Popis: Gullwing vehicles, also known as "mobile stores", although belong to transportation but also belong to product marketing industry. In this paper, we focus on innovative design of opening/closing gull-wing frame system to reduce the manufacturing costs and enhance mechanical precision. By using the morphological chart analysis, many new gull-wing frames are generated. One of these designs is “Automatic opening/closing gull-wing frame with four electric power systems”. Based on the design requirements and constraints of opening/closing gull-wing frame, the driving mechanism and power system are synthesized. Finally, the prototype “automatic opening/closing gull-wing frame with four electric power systems” is carried out.
