Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional strollers with a single basket pose hygiene issues due to cross-contamination of baby necessities and food items, and are inconvenient for organizing multiple items.

Innovation Solution

A stroller with multiple storage compartments, featuring a connecting component that partitions the storage basket into separate chambers, allowing for the segregation of baby products and food items, and includes mechanisms for easy assembly and integration of compartments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a single basket is used in the stroller, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but cross-contamination occurs between baby necessities and food items, compromising hygiene

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidcross-contamination

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The storage basket is divided into multiple independent storage chambers using partition boards. Each chamber can store different types of items (baby necessities, food, etc.) separately, preventing cross-contamination while maintaining overall structural integrity and simplicity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If a single basket is used in the stroller, then the device complexity is low, but organizing and finding different items becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestorage structure complexityVSAvoiditem organization and retrieval

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The basket is segmented into multiple storage chambers with partition boards, creating distinct zones for different item categories. This segmentation organizes items systematically, making it easier to locate and retrieve specific items without sifting through a single large space

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different storage chambers can be designed with different characteristics (size, position, accessibility) suited to the specific items they contain. For example, frequently used items can be placed in easily accessible chambers, while less frequently used items can be in smaller or less accessible chambers

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Object-affected harmful factors

If multiple storage chambers are created, then hygiene is improved by preventing cross-contamination, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecross-contamination preventionVSAvoidstorage basket structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The partition boards create multiple storage chambers using simple flat panels that divide the basket space. This segmentation approach achieves hygiene separation through straightforward geometric divisions rather than complex mechanical or chemical systems

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The partition boards serve multiple functions: they create storage chamber separations for hygiene, provide structural support for the basket, and can potentially be adjusted or reconfigured. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A stroller includes a stroller frame including a connecting component, and a storage basket installed under the stroller frame. The storage basket includes at least one connecting piece connected to the connecting component so as to partition the storage basket into at least two storage chambers. The stroller has multiple storage compartments, and different types of objects can be placed in different storage chambers, so as to improve sanitation and convenience of use.
