Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lacing boards lack versatility in training difficulty adjustment, leading to muscle strain and increased equipment costs due to the need for multiple boards to accommodate different user balance abilities.

Innovation Solution

An adjustable lacing board with detachable connectors and support legs, allowing for interchangeable quadrilateral and arched plates, enabling customizable training angles and difficulties without additional equipment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single lacing board with fixed angle is used, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability is insufficient for users with different balance abilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining difficulty adjustmentVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lacing board incorporates an adjustable support leg with variable inclination angles, transforming a static fixed-structure into a dynamic adjustable one. The support leg can be positioned at different angles (first inclination angle and second inclination angle) to provide multiple training difficulties, allowing the device to adapt to users with different balance abilities while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the geometric parameter of the support leg inclination angle to achieve different training difficulties. By adjusting the angle between the support leg and the ground (through the first and second inclination angles), the training intensity is varied without requiring multiple separate devices, thus improving adaptability while controlling structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple balance boards are prepared for different training requirements, then the adaptability is improved, but the equipment cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining difficulty coverageVSAvoidnumber of equipment pieces
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The lacing board is designed as a multi-functional device that can perform both lacing exercises and balance training exercises. The adjustable support leg structure allows the same device to provide different training difficulties by changing the inclination angle, eliminating the need for multiple separate balance boards for different user levels, thus reducing equipment quantity while maintaining comprehensive adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If the pedal angle is fixed for lacing exercise, then the lacing training effectiveness is improved, but the support legs and ankles are prone to discomfort and muscle strain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining effectivenessVSAvoidmuscle strain
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention introduces dynamic angle adjustment capability to the originally fixed pedal structure. The support leg can be adjusted between different inclination angles, allowing the training intensity and angle to be varied during exercise. This dynamic adjustment prevents muscle strain by enabling users to modify the exercise parameters, while still maintaining effective lacing training through the primary inclination angle configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
