Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a traditional iron frame and chassis structure is used for the running platform, then the structural strength and stability are improved, but the manufacturing cost increases and the assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the running platform and support structure into a single integrated component. The running platform is formed as one piece with built-in support portions that extend downward to serve as the chassis, eliminating the need for separate iron frame and chassis assemblies. This integration reduces assembly complexity while maintaining structural strength through the unified design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite material construction for the running platform, combining rigid materials to create a structure that is both strong and cost-effective. The integrated platform uses material composition to achieve the necessary structural strength without requiring expensive traditional iron frame construction, thereby reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining durability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a traditional iron frame and chassis structure is used for the running platform, then the structural stability is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the running platform and support structure into one integrated component, eliminating the need for separate iron frame and chassis assemblies. This merging reduces manufacturing steps and material costs while maintaining structural stability through the unified design that incorporates support portions built into the platform itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material construction to achieve structural stability at lower cost. The running platform is formed from composite materials that provide the necessary strength and stability without requiring expensive traditional iron frame construction, thereby reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining durability.
3Strength
If a traditional iron frame and chassis structure is used for the running platform, then the structural strength is improved, but the use space required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the running platform and support structure into a single integrated component with streamlined design. The support portions are built into the platform structure itself, eliminating the need for separate external support frames. This integration reduces the overall footprint and use space required while maintaining structural strength through the unified design.

AI summary
A running platform of a treadmill and a treadmill are provided. The treadmill includes a roller, a servo motor, a running platform, and a belt wrapped around the roller. The running platform is of an integrally formed structure, an inside of the running platform is of a grid structure, and includes a base portion and a support portion. The belt is wrapped around the base portion, and a movement contact plane is formed on an upper side of the base portion. A transmission shaft of the servo motor is in transmission connection with the roller to drive the roller to rotate, thus driving the belt to move on the movement contact plane.
