Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If conventional teaching aids are made of wood with fixed components, then structural strength is improved, but adaptability deteriorates as they cannot be disassembled or modified
Solution Approach 1:
The teaching aid is divided into multiple independent modules including base modules with connection structures and functional modules with different terrain features. These modules can be connected through connection portions to form various configurations, enabling both structural integrity and adaptability for different training needs.
2Stability of the object's composition
If teaching aids are made as complete fixed structures, then stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates as they require large storage space and cannot be easily reconfigured
Solution Approach 1:
The teaching aid system is segmented into standardized modules with connection portions that enable stable assembly while facilitating easy disassembly and reconfiguration. The modular design allows storage in compact forms and rapid setup for different training scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The base modules are designed with universal connection structures that can accommodate multiple functional modules, allowing the same base to serve different training purposes by simply changing the functional modules attached.
3Strength
If teaching aids use thick wood bottoms, then strength is improved, but harmful factors increase due to displacement from impact forces
Solution Approach 1:
The teaching aid employs composite construction combining rigid components for structural strength with softer, impact-absorbing materials at contact surfaces. This reduces the displacement caused by impact forces while maintaining overall structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The design incorporates impact-absorbing elements and cushioning structures at potential impact points to beforehand mitigate the effects of forces applied by sports equipment, preventing displacement and reducing harmful effects before they occur.
4Ease of manufacture
If wood material is used for teaching aids, then ease of manufacture is improved, but reliability deteriorates as wood can be easily damaged or cracked by external impact
Solution Approach 1:
The teaching aid transitions from pure wood construction to composite materials including plastics, polymers, or other impact-resistant materials that combine ease of manufacturing with superior durability and resistance to cracking from external impacts.

AI summary
A modular teaching aid for physical fitness training includes: a base plate whose top side is provided with a functional area; and two assembly portions each provided at one or the other of the front and rear ends of the base plate. The functional area has a functional portion protruding from the top side of the base plate. By varying the functional area of the base plate, the teaching aid can be used to switch different terrain rapidly, without having to replace the entire teaching aid. The teaching aid allows easy assembly and switching of components, and the assembly portions at the two ends of the base plate enable extension by connecting with additional components so as to increase the variability of the teaching aid and the range of content that can be taught with it.
