Recently, the owner of a Great Wall gun vehicle was unfortunately stuck in his neck while using an electric tent on the vehicle, which attracted widespread attention. According to related reports, this is a double-decker electric tent newly developed by Akinochi Company, which can be lifted and lowered by remote control.
But during the tent lifting process, the owner of the car entered the tent and had an accident. The reason for this is mainly related to the moving crossbar inside the tent.
The structure of this double-decker tent is a double cross-shear cross arm on both sides, and the top of the tent is raised by reducing the angle of the cross arm. The moving black crossbar inside the car is connected to the external cross arm and can be moved back and forth during the lifting process.
It is presumed that the crossbar was located on the other side of the upper and lower passages before the tent was fully raised, and then gradually moved above the passages. If the passage partition is open at this time, the crossbar may be caught between the partition and the human body during the movement, forming a clamp, which may lead to accidents.
This accident first reflects the safety design flaws of the electric tent product itself. The lifting process should avoid driving the internal parts of the car to produce a large movement, otherwise it is likely to be stuck in the human body. At the same time, the operation instructions should also clearly indicate that do not enter the tent during the lifting period, and add safety warning devices, such as automatic emergency stop switches.
In addition, improper operation by the owner is also one of the causes of accidents. It is basic safety common sense that the electric equipment can neither approach nor enter its working range when it is in motion.
This incident is heartbreaking, but it should also be a wake-up call for other car owners. Whether it is an automobile manufacturer or a supplier of modified parts, it is necessary to improve the safety performance and humanized design of products to ensure the safety of users. As consumers, we should also establish safety awareness and never ignore the potential dangers of machinery and equipment.
Here's a simple sketch illustrating the possible process of an accident caused by a tent structure and a moving crossbar:
When the double-decker tent is fully raised, there is a connecting passage between the upper and lower levels. The channel divider can be opened. The outer cross arm drives the inner crossbar back and forth during the contraction process.
The crossbar is moved from the side of the channel to the top of the channel. If the passage partition is opened at this time, the crossbar may move to grip the human body in the passage.
This accident is a wake-up call for us. It is hoped that automobile manufacturers and modification companies can strengthen the safety design of products and prevent such tragedies from occurring; At the same time, the majority of car owners should also improve the safety awareness of mechanical operation and beware of similar accidents. We will continue to monitor the progress of this matter, and also call on the relevant authorities to put forward higher requirements and standards for the safety performance of similar products to protect the rights and interests of consumers.
In response to this accident, relevant enterprises and regulatory authorities should take further measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
The first is to strengthen product safety design. Automobile and modification parts companies should take safety as the top priority of product research and development, and each structural component and moving parts should consider possible potential safety hazards, and eliminate potential safety hazards through optimized design.
Sensors such as infrared thermal imaging can be added to automatically pause operation when a human body is detected approaching a dangerous part. At the same time, both the operating manual and the product body need to add clear safety warnings.
The second is to improve safety education and operation training. Companies need to train their sales staff and users on product safety to ensure they understand the risks involved in component movement and the correct way to do it. Car owners must also carefully study the instructions for use when getting started with new products, and do not cross the safety red line without authorization.
The third is to establish strict product testing standards. Relevant regulatory authorities need to put forward strict safety testing standards for automotive modification accessories to ensure that each product has undergone full safety verification before being marketed, and there are no design defects or production quality problems.
Fourth, establish a traceability mechanism for accident responsibility. In the event of a similar accident, it is necessary to quickly carry out an accident investigation to find out the cause of the accident, determine the responsibility of the manufacturer and the regulatory authority, as well as the unsafe operation behavior of the consumer himself, and give corresponding penalties. This can lead to a focus on product safety for all parties.
Fifth, strengthen supervision by public opinion. The media and the public are paying close attention to similar incidents, putting pressure on companies and regulators to take the initiative to improve. At the same time, it can also help improve the safety awareness of the public and make everyone more cautious in the face of machinery and equipment.
We should be saddened by this accident, but we must not allow such a tragedy to continue to happen. This requires the joint efforts of government departments, enterprises and consumers, and we will definitely reduce or even eliminate similar incidents and protect people's lives. Let's join hands and work hard to build a safer consumer environment!
