Squat Rack Barbell Holder with Adjustable Clamping Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing squat rack trolley systems have a fixed connection with the barbell bar, limiting its rotation and restricting users from performing various exercise actions.
Innovation Solution
A device with two sliding mounting seats and first sliding shafts arranged on either side of the squat rack, featuring a fixing mechanism with a clamping seat and adjusting mechanism that includes U-shaped clipping seats, threaded rods, and pin holes, allowing the barbell bar to rotate smoothly and accommodate different dimensions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the connection between the barbell bar and the trolley system is fixed, then the structural stability is improved, but the barbell bar cannot rotate smoothly and exercise versatility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed connection into a dynamic adjustable connection. The trolley system incorporates a barbell holder with a clamping mechanism that can adaptively adjust to different barbell diameters and enable rotation. The connection allows the barbell to rotate during exercise while maintaining stability, and can be quickly adjusted or removed for different exercise modes, thus resolving the contradiction between structural stability and exercise versatility.
2Device complexity
If the trolley system uses a fixed connection mode, then the device complexity is reduced, but the barbell bar cannot be rotated and more exercise actions cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the universality principle by designing a multi-functional trolley system that can perform multiple exercise actions. The barbell holder is equipped with a universal clamping mechanism that can accommodate different barbell sizes and enable various exercise modes including squats, presses, and rotational exercises. This single device structure replaces the need for multiple specialized attachments, achieving exercise action variety without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If the connection between the barbell bar and trolley system is fixed, then the manufacturing precision requirements are reduced, but the user experience and exercise effectiveness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the parameter changes principle by incorporating adjustable parameters in the connection mechanism. The barbell holder features an adjustable clamping force mechanism that can adapt to different barbell diameters and user preferences. The connection allows for parameter adjustment during operation, enabling users to optimize the fit and rotation smoothness for different exercise requirements, thereby enhancing user experience without requiring extremely high manufacturing precision for all possible configurations.
