Punching Bag Support Device with Nested Connector and Detachable Segments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional punching bags have a stability issue due to the simple embedding connection between the upper bag body and the lower counterweight base, leading to longer pillars that complicate packaging, increase logistics costs, and occupy more space.
Innovation Solution
A supporting device with detachable parts, comprising a hollow tubular pillar, a tubular connector, a flange body, a rubber shock absorber, and a support tray, which are designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, reducing the overall package size and facilitating transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the rod-shaped pillar is made longer to ensure connection stability, then the stability of the connection is improved, but the package volume increases and logistics costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is inserted into the hollow tubular pillar, forming a nested structure where one component fits inside another. This nesting approach allows the components to be compactly arranged, reducing the overall package volume while maintaining the necessary connection length for stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting device is divided into detachable segments including the connector, hollow tubular pillar, flange body, and support tray. These segmented components can be separately packaged and assembled, allowing for more efficient space utilization during transportation while ensuring stable connections when assembled.
2Reliability
If the rod-shaped pillar is made longer to ensure connection stability, then the stability of the connection is improved, but the logistics costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The nested arrangement of the connector within the hollow tubular pillar reduces the overall dimensions of the packaged product, allowing for more efficient space utilization in transportation. This directly reduces logistics costs by minimizing the volume that needs to be transported while maintaining connection stability through proper component design.
Solution Approach 2:
By segmenting the supporting device into detachable components that can be efficiently packaged, the total transportation volume is reduced. This segmentation strategy lowers logistics costs by optimizing the use of transportation space without compromising the stability of the assembled connection.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the periphery of the support tray is bent upwards to prevent injury, then the safety is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The periphery of the support tray is bent upwards by 90 degrees to form a smooth contact surface with curved geometry. This curvature eliminates sharp edges that could cause injury, while the simple 90-degree bend maintains relatively low structural complexity compared to more elaborate protective designs.
