Trampoline Enclosure Net Pole with Extendable Impact Buffering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current trampoline enclosure nets lack elasticity, failing to effectively buffer the impact of users and provide adequate safety due to stationary connection assemblies.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates extendable enclosure net poles with a hanging hook connected through an extendable piece, allowing the enclosure net to expand and contract, reducing user impact and enhancing safety and comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a stationary connection assembly is used to attach the enclosure net to the pole, then the structure is simple and stable, but the enclosure net lacks elasticity and cannot buffer user impact
Solution Approach 1:
The connection assembly is transformed from a stationary structure to a dynamic one by incorporating an extendable piece that allows movement between extended and retracted states. This enables the enclosure net to expand and contract, providing elasticity while maintaining structural integrity and safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The extendable piece changes the physical parameters of the connection assembly by altering its length. When extended, it increases the distance between the pole and enclosure net; when retracted, it reduces this distance. This parameter change enables the system to buffer impact forces while maintaining stability.
2Reliability
If an extendable piece is added to the connection assembly to provide elasticity, then the enclosure net can buffer impact, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The extendable piece acts as an intermediary element between the stationary pole and the enclosure net. It mediates the interaction by absorbing and dissipating impact forces, allowing the rigid pole to connect to the flexible net without direct rigid contact, thus simplifying the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection assembly is segmented into distinct functional components: the stationary pole body, the extendable piece, and the hanging hook. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while maintaining overall system simplicity and ease of assembly.
