Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional inflatable pools lack adequate support for users sitting on the pool bottom, and existing massage pools fail to provide comprehensive massage coverage, particularly for users on reclining chairs.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating an inflatable stool with a connecting portion that attaches to the pool bottom, and a seat with a bubble-generating sheet for enhanced support and massage functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If users sit directly on the pool bottom, then the pool structure remains simple, but user comfort deteriorates due to insufficient support

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepool structureVSAvoiduser comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

An inflatable stool is introduced as an intermediary element between the user and the pool bottom. The stool provides adequate support and comfort for users while maintaining relative simplicity in the overall pool structure through detachable connection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If massage nozzles are provided only on the pool bottom or side walls, then the device complexity is reduced, but massage coverage is insufficient for users on reclining chairs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemassage system structureVSAvoidmassage coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The reclining chair serves as an intermediary structure that carries massage nozzles directly to the user's body. This enables comprehensive massage coverage including back, waist, and sole areas without requiring complex integrated massage systems in the pool structure itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Massage functionality is transferred from the pool bottom and side walls to the reclining chair, adding a new dimension for massage delivery. This allows the massage system to adapt to different user positions and body areas effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

An inflatable pool having a built-in seat is provided. The inflatable pool may include: a pool body comprising a bottom wall and a side wall, together defining a water-holding space; and an inflatable stool disposed in a water-holding space. The inflatable stool may include a top sheet, a side enclosure sheet, and an inflation chamber defined by the top sheet and the side enclosure sheet. The inflatable stool may be fixedly connected to the bottom wall or may be connected to the bottom wall in a detachable manner.
