc. or be in swelling state, openable dampening assembly 116 as shown, or be in deflated state, openable dampening assembly 114 as shown.Perhaps openable dampening assembly also can be that demi-inflation or part are dwindled.
In an exemplary embodiment, the openable dampening assembly of some types can be in swelling state (for example being inflated) in the finite time section.For example, one or more openable dampening assemblies can respond an incident have an effect (for example expand or dwindle).In an exemplary embodiment, the subclass of openable dampening assembly can respond an incident and have an effect.In a further exemplary embodiment, one or more openable dampening assemblies can expand before transportation and keep swelling state in the long time section or in the transportation.In an exemplary embodiment, compare deflated state, thereby openable dampening assembly can provide bigger damping support (for example because the material that bigger deformable volume or vibration-absorptive material or absorption are impacted) for an object when being in swelling state.This is an exemplary embodiment only, and the disclosure is not limited to this.
Openable one or more openable dampening assembly comprises making openable dampening assembly begin effect or begin to move.Effect comprises for example makes openable dampening assembly be expanded to collision status (assembly is expanded or size increases) from deflated state, or makes openable dampening assembly be contracted to deflated state (assembly is dwindled or size reduces or shrinks) from swelling state.Effect comprises for example to be made the inflation of air bag or other entity or bleeds.Effect comprises the shape that for example changes or control openable dampening assembly.Effect also comprises part action or part behavior, for example partly expands or partly dwindles openable dampening assembly.
Openable dampening assembly 114,116 etc. can comprise any type of expandable component.For example, openable dampening assembly 114,116 etc. comprises the inflatable air bag that expands based on the bag that is similar to the air bag that uses in automobile and other vehicle is applied forced air.Openable dampening assembly 114,116 replacedly comprises fluid inflatable bag or the entity that expands because of fluid.For example, but openable dampening assembly 114,116 etc. can comprise the fluid opening assembly, and fluid can be derived from one or more fluid accumulation devices there, for example by the valve effect.But but the fluid accumulation device is for example by making fluid inflow or effluent fluid opening assembly make fluid opening assembly have an effect (for example expand and/or dwindle/shrink).For example, openable dampening assembly 114,116 etc. can comprise magnetic field effect assembly, and magnetic field sources is from one or more electric energy, for example via cond, inducer, Meissner oscillator or other device there.Electric energy for example makes magnetic field effect assembly have an effect (for example expand and/or dwindle/shrink) by making magnetic field force in the fluid opening assembly.Openable dampening assembly 114,116 etc. for example replacedly comprises by applying the expand inflatable vibration-absorptive material of (or dwindling) of chemical power, gas energy, hydraulic pressure energy, electric energy, antagonistic force or other energy or material.Electric energy for example expands (or dwindling) inflatable vibration-absorptive material by electrical motor, linear electromagnetic electrical motor, piezoelectric driving systen or other device or keeps a shape.Antagonistic force for example makes inflatable vibration-absorptive material expansion (or dwindling) or keeps a shape by micropulse jet engine, magnetic repulsion coil or other device of rocket engine, chopping.Inflatable vibration-absorptive material can apply damping force by pressure, electricity/magnetic field, inertia, compressive strain, tension force or shearing force or their combination.Inflatable vibration-absorptive material can apply damping force and/or dissipation interaction energy by crushing (for example expanded material or housing), fracture (for example fiber or line), crooked (for example pillar or plate) or other mechanism.
In an exemplary embodiment; openable dampening assembly is reusable; wherein dampening assembly is inflatable impacts to absorb; completely or partially dwindle then; and reexpand subsequently providing damping support or object of protection to be subjected to successor or impact, or in another container, provide the damping support.And in a further exemplary embodiment, openable dampening assembly is discardable, and wherein assembly expands or only is used once or only several times.
Can use any amount of openable dampening assembly to provide the damping support as object 112.For example, in one embodiment, can use at least 12 openable dampening assemblies that the damping support of object is provided.This comprises according to different exemplary embodiments provides at least 12,20,50,100 even 500 openable dampening assemblies (or more a plurality of) so that the damping support to be provided.
