The Design

About Elephant Weight Palaso ng Elepante

Ang Palaso ng Elepante ay isang laruang para sa maagang edukasyon sa matematika, para sa mga batang higit sa tatlong taong gulang. Ang disenyo ay hango sa tradisyonal na kwentong Tsino na Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant, kung saan ginagamit ang pantay na pagpapalit upang sukatin ang isang malaking bagay gamit ang maraming maliliit na bagay. Bawat maliit na palaso ng elepante ay may markang timbang, mula 5 gramo hanggang 100 gramo. Ilalagay ang isang bagay sa bangka, markahan ang antas ng paglubog nito, at magdagdag ng mga palaso hanggang sa bumalik ang katawan ng bangka sa dating antas. Idinaragdag ng mga bata ang mga markadong halaga upang matuto tungkol sa timbang at mga numero.

Unique Properties: This is a math early education toy for children over 3 years old. It is developed from the "equivalent replacement" in the story of " Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant ". Each small elephant weight is marked with 5g, 10g, 20g, 30g, 40g, 50g and 100g according to the weight. Weigh according to the hull sinking,children can clearly feel the weight of different scales and enhance the sensitivity to weight and numbers, to strengthen children's careful observation of small objects around them.
Dimensions & Packaging: Wave body: 270 mm long × Width 150 mm × 130 mm high;
Hull: 254 mm long × 134 mm wide × Height 91 mm;
Flag pole: 10mm in diameter and 155mm in length;
Flag: 52 mm long × Height 36 mm
Tags: early education, toys, children, mathematics
Production Technology: CNC processing, painting, manual glue dropping
Design Challenge: 1. Spring size: Different sizes of springs have different support forces
2. Weights - Elephant: Mold making
Research: 1.Regarding the research on the progress of elementary school mathematics, generally speaking, starting from the third grade of primary school, the unit of mass learning is grams, kilograms, and tons.
2.Compression spring:
According to the force properties, springs can be divided into tension springs, compression springs, torsion springs, and bending springs. We choose a compression spring, which has a certain gap between the coils. When subjected to external loads, the spring contracts and deforms, storing deformation energy.
Inspiration: The traditional Chinese story "Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant" tells that Cao Chong used the method of "equal replacement" to replace the elephant with many stones, and made marks on the boat to make the elephant and the stone have the same effect. According to the weight of the stone, the weight of the elephant can be obtained. Solve this problem by transforming "big" into "small". We combine the " Equivalent Substitution " in the story with children's toys.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 and ended in March 2023 at Shanghai
Operation Flow: Step 1) Put any items you want to weigh；Step 2) Mark the sinking position of the ship with the anchor；Step 3) put in the elephant weights to make the hull return to the anchor position；Step 4) Calculate the weight of the object with the elephant weights.
