Solution Overview
Problem
Existing swimming training machines are of a fixed design and cannot adapt to swimming pools with different depths and widths, limiting their versatility and stability.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional hanger with a U-shaped structure and adjustable cross bar, featuring clamps and L-shaped fixing brackets, allows for quick assembly and adjustment to fit various swimming pool types, ensuring stability and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed design is used for swimming training machines, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot adapt to swimming pools with different depths and widths
Solution Approach 1:
The hanger adopts an adjustable structure where the vertical distance between the hanger and the crossbar can be modified by changing the position of the limiting hole through which the adjusting screw passes. This allows the hanger to adapt to different pool depths while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The hanger is divided into separate components including the U-shaped hanger body, the crossbar, and the fixing component with clamp and L-shaped bracket. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each part to fit different pool configurations while keeping the overall structure relatively simple.
2Ease of operation
If a fixed design is used for swimming training machines, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the device cannot be quickly assembled and disassembled for migration and storage
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing component is pre-assembled with the clamp and L-shaped bracket connected together, and the adjusting screw is pre-positioned with its limiting hole. This preliminary assembly simplifies the final installation process where the user only needs to attach the pre-assembled fixing component to the pool and adjust the hanger position.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjusting screw mechanism allows for quick adjustment of the hanger position by simply rotating the screw to move the limiting hole to a different position, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly without complex manufacturing processes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed design is used for swimming training machines, then the structure is stable, but it cannot accommodate different pool environments
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable fixing component with L-shaped bracket and clamp provides stable fixation to the pool structure, while the ability to adjust the limiting hole position and crossbar distance allows the same stable structure to adapt to different pool environments including aboveground and in-ground pools.
Solution Approach 2:
The hanger is designed as a universal fixture that can be installed on different types of pools (aboveground, in-ground, various depths and widths) through adjustable parameters, while maintaining reliable stable fixation through the clamp and L-shaped bracket mechanism.

AI summary
A multifunctional hanger of an adjustable swimming training machine is provided, which relates to the technical field of a fixing apparatus of a swimming pool training device. The multifunctional hanger includes a U-shaped hanger, an adjustable cross bar and at least two fixing components. A plurality of limiting holes are arranged at equal intervals along an axial direction of the vertical part to be fixed with the swimming training machine through locking screws; the bent part is integrally connected to two vertical parts; the adjustable cross bar is transversely connected to the bent part. Through a modular adjustable structure, this solution solves an adaptation problem of different swimming pool environments, and achieves rapid installation and precise adjustment at the same time.
