Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional strollers often lack features that enhance child comfort, reduce boredom, and adaptability to different terrains, leading to discomfort and limited use.
Innovation Solution
A stroller design featuring a rotatable frame, integrated canopy with a cooling fan and display device, and interchangeable wheels or skis, along with a storage compartment and communication port, to improve comfort and versatility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional strollers are used, then basic transportation function is provided, but child comfort and entertainment are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into the stroller structure: a cooling fan system is integrated into the canopy to provide airflow for child comfort, a display device is incorporated into the canopy to entertain the child, and a solar panel is integrated to power these electronic components. This merging approach enhances child comfort and entertainment while maintaining a unified stroller design.
Solution Approach 2:
The stroller canopy serves multiple functions: it provides shade coverage, houses a cooling fan for airflow, incorporates a display device for entertainment, and includes a solar panel for power generation. The base also serves dual purposes as both a structural support and a mounting platform for electronic components. This multi-functionality addresses comfort and entertainment needs without requiring separate devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If basic stroller design is used, then simple structure is maintained, but adaptability to different terrains is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements interchangeable wheel systems that can be dynamically changed based on terrain requirements. The base is designed to accommodate different wheel configurations, allowing parents to swap between standard wheels for smooth surfaces and specialized wheels or skis for snow and rough terrain. This dynamic adaptability enables the stroller to handle various environments without requiring a completely different design for each terrain type.
3Duration of action of moving object
If extended stroller use is intended, then power source is needed, but battery weight and charging requirements arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a solar panel integrated into the stroller canopy that generates electrical power from sunlight to charge the battery system. This self-service approach allows the stroller to recharge itself during outdoor use, reducing the need for frequent manual charging and extending operational duration without requiring larger, heavier battery packs. The solar power system provides sustainable energy for the cooling fan and display device.

AI summary
A stroller includes a frame having a shaft, a seat depending from the frame, a base disposed on the frame, and wheels disposed on the base. The shaft of the frame is inserted into the base to allow the frame to rotate relative to the base. In another possible approach, a stroller includes a frame, a seat depending from the frame, a base disposed on the frame, a canopy extending from the seat, and a display device incorporated into the canopy. The display device is viewable from the seat and display entertainment and educational content based on signals received from an app on a mobile device.
