Fitness Ring Connecting Device for Belt Suspension and Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing flying ring for fitness exercise lacks a component to connect to an external belt, limiting its suspension and usage in various exercise facilities, and it is insufficient for supporting both feet and hands, making it inconvenient for exercise and storage.
Innovation Solution
A flying ring with a connecting device for an external belt and a supporting device with clamping parts on the ring body to support feet or hands, along with an adjusting frame and limiting rod to secure the belt length, allowing the ring to be suspended and used in multiple facilities while being easily stored.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the flying ring uses a simple structure without a connecting device, then it is easy to manufacture and has low device complexity, but it cannot be suspended or connected to external belts, limiting its usability
Solution Approach 1:
The flying ring is divided into separate functional components: the ring body and the connecting device. The connecting device includes an adjusting frame with belt holes and a limiting rod mechanism, which can be detached or adjusted independently from the ring body. This segmentation allows the ring to gain suspension capability while keeping the base structure simple and manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting device is designed with multiple functions: it allows the belt to pass through for suspension, enables length adjustment of the belt via the limiting rod, and provides attachment points for supporting devices. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by adding adaptability without requiring multiple separate components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the flying ring has only one ring body, then it has simple structure and low device complexity, but it is insufficient to meet the requirements for supporting both feet and hands during exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is segmented into a main ring body and detachable supporting devices. The supporting devices can be independently attached to the ring body or belt, allowing users to configure support points according to their exercise needs. This segmentation enables multi-point support without requiring a complex integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting devices are designed to be detachably arranged on the inner ring of the ring body, allowing dynamic reconfiguration. Users can attach, detach, or reposition supporting devices during different exercise routines, transforming the static single-ring structure into a dynamic multi-functional support system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the belt cannot be wound around objects for suspending, then the structure is simple, but it limits exercise locations to particular facilities only
Solution Approach 1:
The belt is designed as a flexible, adjustable component that can be wound around various objects for suspension. The limiting rod mechanism allows dynamic adjustment of belt length and tension, enabling the system to adapt to different suspension points and locations. This transforms the fixed facility-dependent design into a location-flexible system.
Solution Approach 2:
The belt serves multiple functions: it connects the ring bodies, allows suspension from various objects, provides length adjustment, and enables attachment of supporting devices. This universal design resolves the location flexibility issue by making the belt a versatile component that works in diverse exercise environments.
4Reliability
If the supporting plate has no anti-slip part, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it provides insufficient grip for feet or hands during exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-slip parts are applied locally on specific areas of the supporting plate surface rather than the entire structure. This localized treatment provides enhanced grip where needed (contact areas for feet or hands) while keeping the overall structure simple and easy to manufacture. The anti-slip texture or material is concentrated on functional surfaces.
