Swingable body carrier
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing swingable chairs and beds require manual effort to maintain swinging motion, and previous power-driven solutions do not offer adjustable angles or comfortable swing frequencies, leading to user discomfort.
Innovation Solution
A power-driven swingable body carrier with a reciprocating assembly, power assembly, and carrying assembly that allows for adjustable swing angles and comfortable riding poses, featuring a base with connecting portions, swing arms, and a power-driven retractable rod system for controlled swinging and angle adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual swinging is used to maintain the swingable chair in motion, then the user can control the swinging, but it becomes a burden for the user and requires continuous manual effort
Solution Approach 1:
The swingable chair is equipped with a sensor that detects the user's presence and automatically initiates and maintains swinging motion without requiring manual input. The system serves itself by using the detected user information to control the motor-driven swinging mechanism, eliminating the need for continuous manual operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical swinging action is replaced with an automated motor-driven system. The motor receives control signals based on sensor detection and automatically generates the swinging motion, substituting the mechanical manual operation with an automated electromechanical system.
2Loss of energy
If the swingable chair stops swinging for a while, then it conserves energy, but the user must swing it again to resume motion
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors user presence through sensors and automatically maintains or resumes swinging motion when a user is detected, without requiring manual intervention to restart the motion. The system serves itself by detecting user needs and adjusting its operation accordingly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed angle chair back is used in swingable chairs, then the structure is simple, but the user cannot adjust to a relaxed position
Solution Approach 1:
The chair back angle is changed from a fixed static configuration to a dynamic adjustable configuration. The chair back can be tilted to different angles based on user preferences, transforming the rigid structure into an adaptable one that responds to user needs while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.
4Speed
If the swingable chair swings with large amplitude, then the user experiences more motion, but it may cause discomfort if the frequency and margin are not suitable
Solution Approach 1:
The swinging parameters including amplitude, frequency, and speed are made adjustable to optimize comfort. The system can modify these parameters based on detected user preferences or conditions, allowing the swing motion to be customized rather than fixed, thereby improving comfort while maintaining engaging motion.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Provides a comfortable and user-adjustable swinging experience without manual effort, allowing for a range of motion that mimics a cradle-like motion with adjustable angles, enhancing user relaxation.
Implementation Method 1
The power assembly provides a reciprocating power to allow the swingable seat moving reciprocatingly corresponding to the base and to allow the swing arms swinging reciprocatingly
Implementation Method 2
The power assembly provides a reciprocating power to allow the swingable seat moving reciprocatingly corresponding to the base and to allow the swing arms swinging reciprocatingly
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides a swingable body carrier for hanging a swingable seat upon a base through swing arms and pushing the swingable seat to move reciprocatingly by a power assembly. Then, a carrying assembly, which is provided for carrying a body, is disposed upon the swingable seat. When a user sits or lies on the swingable body carrier of the present disclosure, it serves like a cradle to automatically swing so as to provide a good and comfortable user experience.
