Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing weight-bearing bracelets suffer from unstable and cumbersome connection structures, such as Velcro, which are prone to detachment during exercise and have a short service life.
Innovation Solution
A weight-bearing bracelet with a first and second docking mechanism, each comprising a docking groove and a locking assembly with a locking member and resilient member, featuring a limiting portion and guiding bevel to ensure stable and rapid connection, and an articulation shaft for adjustable shape and angle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a Velcro structure is used for connection, then rapid disassembly is achieved, but stability and service life deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the Velcro mechanical fastening system with a magnetic field-based connection system. The magnetic attraction force provides stable connection without the need for friction-based Velcro straps, while still allowing rapid attachment and detachment. This substitution resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of operation through magnetic attraction while significantly improving connection stability and service life.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the connection parameter from friction-based mechanical interlocking (Velcro) to field-based magnetic attraction. By adjusting magnetic field strength and distribution, the system achieves both rapid connection/disconnection and high stability, resolving the trade-off between ease of operation and reliability.
2Ease of operation
If a Velcro structure is used for connection, then rapid disassembly is achieved, but service life deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the wear-prone Velcro mechanical system with a magnetic field-based system that has no moving parts or friction surfaces. This substitution eliminates the wear mechanisms that limit Velcro service life while maintaining rapid attachment and detachment capabilities, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and service life.
3Device complexity
If a traditional connection structure is used, then simplicity is maintained, but stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical connection structures with a magnetic field-based system. The magnetic connection mechanism, while introducing new components like magnetic elements and control circuits, provides superior stability through controllable magnetic attraction forces. The system maintains relative simplicity through modular design and intuitive operation, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and connection stability.
