Rotatable Support Element Anti-Rollover Structure for Baby Carrycots
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional carrycots are difficult to manipulate outdoors and pose a safety threat due to rollover risks, necessitating a simple and effective anti-rollover structure.
Innovation Solution
An anti-rollover structure with fixing and support elements that protrude from the cot body under pressure, using a position-restoring element to return to the initial position when pressure is removed, ensuring stability and ease of use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional anti-rollover structures are added to carrycots, then rollover prevention capability is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The support elements automatically protrude from the cot body when the cot is placed on a support surface, utilizing the weight of the cot itself to activate the anti-rollover function without requiring manual intervention or complex mechanical structures
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical anti-rollover structures with a simplified system using rotatably disposed support elements that respond to gravitational force and weight distribution, eliminating the need for intricate linkages or adjustable mechanisms
2Reliability
If conventional anti-rollover structures are added to carrycots, then rollover prevention capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support elements automatically protrude from the cot body when the cot is placed on a support surface, utilizing the weight of the cot itself to activate the anti-rollover function without requiring manual intervention or complex mechanical structures
Solution Approach 2:
The support elements are designed to be rotatably disposed and dynamically respond to the weight distribution of the cot, automatically adjusting their position based on whether the cot is being carried or placed on a surface
3Reliability
If support elements are rotatably disposed to protrude under pressure, then anti-rollover effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the essential anti-rollover function from complex mechanical structures, using simple rotatably disposed support elements that protrude when needed and retract when not needed, eliminating unnecessary mechanical complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The support elements are designed to be rotatably disposed and dynamically respond to the weight distribution of the cot, automatically adjusting their position based on whether the cot is being carried or placed on a surface
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The anti-rollover structure prevents rollovers effectively, is structurally simple, and enhances the ease of use of carrycots, making them safe and reliable for outdoor use.
Implementation Method 1
the support element is subjected to pressure from the cot body, such that the support element protrudes from the cot body
Implementation Method 2
the support element can restore its initial position under its own weight

AI summary
An anti-rollover structure, applicable to the cot body, includes at least two fixing elements and at least two support elements. The fixing elements are adapted to be mounted on an outer bottom surface of the cot body. The support elements are rotatably disposed at the fixing elements respectively. When the support elements are on a support surface, the support elements are subjected to pressure from the cot body and thereby rotated to protrude protruded from the cot body. A carrying device and a baby carrier are further introduced. The carrying device and the baby carrier each have the anti-rollover structure.
