Exercise Bicycle with Adjustable Desk Plate for Multi-Height Users
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercise bicycles with desk plates are not adjustable, making them inconvenient for users with different figures, and their packaging is large and difficult to transport.
Innovation Solution
An exercise bicycle with a desk plate that features adjustable height settings for the desk and seat, facilitated by lifting assemblies with locking gas springs and electric linear driving devices, and foldable supporting feet with gravity brake wheels for compact packaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the desk plate height is fixed, then the structure is simple, but it is not adaptable to users with different heights
Solution Approach 1:
The desk plate height is made adjustable through a lifting assembly with locking gas spring and handle mechanism, allowing the structure to adapt to different user heights while maintaining operational simplicity through intuitive handle control
2Adaptability or versatility
If the upright column is extended for taller users, then adaptability improves, but the packaging size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting assembly components including the locking gas spring, sliding part, and handle are nested within the hollow first upright column, allowing the column to extend for height adjustment while maintaining a compact packaging profile when collapsed
3Ease of operation
If the lifting assembly uses only mechanical components, then the structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to manual lifting effort
Solution Approach 1:
A locking gas spring is incorporated into the lifting assembly to provide automatic lifting assistance and holding force, reducing the manual effort required to adjust the desk plate height while maintaining structural simplicity through integration within the upright column
4Volume of stationary object
If the exercise bicycle is tightly packed for transportation, then the volume is reduced, but the difficulty of installation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise bicycle is divided into modular components including the frame with integrated lifting assemblies, detachable supporting feet with gravity brake wheels, and separately packable accessories, allowing compact packaging while enabling straightforward assembly through clear module interfaces
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables ergonomic adjustments for users of varying heights, reduces package size, and simplifies installation and transportation.
Implementation Method 1
The assisting force provided by the locking gas spring of the lifting assembly makes it easier for the user to lift the desk plate
Implementation Method 2
The supporting foot is provided with a gravity brake wheel. Instead of the original foot pad, the gravity brake wheel makes it easier to move the exercise bicycle when it's not in use

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an exercise bicycle with a desk plate, which comprises a frame, a supporting foot, a seat and a desk plate, the frame including a first upright column to support the desk plate and a second upright column to support the seat, wherein a first lifting assembly is provided on the first upright column to connect the desk plate and the first upright column, and enables the adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the desk plate relative to the first upright column. The height of the desk plate can be adjusted by the first lifting assembly to accommodate users with different figures. It's more ergonomic since the height of the upright column supporting the desk plate can be adjusted. When packing, lower the upright column to the minimum can largely reduce the size of the package.
