Universal Mounting Base for Multi-Accessory Child Containment Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing child containment devices face issues with bulky and costly designs due to multiple mounting bases for carrier accessories, which complicate storage and installation, and hinder the use of storage baskets attached to the handrail.
Innovation Solution
A child containment device design featuring a containment body with lower-located connecting members that allow storage baskets to be positioned outside the containment body, avoiding interference with carrier accessories, and a mounting base that can connect to multiple carrier accessories simultaneously, reducing the number of required mounting bases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the storage basket is attached to the top edge of the child containment device, then storage functionality is provided, but it hinders the installation of carrier accessories
Solution Approach 1:
The storage basket is repositioned from the top edge to the side face of the containment device, changing the spatial dimension of attachment. This dimensional shift allows the storage basket and carrier accessories to occupy different spatial zones, eliminating interference between them while maintaining both storage and accessory installation functionalities
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple mounting bases are used for carrier accessories, then each accessory can be installed, but the product becomes bulky and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting base is designed with multiple connecting parts that enable it to connect to multiple carrier accessories simultaneously. This universal design allows a single mounting base to serve multiple functions, supporting various accessories like changing tables, sleeping baskets, and storage baskets without requiring separate mounting bases for each, thereby reducing overall device complexity and cost
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple connecting parts are integrated into a single mounting base structure, combining what would traditionally be separate mounting components into one unified device. This merging reduces the total number of parts, simplifies the overall structure, and lowers costs while maintaining the ability to support multiple accessories
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple mounting bases are used for carrier accessories, then each accessory can be installed, but storage and installation become complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The universal mounting base with multiple connecting parts allows users to install and store various carrier accessories using the same base structure. This universality simplifies storage (all accessories attach to the same type of base) and installation (consistent attachment mechanism), making the system easier to operate despite supporting multiple accessory types
