Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the push-up exercise device has a fixed grip position, then the structure is simple and stable, but the adaptability for different muscle groups and training intensities is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability for different muscle groupsVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The grab rail is designed with adjustable height capability, transforming from a static fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable one. The mounting slots and positioning pieces enable the grab rail to be repositioned vertically along the base, allowing adaptation to different user heights and training requirements while maintaining structural simplicity through standardized adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the positional parameter of the grab rail by introducing multiple mounting slots at different heights. This allows the height parameter of the exercise device to be modified according to different training needs and user preferences, thereby improving adaptability without significantly complicating the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the grip position is fixed, then the device is easy to manufacture and operate, but the ability to train different muscle groups and achieve body shaping is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining customizationVSAvoidadjustment convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting mechanism is segmented into discrete components: mounting slots positioned at different heights on the base, and corresponding positioning pieces on the grab rail. This segmentation allows for easy adjustment by simply detaching and reattaching the positioning piece to different slots, making the device both adaptable and easy to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the grab rail height is adjustable, then user customization for different muscle groups is enabled, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustment capabilityVSAvoidmounting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustment mechanism is designed to be user-operable without requiring tools or complex procedures. The positioning pieces can be easily detached and repositioned by users themselves, allowing them to serve their own adjustment needs. This self-service capability minimizes the need for complex mounting systems while achieving the desired height adjustability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A push-up exercise device with height adjustment includes two bases and a grab rail mounted to and located between the two bases. Each base is provided with a mounting hole at a center of the base and a positioning piece in the mounting hole. A plurality of mounting slots with different lengths are disposed inside a mounting rod of the grab rail, extending from an open end of the mounting rod and corresponding to the positioning piece. The positioning pieces are configured to be aligned with and mounted into different lengths of the mounting slots to adjust a height of the grab rail of the push-up exercise device and in order to train different muscle groups and further shape a body of a user and improve the fitness of the user.
