Boxing Training Device Adjustable Sway Transport Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional boxing training devices are limited in adjustability, providing only one mode of sway and are hazardous and inconvenient to transport without disassembly.
Innovation Solution
The device incorporates a base, support, and hit portions with a hollow shaft, sliders, and elastic elements, allowing adjustable sway modes and secure transport by fixing the elastic elements, preventing unwanted movement during transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the elastic element is made movable to provide sway adjustment, then the adaptability of the device is improved, but the stability during transport deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device employs a dynamic locking mechanism where sliders can be positioned at different locations along the shaft to adjust sway characteristics during training, but can be locked into a fixed position for stable transport. The elastic element transitions between a constrained state (during transport) and a free state (during training), allowing the system to adapt its stability characteristics based on operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The device changes the physical state of the elastic element from fixed to movable by adjusting the position of sliders along the shaft. By modifying the constraint parameter (slider position), the system can transition between stable transport mode and adjustable training mode, effectively resolving the contradiction between transport stability and sway adaptability.
2Reliability
If the elastic element is fixed to prevent sway, then the transport safety is improved, but the training versatility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the shaft into multiple discrete positions using sliders that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the elastic element to be fixed at specific intervals during transport for safety, while during training, the sliders can be repositioned to create different sway characteristics, thereby maintaining both transport safety and training versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism transitions from a static fixed state during transport to a dynamic adjustable state during training. The sliders can be easily moved between locked positions, allowing the system to maintain high reliability during transport while providing adaptability during training operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the device structure is made complex to enable adjustment, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sliders are nested within the hollow shaft structure, with each slider containing a fixing member that engages with the shaft wall. This nested configuration allows multiple adjustment functions to be integrated within a compact structure, providing adaptable sway modes without significantly increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing members on the sliders automatically engage with corresponding features on the shaft to lock the elastic element in place. This self-locking mechanism eliminates the need for complex external locking devices, achieving adjustable sway modes through a relatively simple self-service structure.

AI summary
The boxing training device of the present invention includes two hollow elastic elements which locate on two different positions. The boxing training device also includes two slidable and rigid sliders. The slider can be moved into the elastic element so that the elastic element can be limited by the slider. As such, the whole device does not sway when transporting without disassembling. Also, said device can provide a variety of way to use.
