Fitness Equipment Ring Gravity Body Handle Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current fitness equipment with a ring-shaped gravity body can cause skin injuries due to the handle installation grooves affecting the integrity of the inner surface.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of protective covers and a structural design for the handle's end parts, including a stepped through hole, counter bore, and a butting connection mechanism between protective covers, ensures a smooth connection between the ring-shaped gravity body and the handle, preventing skin injuries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If handle installation grooves are formed on the inner ring surface of the gravity body to enable handle attachment, then the handle can be fixedly connected with the gravity body, but the integrity of the inner surface is affected causing skin injuries to users
Solution Approach 1:
A protective cover is introduced as an intermediary component between the handle installation grooves and the user's skin. The protective cover completely covers the inner ring surface where the grooves are located, thereby maintaining the structural integrity needed for handle attachment while eliminating the harmful exposed surfaces that could cause skin injuries during exercise use
2Object-affected harmful factors
If protective covers are embedded into the inner surface of the ring-shaped gravity body to cover the connecting parts, then the surfaces are rendered smooth preventing skin injuries, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective cover is designed as a thin, flexible component that can be easily embedded into the inner surface of the ring-shaped gravity body. This thin-film approach provides effective coverage and smooth surfaces to prevent skin injuries while adding minimal structural complexity compared to using thick or multi-layer protective structures
