Solution Overview

Problem

Existing elastic pads are non-detachable, occupy large spaces during storage, are inconvenient to transport, and cannot be easily moved to desired locations, leading to poor comfort and stability issues.

Innovation Solution

A storage case with an upper and lower case body that can be opened and closed via a lock structure, allowing disassembled elastic pad parts to be stored and easily transported to desired locations, reducing storage space occupation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If elastic pads are made integral and non-detachable, then structural stability is improved, but storage space occupation increases and portability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidstorage space occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic pad is divided into multiple detachable components including a bottom layer, spring layer, sponge overlay, side coverings, and top covering. These segmented parts can be stored separately in the storage case, reducing overall storage space occupation while maintaining structural stability when assembled for use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If elastic pads are made integral and non-detachable, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but ease of storage and transportation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidease of storage and transportation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic pad components are designed as separate but easily connectable parts with connection structures that simplify assembly during manufacturing while enabling easy disassembly for storage and transportation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Connection structures serve as intermediaries between the various elastic pad components, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly operations while maintaining structural integrity during use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If elastic pads are made integral, then structural completeness is improved, but adaptability to different locations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural completenessVSAvoidadaptability to different locations
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable design allows the elastic pad to be disassembled into transportable components that can be carried to different locations and reassembled to restore structural completeness and functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The elastic pad transitions between static assembled state (providing structural completeness for use) and dynamic disassembled state (enabling portability and adaptability to different locations)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
