Solution Overview
Problem
Current infant carriers lack effective vibration dampening mechanisms that can be adjusted to accommodate varying road conditions, resulting in inadequate comfort and safety for infants.
Innovation Solution
A vibration dampening device with adjustable components, including a first and second vibration dampening part and an actuator, is integrated between the carrier frame and wheel, allowing the actuator to switch between releasing and enabling positions to optimize the vibration dampening effect based on road conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple vibration dampening structure is used in the infant carrier, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to various road conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a movable actuator that can switch between releasing and enabling positions, allowing the vibration dampening structure to dynamically adjust its configuration. This dynamic adjustment enables the system to adapt to various road conditions by changing the action range of the second vibration dampening part, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and high adaptability.
2Device complexity
If the vibration dampening structure is fixed and cannot be adjusted, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ability to meet vibration dampening requirements on different roads deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a movable actuator with switching capability between releasing and enabling positions, transforming the fixed vibration dampening structure into a dynamic one. This allows the system to reliably meet vibration dampening requirements on different roads by adjusting the action range of the second vibration dampening part according to actual road conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If an adjustable vibration dampening device with multiple positions is implemented, then the adaptability to different road conditions is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a movable actuator that can switch between releasing and enabling positions, creating a dynamic adjustment mechanism. This allows the system to achieve high adaptability to different road conditions through a relatively simple two-position switching mechanism, balancing adaptability improvement with acceptable device complexity.

AI summary
An infant carrier includes a carrier frame, a wheel, and a vibration dampening device disposed therebetween. The vibration dampening device includes a first vibration dampening part, a second vibration dampening part, and an actuator. The first and the second vibration dampening parts are disposed between the carrier frame and the wheel. The actuator is movably disposed on the carrier frame or the wheel. The releasing position has a releasing position and an enabling position for adjusting an action range of the second vibration dampening part moving to the actuator. Therefore, the action range can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the actuator for making an vibration dampening effect performed by the first vibration dampening part or by the first vibration dampening part together with the second vibration dampening part, so that the infant carrier can adapt to different road conditions by adjusting the vibration dampening device through the actuator.
