Solution Overview

Problem

Inflatable paddle boards lack real-time air pressure monitoring, making it difficult for users to detect leaks or excessive pressure, which can lead to safety hazards during use, especially during long-distance paddling.

Innovation Solution

Integration of an air pressure detection device and display device within the inflatable paddle board, allowing users to monitor pressure conditions in real-time through a mechanical or wireless connection, including a casing with through holes and a ventilation pipe for gas sensing, and a display screen or mobile device for easy access to pressure information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If an air pressure detection device and display device are integrated into the inflatable paddle board, then users can monitor pressure conditions in real-time, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety monitoring capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the air pressure detection device and display device into an integrated system within the inflatable paddle board. The detection device includes a sensing element, ventilation pipe, and sealing structure, while the display device provides real-time pressure feedback to users. This merging of functions enables continuous safety monitoring without requiring separate external devices, directly resolving the contradiction by achieving reliable real-time monitoring through integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If a pressure meter is used during inflation, then air pressure control is convenient, but users cannot learn about the pressure at any time during use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepressure control convenienceVSAvoidpressure information availability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous air pressure monitoring through the integrated detection and display system. The detection device continuously senses pressure changes via the ventilation pipe and sensing element, while the display device continuously shows pressure information to users throughout the entire usage period. This continuous monitoring eliminates the information gap that exists when using traditional pressure meters only during inflation, allowing users to track pressure status at any moment during paddling activities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Measurement precision

If the casing is embedded in the inflatable paddle board body with sealing connection, then the detection accuracy is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair pressure detection accuracyVSAvoidassembly difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the air pressure detection system into distinct modular components: a casing with embedded sensing element, a separate ventilation pipe, and a display device. The casing is designed as a separate component that can be embedded in the inflatable board body with sealing connection, while other components are independently manufactured and then assembled. This segmentation allows for precise manufacturing of each component with appropriate tolerances for accurate pressure detection, while also simplifying the overall manufacturing process through modular assembly rather than requiring complex integrated fabrication.
