Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the seat and leaning element are fixedly connected, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability for different body types deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidadaptability for different body types

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The floating device is divided into separable components: the floating body and the leaning element are connected through a detachable fastener system consisting of a fixed seat, insertion end, and connector. This segmentation allows the structure to maintain stability when connected while enabling easy separation and reconfiguration for different user needs and body types.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If the seat and leaning element are connected, then the structural integrity is improved, but the ease of storage deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidease of storage

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable fastener system allows the leaning element to be separated from the floating body for storage. When not in use, the leaning element can be removed and stored independently, reducing storage space requirements while maintaining structural integrity during use through the secure connector design.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fastener system enables temporary separation of components for storage purposes. The leaning element can be discarded (removed) from the floating body when not needed, and easily recovered (reattached) when required, providing flexibility in storage and retrieval operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Ease of manufacture

If the leaning element is fixed in position, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the adaptability for different users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidadaptability for different users

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The fastener system transforms the static, fixed connection into a dynamic, adjustable connection. The leaning element can be positioned at different heights and angles by adjusting the insertion end within the fixed seat, allowing the same device to adapt to various user body types and preferences while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Device complexity

If the floating device is designed as a single integrated unit, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of repair and adjustment deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidease of repair and adjustment

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing the floating device into separate components connected by a detachable fastener system, the patent enables easier repair and adjustment. If a component malfunctions or needs replacement, only that specific part needs to be addressed rather than the entire device, while the overall device complexity remains manageable through the use of a simple connector mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A water floating device is provided, which is provided with a floating element and a leaning element, they are detachably connected by a fastener. The fastener includes a fixed seat and an insertion end, the water floating device can be stored without releasing air after use. A height of the leaning element can also be adjusted by the fastener to achieve an effect of adjusting an appropriate height of the seating space for people of different body types. The present application provides multiple solutions for fastening the fastener, which can be connected by a rope body or fastened by a buckle. The axis of the fixed seat and the insertion end are locked; thus, they are both kept in a non-movable and in a rotatable state, which has advantages of quick installation/disassembly, good fastening effect, convenient adjustment, easy storage, and storage without releasing air.
