Side Object Holder Mounting for Infant Carrier Rotational Joints
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Infant and child carriers lack an object-holding function, making it difficult for users to place personal items such as mobile phones and water cups securely during use.
Innovation Solution
A side object-holding device is integrated into the carrier, featuring an object holder with a mounting assembly that allows detachable mounting on the carrier's rotational joint, providing a cavity for item storage and impact resistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an object holder is added to the carrier, then the functionality for storing personal items is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The object holder is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides storage for personal items, acts as an impact-absorbing element during carrier movement, and integrates with the rotational joint structure through the mounting assembly. This multi-functionality approach adds the required object-holding capability while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity by making the added component serve several purposes simultaneously
2Reliability
If the object holder is made impact-resistant, then the protection of stored items is improved, but the weight of the object holder increases
Solution Approach 1:
The object holder incorporates a cushioning layer that is pre-positioned to absorb impact forces before they reach the stored items. This cushioning mechanism provides the necessary impact resistance and protection for stored objects without requiring the entire object holder structure to be made from heavy-duty impact-resistant materials, thereby controlling the weight increase
3Ease of operation
If the object holder is detachably mounted, then the ease of installation and removal is improved, but the reliability of the mounting connection decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate components: a mounting assembly on the object holder and a corresponding mounting structure on the carrier body. This segmentation enables easy detachable mounting while maintaining reliability through precise geometric fitting elements including positioning protrusions and recesses that ensure accurate alignment and secure connection when mounted
4Adaptability or versatility
If the object holder is positioned on the rotational joint outer side, then the adaptability to carrier movement is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is integrated with the object holder as a unified component, and the mounting structure is incorporated into the existing carrier body framework. This merging approach allows the object holder to be positioned on the rotational joint outer side to adapt to carrier movement while avoiding significant increases in overall device complexity by utilizing existing structural elements
