Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vertical parallel rhythm platforms are single-function and can only achieve linear motion in limited directions, failing to meet the diverse movement needs of users.

Innovation Solution

A multifunctional rhythm platform that combines horizontal and vertical motions through a base, rhythm platform, symmetrical mounting plates, motors, rotating shafts, and transmission mechanisms, allowing for simultaneous horizontal and vertical movements via rotating wheels and eccentric wheel assemblies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single-direction vertical rhythm platform is used, then the device structure is simple, but the motion directions are limited and cannot meet diverse user needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion directionsVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into two independent motor systems: a first motor system with a first rotating wheel for vertical oscillation, and a second motor system with a second rotating wheel for horizontal oscillation. Each system can operate independently or simultaneously, enabling multiple motion directions while maintaining modular simplicity in each subsystem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rhythm platform is designed to perform multiple functions by integrating both vertical and horizontal oscillation capabilities through two separate motor-driven rotating wheels, allowing the same platform to provide diverse exercise modes (vertical shaking, horizontal shaking, and combined motions) without requiring multiple separate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If only vertical linear motion is provided, then the mechanism is simple, but user exercise variety is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise varietyVSAvoidtransmission mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission mechanism is segmented into two independent sets: a first transmission mechanism connecting the first motor to the first rotating wheel for vertical motion, and a second transmission mechanism connecting the second motor to the second rotating wheel for horizontal motion. This segmentation allows each mechanism to remain relatively simple while the combination provides exercise variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges two separate oscillation mechanisms (vertical and horizontal) into a single integrated rhythm platform system, where both mechanisms work simultaneously or independently to provide combined motions, thereby enhancing exercise variety without requiring completely separate exercise equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
