Solution Overview

Problem

Inflatable doll suits are difficult to use in dark environments, leading to safety issues and reduced enjoyment due to obscured visibility of the suit's design.

Innovation Solution

An inflatable suit with a light-emitting component, including a supporting part and a lighting part, is designed to illuminate the surroundings and enhance visibility, featuring an inflatable main body with a head and body part, and a neck connection, equipped with elastic inner sleeves for size adjustment and a charging component for power supply.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional inflatable doll suit is used in dark environments, then the suit provides a fun and exaggerated appearance, but the user cannot see their surroundings leading to safety issues

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidvisibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the inflatable doll suit with a light-emitting component (lamp bulb, supporting part, and lamp cover) to create an integrated costume that provides illumination. The light-emitting component is incorporated into the head part of the suit, allowing the user to see surroundings while wearing the costume, thus resolving the safety issue in dark environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If a traditional inflatable doll suit is used in dark environments, then the suit maintains its exaggerated design, but the user cannot see the suit's design features

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveenjoymentVSAvoidvisibility of suit design
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting component is integrated into the head part of the inflatable suit, combining the costume's exaggerated design with functional illumination. This allows users to see both the suit's design features and their surroundings, enhancing enjoyment while maintaining the costume's aesthetic appeal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If the light-emitting component is added to the inflatable suit, then visibility and safety are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting component is divided into distinct segments: a supporting part (iron wire) that provides structural support, a lamp bulb that generates light, and a lamp cover that protects and directs the light. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall simplicity in the integrated suit design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

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

Enhances safety and enjoyment by providing illumination in low-light conditions, maintaining suit shape, and adding a decorative effect, while ensuring comfort and stability through elastic adjustments and durable materials.

Implementation Method 1

The lighting part is a lamp bulb, and one end of the protective sleeve away from the top end of the head part is equipped with a translucent lamp cover, and the lighting part is positioned inside the lamp cover. The light emitted by the lighting part can penetrate the lamp cover.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight emission: Light Emitting Diode

Implementation Method 2

The inflatable main body is equipped with an elastic inner sleeve. The elastic inner sleeve is connected to the head part. The elastic inner sleeve is configured for adapting to heads of different sizes.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectElasticity: Elasticity

Implementation Method 3

The inflatable main body includes a head part and a body part. The head part is provided with a first inflation cavity and a first opening. The body part is provided with a second inflation cavity. The first inflation cavity is in communication with the second inflation cavity.

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectGas pressure: Pressure Increase

AI summary

An inflatable suit includes an inflatable main body and a light emitting component. The light emitting component includes a supporting part and a lighting part. One end of the supporting part is connected to the inflatable main body, and the lighting part is connected to an opposite end of the supporting part and is suspended on an outer side of the inflatable main body. Through the above structure, the inflatable main body is connected with the supporting part, and the lighting part connected to the supporting part is suspended on the outer side of the inflatable main body under the support of the supporting part, so that when a user puts on the inflatable suit, the lighting part can illuminate the environment around the inflatable suit. In nighttime or low light environments, it is convenient for the user to move safely and also helps others to notice the user.
