Solution Overview

Problem

Existing boxing bags are inconvenient to carry due to their solid internal filling, such as sand, and lack flexibility in training methods, offering limited interaction and resistance.

Innovation Solution

A boxing training inflation device with a rotating component connecting an inflation column and a strike column, featuring a fixed disc and a rotating disc, allowing the strike column to rotate and simulate realistic boxing scenarios, enhanced by a stable base and adjustable filling with air and liquid for improved resistance and durability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If sand is used as internal filling for boxing bags, then stability and resistance are improved, but portability and flexibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to strikeVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transitioning the filling material from solid sand to inflatable gas/liquid chambers. The base structure contains inflatable chambers that can be filled with air or water to adjust resistance levels. This allows the training device to provide sand-like stability when inflated while remaining portable and flexible when deflated, directly resolving the contradiction between resistance and portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If boxing bags are integrally formed, then structural simplicity is improved, but training diversity and interaction deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural simplicityVSAvoidtraining diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the strike column into multiple independent impact arms that can rotate and move independently. Instead of a single solid boxing bag, the device features multiple strike columns with impact arms that can be positioned and rotated to simulate different opponents and training scenarios. This segmentation enables diverse training interactions while maintaining relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by introducing rotational movement to the strike columns. The strike columns can rotate around the inflation column, and impact arms can pivot independently. This dynamic capability allows trainers to simulate various boxing scenarios by adjusting the position and rotation of different strike columns, greatly enhancing training diversity without significantly complicating the basic structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If strike columns are fixed, then structural stability is improved, but reaction training effectiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidreaction training effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the strike columns rotatable rather than completely fixed. The strike columns are mounted to rotate around the central inflation column, providing movement and unpredictability that enhances reaction training. At the same time, the rotation is constrained within a controlled range, maintaining sufficient structural stability. This dynamic yet controlled movement directly addresses the contradiction between stability and training effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a rotating mechanism as an intermediary between the fixed base structure and the movable impact arms. This intermediary allows the strike columns to rotate smoothly while maintaining connection to the stable base, enabling reaction training without compromising structural integrity. The rotational joint acts as a mediator that provides necessary movement while preserving overall system stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a boxing training inflation device, the device is provided with a rotating component that connects an inflation column and a strike column, the inflation column is fixed through a base body. The strike column is provided with an impact arm, which is arranged in a row and distributed on left and right sides of the strike column, a trainer uses his fists and feet to strike the impact arm. When subjected to an external force, the impact arm will form a linkage with the strike column; and thus, a rotating disc is driven to rotate on a fixed disc by the strike column. Compared to traditional immovable sandbags, the boxing training inflation device can more effectively train trainer' reaction ability, the training content is more diverse, and it has the advantages of flexible use, strong antagonism, stable structure, and strong resistance to strike.
