Rotatable Child Carrier Body Locking Structure for Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing child carriers lack an efficient mechanism for adjusting the angle of the body relative to the base, limiting versatility and convenience for caregivers.
Innovation Solution
An angle adjustment structure comprising a positioning member and a locking member, where the body is rotatably connected to the base, allowing for adjustable angles by locking or unlocking the positioning member with the locking member.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-angle design is used for the child carrier body relative to the base, then the manufacturing complexity is reduced, but the adaptability and versatility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The child carrier body is designed with rotatable connection to the base, transforming from a fixed structure to a dynamic one that can adjust angles. The body can rotate relative to the base and be locked at different angular positions, providing adaptability while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of a rotatable joint mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The angle adjustment function is segmented into discrete components: the rotatable connection between body and base, the positioning member with multiple positioning holes for different angles, and the locking member for securing the selected angle. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component while achieving overall angle adjustability
2Adaptability or versatility
If an angle adjustment mechanism is added to the child carrier, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The angle adjustment mechanism merges multiple functions into integrated components: the positioning member combines positioning holes for angle selection with a structure that guides the locking member; the locking member integrates both the locking function and the operation interface (pulling the belt); the rotatable connection combines the rotation capability with the mounting structure. This merging reduces the total number of separate components while maintaining full angle adjustment functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The locking member serves multiple functions: it locks the body at the selected angle, provides an operational interface for angle adjustment through its movable belt, and guides the positioning member during rotation. The positioning member also serves dual purposes by providing both angle positioning through its holes and structural support for the rotation mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces component count while achieving angle adjustability
