Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric scooters are primarily designed for transportation and lack features that facilitate physical exercise or learning, with limitations in automatic reversing, speed variation, and user interaction.
Innovation Solution
The development of an exercise apparatus that converts an electric scooter into a physical exercise tool by incorporating automatic reversing, speed variation, and user interaction features, including a carrying assembly, motor assembly, driven wheel assembly, power supply, and a master control board with modules for motor control, speed adjustment, and user feedback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electric scooter is designed for smoothness and comfortability with manual intervention, then the user experience is improved, but the device cannot perform automatic reversing and speed varying functions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional control paradigm by making the scooter automatically reverse and vary speed without user input, while the user's role shifts to actively adjusting their body to maintain balance. The microprocessor automatically sends reversing signals to the motor driving module, creating automatic round-trip movement that contradicts conventional scooter operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The scooter performs self-service through automatic reversing and speed variation controlled by the microprocessor and motor driving module. The system autonomously executes round-trip movement patterns, eliminating the need for manual direction switching and speed control, thereby achieving automation contrary to traditional design.
2Productivity
If the electric scooter performs automatic round-trip movement with hard reversing, then the exercising effect is improved, but the impact and discomfort to the user increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful impact of hard reversing into a beneficial exercising effect. The sudden directional changes and impacts during automatic round-trip movement are deliberately designed to challenge the user's balance and physical stability, transforming what would normally be uncomfortable jolts into productive exercise that enhances coordination and reflexes.
3Productivity
If the electric scooter is designed for transportation efficiency, then the speed and distance coverage are improved, but the device lacks functions for physical exercise and learning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the scooter into a multi-functional device that serves both transportation and physical exercise purposes. By incorporating automatic round-trip movement, reversible operation, and balance-challenging dynamics, the same basic scooter structure gains exercise and learning capabilities, allowing one device to fulfill multiple roles rather than requiring separate transportation and exercise equipment.
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 apparatus enables users to perform automatic round-trip movements, enhancing physical exercise by improving balance, coordination, relaxation, flexibility, concentration, and contingency, while also providing a convenient, efficient, and relaxing exercise experience.
Implementation Method 1
an assembly of a motor and a bridge, an assembly of a driven wheel and a bridge... the motor driving module switches the motor movement direction to the reverse direction according to the received reversing signal to drive the apparatus to perform automatic round-trip movement

AI summary
An exercise apparatus and a method thereof relate to the technical fields of physical exercise, training instruments, life cultivation and health preservation, leisure and entertainment, teaching appliances, smart home and the like. Through reverse thinking, by changing a shape, a structure, a function, a control method or/and a using method of an electric scooter, the electric scooter is switched to the fields of physical exercise or/and learning and education. By means of technical characteristics in an attempt to avoid by the technical staff, unexpected technical effects are achieved, and a new purpose of the electric scooter is achieved. The exercise apparatus carries a user to perform automatic round-trip movement, the user correspondingly adjusts physical and mental states to prevent from falling and the exercise apparatus is helpful for improving abilities of balancing, coordination, relaxation, flexibility, concentration and contingency of the user.
