Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing infant swimming rings pose safety hazards due to potential neck injury, tracheal compression, buoyancy imbalance, and difficulty in securely fixing the infant, leading to prolonged and complicated adjustment processes for shoulder and crotch straps, causing emotional distress.
Innovation Solution
A lying ring design featuring a main body with a chest supporting cushion, integrated shoulder and crotch connecting straps, and adjustable connecting pieces, such as buckles or velcro, allowing simultaneous adjustment of shoulder and crotch strap lengths for quick and secure fitting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If shoulder straps and crotch connecting strap are adjusted individually, then adjustment precision is improved, but device complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the adjustment mechanisms of the shoulder straps and crotch connecting strap into a single integrated system. The connecting piece includes a first adjusting component that simultaneously controls the length of both shoulder straps and a second adjusting component that controls the crotch connecting strap, allowing coordinated adjustment of all straps through a unified mechanism rather than separate adjustments.
2Measurement precision
If shoulder straps and crotch connecting strap are adjusted individually, then adjustment precision is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates preliminary action by providing pre-set adjustable length ranges for the shoulder straps and crotch connecting strap. The adjusting components allow users to quickly select from predetermined length options without requiring complex manual measurements or adjustments, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining adequate precision for infant fitting.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two shoulder straps are worn separately, then adaptability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the two shoulder straps and crotch connecting strap into an integrated assembly that is worn as a single unit. The connecting piece serves as a common attachment point that secures both shoulder straps and the crotch connecting strap simultaneously, simplifying the wearing process while maintaining the adaptability of having adjustable straps for different infant sizes.

AI summary
The utility model relates to the field of articles for swimming, and relates to a lying ring for infants, comprising a main body; a bottom surface of the main body is provided with a chest supporting cushion, and the inner side of the main body is provided with a first waist protecting cushion and a second waist protecting cushion. The lying ring further comprises a first shoulder strap and a second shoulder strap; one end of the first shoulder strap and one end of the second shoulder strap extend to a back surface of the chest supporting cushion and are merged to form a crotch connecting strap; and the two shoulder straps are connected into a whole or integrated in one piece with the crotch connecting strap, so that the two shoulder straps are on the same connecting piece as two waist protecting cushions and the crotch connecting strap. The length of the crotch connecting strap and the shoulder straps can be adjusted at the same time.
