Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional foldable baby sleeping baskets have complex structures, cumbersome folding and unfolding operations, and occupy a large space when folded, making them inconvenient for carrying and storage.
Innovation Solution
A baby sleeping basket with a two-section upper and lower surrounding frame assembly that can be folded upward, featuring V-shaped supporting frames and locking mechanisms at rotating connections, allowing one-handed one-click unlocking for easy folding and unfolding, and a compact design when folded.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the baby sleeping basket is designed to be foldable for convenient carrying and transportation, then the portability is improved, but the structure becomes complex and the folding operations become cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The sleeping basket frame is divided into multiple independent sections that can fold relative to each other. The frame includes a head end section, foot end section, and at least one middle section with folding connections, allowing each segment to move independently during folding operations while maintaining overall structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
Folding connections serve as intermediary elements between frame sections, enabling smooth relative movement while maintaining structural coherence. These connections include rotating connections and folding mechanisms that mediate the transition between expanded and folded states without requiring complex disassembly.
2Ease of operation
If conventional foldable baby sleeping baskets are designed, then the portability is improved, but the folding and unfolding operations are cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The folding mechanism is designed to automatically coordinate the movement of different frame sections through linkage connections. When one section is folded, the V-shaped supporting frames and rotating connections automatically drive other sections to fold in sequence, reducing the need for manual manipulation of multiple independent mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple folding functions are merged into a coordinated system where the head end section, foot end section, and middle sections fold together through interconnected mechanisms. The V-shaped supporting frames and rotating connections combine multiple folding actions into a unified motion sequence, simplifying user operation.
3Device complexity
If most existing baby sleeping baskets are folded up and down only, then the folding mechanism is simple, but the length cannot be shortened and the folded basket still occupies relatively large space
Solution Approach 1:
The folding mechanism extends beyond simple vertical up-down folding to include longitudinal compression. The middle section with rotating connections enables the frame to fold in multiple dimensions, allowing the basket to be compressed both vertically and lengthwise, significantly reducing the occupied space when folded.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame incorporates dynamic rotating connections and V-shaped supporting frames that allow flexible adjustment of folding angles and configurations. This dynamic structure enables the basket to transition between different folding states, optimizing the compactness in both vertical and longitudinal directions based on storage requirements.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a baby sleeping basket, wherein a sleeping basket frame includes a two-section upper surrounding frame assembly which is able to be folded upward, a two-section lower surrounding frame assembly which is located below the upper surrounding frame assembly and is able to be folded upward, two-section V-shaped supporting frame assemblies which are rotatingly installed between the upper surrounding frame assembly and the lower surrounding frame assembly, and are able to be folded and drive the lower surrounding frame assembly to fold upward or unfold as the upper surrounding frame assembly is folded upward or unfolded, and mounting bases installed on the lower surrounding frame assembly for detachable assembly with other baby equipment; and locking mechanisms are arranged at folding joints of the upper surrounding frame assembly to lock the upper surrounding frame assembly in the unfolded state.
