Segmented Trampoline Safety Net Support to Prevent Edge Collapse
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Trampoline safety nets experience edge collapse due to inadequate fixation and weak bearing capacity, leading to reduced protective performance and complexity in assembly and disassembly.
Innovation Solution
A support structure for trampoline safety nets featuring vertically arranged fence poles with connecting strips and pieces that form an annular structure, utilizing various connection methods such as limiting spring pieces, clamping grooves, and through holes to secure the safety net edges, ensuring stability and ease of assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a hard ring connection structure is used to prevent edge collapse, then the safety net edge stability is improved, but the assembly complexity and mounting difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The hard ring connection structure is segmented into multiple fence poles (6 poles for hexagonal trampoline) that are vertically arranged and independently mounted on the trampoline main body. Each fence pole is connected to adjacent poles through connecting pieces, dividing the complex ring structure into manageable modular segments that are easier to assemble and disassemble while maintaining overall structural stability.
2Weight of moving object
If the safety net material is made soft, thin and light, then the comfort and flexibility are improved, but the bearing capacity and resistance to external tearing force decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure uses a composite system combining soft safety net material with rigid fence poles and connecting pieces. The fence poles provide structural strength and bearing capacity to resist external tearing forces, while the soft safety net material maintains comfort and flexibility. This composite approach allows the safety net to be both lightweight and strong.
3Reliability
If the fence poles and hard ring connection structure are used, then the protective performance is improved, but the ease of operation and storage convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting pieces are designed with dynamic connection mechanisms that allow for easy assembly and disassembly. The connecting strips can be inserted and fixed to the fence poles through openings or through holes, enabling quick mounting and demounting operations. This dynamic connection system maintains reliable protective performance while significantly improving ease of operation and storage convenience.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a support structure for a trampoline safety net, including: a plurality of fence poles mounted upwards on edges of a trampoline main body; a plurality of connecting strips, capable of penetrating through the fence poles along a length direction perpendicular to the fence poles; and a connecting piece, fixedly connecting adjacent two of the connecting strips. The structure is simple and convenient to mount, and edges of the safety net will not collapse.
