Structure for children bounce chair
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bounce chairs pose safety hazards due to exposed springs and are inconvenient to disassemble and store, as many components cannot be easily taken apart or stowed, occupying excessive space.
Innovation Solution
The improved structure for a children's bounce chair includes a base assembly with stabilizing rods, telescopic support assemblies with extension rods and Y-shaped hanger rods, and bounce assemblies with telescopic units containing extension springs, allowing for adjustable height and easy disassembly for storage, while ensuring safety through housing and sliding rails that guide the webbings and springs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional bounce chairs use exposed springs to generate bouncing action, then the bouncing function is achieved, but safety hazards are created for toddlers or children
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful spring component is extracted from its exposed position and relocated inside the telescopic support assembly. The spring is now housed within the telescopic unit, separating the functional element (bouncing) from the hazardous element (exposed spring), thereby eliminating safety hazards while preserving the bouncing function.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring is nested inside the telescopic support assembly structure. The telescopic unit contains the spring within its hollow cylindrical body, creating a nested configuration where the spring is protected by the surrounding structural elements, eliminating exposure hazards.
2Ease of operation
If conventional bounce chairs have fixed components that cannot be disassembled, then structural stability is maintained, but storage convenience deteriorates and space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bounce chair is divided into separable modules: base assembly, telescopic support assemblies, bounce assemblies, and table and chair assembly. Each module can be independently disassembled and stored, transforming a monolithic structure into modular components that occupy less storage space and are easier to handle.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic support assemblies incorporate telescopic mechanisms with locators and locating holes that enable dynamic adjustment between extended (for use) and retracted (for storage) states. This dynamic structure allows the same component to serve different functional requirements.
