Standing board and child carrier
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing standing boards for child carriers have fixed lengths, which do not accommodate children of varying sizes effectively, leading to inefficiencies in space usage and parental mobility.
Innovation Solution
A standing board with an adjustable bracket that allows the first support board to shift position and the second support board to be retracted or expanded, forming different platforms to suit children of different sizes, and includes a retaining mechanism to maintain the relative position of the boards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the standing board uses a fixed-length bracket, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot accommodate children of varying sizes effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is designed with an adjustable length mechanism, transforming from a fixed static structure to a dynamic one that can change its dimensions. The telescopic design allows the bracket to extend or retract based on the child's size requirements, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is divided into multiple telescopic sections that can slide relative to each other. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each section, enabling the bracket to achieve different lengths while maintaining structural integrity, thus providing size adaptability without excessive complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the bracket length is made adjustable to accommodate different children, then adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic bracket employs a nested structure where one bracket section is inserted inside another, similar to nested dolls. This nesting approach allows multiple length configurations within a compact form factor, providing adjustability while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable bracket serves multiple functions: it can be extended for taller children, retracted for shorter children, and potentially stored in a compact position when not in use. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by providing universal adaptability across different usage scenarios.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the standing board platform is expanded to fit larger children, then versatility improves, but parental mobility is impacted
Solution Approach 1:
The standing board platform is designed with dynamic size adjustment capability through the telescopic bracket. The platform can be extended to accommodate larger children or reduced to a compact size for easier parental mobility, allowing optimization of platform length based on real-time needs rather than being fixed at maximum size.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform size is adjusted locally at the bracket connection points rather than uniformly across the entire structure. This allows the platform to be extended only as much as needed for the child's size, maintaining minimal necessary length for parental mobility while providing adequate support surface area for larger children.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a standing board and a child carrier. The standing board is applicable to the child carrier, and includes: a bracket having a front end configured to be connected to a frame of the child carrier; and a first support board supported by the bracket. A length of the bracket is adjustable such that a position of the first support board in a front-rear direction is adjustable.
