Pool having built-in seat
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional inflatable pools lack adequate support for users due to hard pool bottoms and limited massage functionality, as existing massage nozzles only target the back, waist, and soles, failing to provide complete relaxation.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an inflatable stool with a built-in inflation chamber and connecting portion attached to the pool bottom, along with a bubble-generating sheet on the seat to create a massage effect, enhancing user comfort and relaxation by providing support and targeted massage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the pool bottom is made hard to provide structural support, then the structural strength is improved, but the user comfort deteriorates because users cannot sit comfortably on the hard bottom
Solution Approach 1:
The pool system is divided into two functional parts: a hard pool bottom for structural support and a separate inflatable seat for user comfort. The inflatable seat is detachably connected to the pool bottom, allowing each component to fulfill its specific function without compromise.
Solution Approach 2:
The inflatable seat acts as an intermediary element between the user and the hard pool bottom. It provides a soft, cushioned surface for users to sit on while being supported by the hard pool bottom structure, thus resolving the contradiction between structural strength and user comfort.
2Device complexity
If massage nozzles are provided only on the inner wall or bottom of the pool body, then the device complexity is reduced, but the massage functionality deteriorates because users cannot completely relax
Solution Approach 1:
The massage system is segmented into two parts: pool body nozzles and seat nozzles. The seat nozzles are specifically positioned to massage areas not reachable by pool body nozzles, such as the front of the body, arms, and legs, thereby expanding massage coverage without significantly increasing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The inflatable seat serves multiple functions: it provides user comfort through cushioning and enhances massage functionality through integrated nozzles. This multi-functionality allows the system to achieve comprehensive massage coverage while maintaining relatively simple device structure.
3Device complexity
If bubble-generating belts are provided only at the bottom of the pool close to the walls, then the device complexity is reduced, but the massage effect deteriorates because users on reclining chairs cannot experience the massage effect
Solution Approach 1:
The bubble generation system is segmented into pool body belts and seat-integrated nozzles. The seat nozzles are positioned to deliver bubbles directly to users on reclining chairs, ensuring reliable massage effect delivery to previously unreachable areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The inflatable seat with integrated nozzles serves itself by generating bubbles that directly contact the user's body parts not accessible to pool body nozzles. This self-service capability ensures that users on reclining chairs can experience the massage effect without requiring additional complex external systems.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The inflatable stool provides improved support and a comprehensive massage experience by distributing pressure evenly and generating bubbles for a more comfortable and relaxing experience.
Implementation Method 1
an inflation chamber defined by the top sheet and the side enclosure sheet
Implementation Method 2
a bubble-generating sheet on the seat to create a massage effect

AI summary
An inflatable pool having a built-in seat is provided. The inflatable pool may include: a pool body comprising a bottom wall and a side wall, together defining a water-holding space; and a seat disposed in a water-holding space. The seat may include a top sheet, a side enclosure sheet, and an inflation chamber defined by the top sheet and the side enclosure sheet. The seat may be inflatable and may be fixedly connected to the bottom wall or may be connected to the bottom wall in a detachable manner.
