Solution Overview

Problem

Existing exercise bikes cannot be easily adjusted to accommodate users of different body shapes or habits, leading to suboptimal posture and inefficient space usage due to fixed resistance unit positions.

Innovation Solution

An exercise bike design that includes a base unit, a stand unit with pivotally connected risers allowing for multiple angle adjustments, enabling the resistance units to be positioned optimally for various user postures and allowing for compact folding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the stand unit is fixed at a fixed angle, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability for different users and usage patterns deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidusage pattern adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The stand unit is designed with adjustable angle mechanisms allowing it to transition between fixed and variable configurations. The lower riser can rotate relative to the base unit within a first angle range, and the upper riser can rotate relative to the lower riser within a second angle range, enabling the structure to adapt to different user needs while maintaining stability at each positioned angle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the resistance units are positioned for optimal user comfort, then the ease of operation is improved, but the space occupation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser comfortVSAvoidspace occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The resistance units are arranged in a vertical stacking configuration along the height direction, utilizing the vertical dimension to position multiple resistance units at different heights. This allows optimal positioning for different user postures while minimizing the horizontal footprint and overall space occupation of the exercise bike.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
