Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electric roller skates lack intelligent control over sliding, making it difficult for beginners to learn and use, and the control mode is not adaptable to changing sliding conditions, resulting in a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

An electric roller skate with a controller system that includes rotation speed detection, idling detection, and load detection devices, allowing for automatic start and stop of the rollers based on sliding speed, idling state, and load conditions, along with a remote control option for manual operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If automatic speed-based control is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The roller skate system automatically detects sliding speed through the rotation speed detection device and autonomously controls the driver to maintain designated speed, eliminating the need for manual operation and making the system serve itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The controller receives rotation speed information from the rotation speed detection device and uses this feedback to automatically adjust and control the driver, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains optimal sliding speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If intelligent control systems are added, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system dynamically adjusts the driver operation based on real-time sliding conditions detected by the rotation speed detection device, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions during skating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The controller integrates multiple functions including speed detection, speed control, and various operation modes (automatic and manual), making a single device capable of performing multiple functions to enhance adaptability

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

3Ease of operation

If automatic start control based on rotation speed is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is pre-configured with a designated speed threshold that automatically triggers the driver to start when the rotation speed detection device detects that the sliding speed has reached this predetermined value, eliminating the need for manual start activation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electric roller skate in the present invention includes a shoe body, a roller frame, a driver, a rotation speed detection device, and a controller. The controller receives rotation speed information of the rotation speed detection device and accordingly controls the driver to start to drive the rollers to rotate. The present invention further provides a control method for the electric roller skate described above. The controller is capable of controlling the driver to start to drive the electric roller skate to slide according to the detected rotation speed information. Through the above arrangement, the solution can help a user to skate in a more labor-saving manner and reduce fatigue of the user. Meanwhile, the driver is started in a mode closer to a conventional sliding mode, is higher in convenience and intelligence, reduces use difficulty and makes user experience better.
