Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional strollers require significant effort to move, especially over long distances or with heavy loads, and existing foldable electric baby carriages struggle to maintain a compact configuration when not in use, and baby strollers with electric moving devices cannot easily fold their driving apparatuses.

Innovation Solution

An electric stroller design featuring a rotatably folding electric board that can be manually operated when power is depleted, with a configuration that includes a stroller body, saddle part, and electric board connected via a rotational member and fixation unit, allowing for easy folding and storage, and a handle system for simplified operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If an electric board is provided in the stroller to enable automatic driving, then the ease of operation is improved, but the volume and complexity of the device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidvolume
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The electric board is designed to be rotatable relative to the stroller body, allowing it to switch between an extended operational position and a folded storage position. This dynamic configuration enables the electric board to provide full functionality during use while minimizing volume during storage or transport, directly resolving the contradiction between operational ease and volume reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Volume of moving object

If the electric board is designed to be foldable to reduce volume, then the ease of storage and transport is improved, but the complexity of the device structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovevolumeVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stroller is divided into distinct modular components: the stroller body and the electric board are separate but connectable units. The electric board itself is segmented into a board body and rotational mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the electric board can be folded for compact storage while maintaining structural integrity and functionality when deployed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A rotational member connects the electric board to the stroller body, enabling the board to rotate between extended and folded positions. This dynamic mechanism provides a simple yet effective solution for volume reduction without requiring complex disassembly or multiple connection points, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If the saddle part is made detachable for easy storage, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability and safety of the connection may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The saddle part is designed as a detachable module that can be separated from the stroller body for independent storage or replacement. This segmentation improves ease of operation by allowing users to remove the saddle for cleaning, storage, or replacement without affecting the entire stroller structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection structure between the saddle part and stroller body is designed with preliminary safety features - the connection points and locking mechanisms are pre-configured to ensure secure attachment before use, and the detachable design includes built-in safety checks or indicators to confirm proper connection, thereby maintaining reliability while enabling easy detachment when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
