Problem
Conventional inflation pump boxes are limited by their reliance on external power wires, making them less portable and inconvenient for use outdoors or in situations where a household power plug is not available.
Innovation Solution
An inflation pump box with a detachable power supply, featuring a battery pack that can be easily installed, replaced, and adjusted, using a snap-in plate and lock mechanism for secure connection, allowing for various voltage options and increased size compatibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If external power wires are used for power supply, then the pump box can be powered when connected to household plugs, but the portability and convenience of use are reduced when outdoor or in locations without power outlets
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply mode is made dynamic and adjustable. The pump box can switch between wired power supply (when outlets are available) and battery power supply (when portability is needed). This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize between convenience and portability based on usage conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The pump box is designed with multi-functional power supply capability, supporting both external power wire connection and detachable battery pack. This universal power supply design enables the device to function in both indoor/outdoor and fixed/mobile scenarios, simultaneously improving convenience and portability.
2Device complexity
If the power supply is fixed and non-detachable, then the structure is simpler, but the ability to replace batteries or adjust power sources is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system is segmented into a detachable battery pack and the pump box body. The battery pack can be independently removed, replaced, or recharged, while the pump box remains functional. This segmentation maintains structural simplicity through modular design while enabling battery replacement and power source adjustment capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply configuration is made dynamic and adjustable. The pump box can switch between wired power supply (when outlets are available) and battery power supply (when portability is needed). This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction by allowing the system to optimize between convenience and portability based on usage conditions.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the battery pack is fixed inside the housing, then the structure is more stable, but the ease of disassembly, replacement, and adjustment is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system is segmented into a detachable battery pack and the pump box body. The battery pack can be independently removed, replaced, or recharged, while the pump box remains functional. This segmentation maintains structural simplicity through modular design while enabling battery replacement and power source adjustment capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The battery pack is extracted from the internal housing and made externally detachable. This extraction allows the battery pack to be easily removed and replaced without disassembling the entire pump box, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining structural stability through the connection interface.
