Solution Overview

Problem

Existing portable slides are cumbersome to transport, mount, and disassemble, and they have poor stability, which can lead to rollover or toppling.

Innovation Solution

A lightweight anti-rollover slide with a detachable ladder portion and slide portion, featuring stabilizing brackets that rotate for unfolding or folding, providing lateral support and preventing rollover.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If portable slides use lightweight materials for easy transport, then ease of operation is improved, but stability deteriorates causing rollover risk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of transportVSAvoidstability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The stabilizing brackets are designed to rotate between folded and unfolded positions. During transport, they fold alongside the slide for compactness. During use, they rotate outward to provide stability, dynamically adapting to different operational states

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The stabilizing brackets are positioned inside the hollow cylindrical ladder portion during transport, similar to nested dolls. This allows the brackets to be stored within the slide structure itself, reducing transport volume while maintaining stability function when deployed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of operation

If portable slides are designed to be foldable and detachable, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of assemblyVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The slide is divided into separate modules: ladder portion, slide portion, and stabilizing brackets. Each module can be independently manufactured and assembled, simplifying the assembly process while maintaining overall functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hollow cylindrical ladder portion serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, acts as a storage space for the stabilizing brackets during transport, and serves as the mounting structure for the slide portion. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed

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

AI summary

The present invention pertains to the technical field of children's amusement facilities and discloses a lightweight anti-rollover slide. The slide includes a ladder portion and a slide portion. The ladder portion is detachably connected to the slide portion, a bottom of the ladder portion is provided with stabilizing brackets, and the stabilizing brackets rotate with respect to the ladder portion, thus unfolding or folding the stabilizing brackets. The ladder portion and the slide portion in this application are detachably connected. During transport, the ladder portion is detached from the slide portion, thus improving the convenience. During use after assembly, the stabilizing brackets at the bottom of the ladder portion can provide lateral support, preventing rollover on the slide. During disassembly for transport, the stabilizing brackets can be folded, to save the transport space.
