Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional treadmills have high manufacturing costs and require large use spaces due to their bulky and complex assembly, which complicates the assembly process and increases the cost.
Innovation Solution
A treadmill with an integrally formed running platform of a grid structure, featuring an I-shaped support design and accommodating grooves for the servo motor and controller, reduces manufacturing costs and simplifies assembly, while providing good force-bearing performance and shock absorption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional running platform is assembled by iron frame and chassis, then structural strength is ensured, but manufacturing cost increases and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple components (iron frame, chassis, and other structural parts) into a single integrated running platform structure. This merging eliminates the need for separate assembly of multiple parts, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining structural strength through the unified design.
2Stability of the object's composition
If traditional running platform uses iron frame and chassis, then structural stability is ensured, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple structural components into a single running platform unit, reducing the total quantity of materials needed and simplifying the manufacturing process. This integration maintains structural stability while lowering manufacturing costs by eliminating separate production and assembly steps.
3Force
If traditional running platform is bulky, then load-bearing capacity is ensured, but use space requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a grid structure that segments the running platform into multiple reinforced sections. This segmentation allows the platform to maintain load-bearing capacity through distributed structural support while reducing the overall bulk and space requirement compared to a solid traditional design.
4Device complexity
If integrally formed running platform with grid structure is used, then assembly complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple components into a single molded structure, which simplifies assembly by eliminating the need to join separate parts. The grid structure is incorporated into the molding process itself, allowing for standardized production that manages manufacturing precision requirements while achieving the benefits of integration.
