Actuation Module Vibration Compensation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing piercing devices for organic tissue, such as human or animal skin, cause unpleasant vibrations for the user due to the oscillating movement of the piercing unit, which can be uncomfortable during procedures like tattooing or introducing medicinal substances.
Innovation Solution
A device with an actuation module that includes a counter component to compensate for vibrations caused by the oscillating actuating movement, where the counter component moves in the opposite direction to the actuating component, reducing or eliminating vibrations by providing counter forces that balance the vibration impulses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an oscillating actuating movement is used to pierce organic tissue, then the piercing function is achieved, but vibrations are generated that reduce user comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the counterweight principle by introducing a counter component that generates counter forces to compensate for vibrations. The counter component is functionally connected to the actuating device and moves in opposition to the actuating component, creating balancing forces that reduce the net vibration transmitted to the housing and ultimately to the user's hand.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary anti-action by designing the counter component to anticipate and counteract vibrations before they propagate to the housing. The counter component is synchronized with the actuating component's oscillating movement, generating compensating forces in advance to neutralize the harmful vibration effects on the user.
2Ease of operation
If a counter component is added to compensate vibrations, then user comfort is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by integrating the counter component into the existing actuator device structure. The counter component is functionally connected to the actuating device and shares the same housing and control system, allowing vibration compensation to be achieved without adding entirely separate systems, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device significantly reduces or eliminates vibrations, enhancing user comfort during tissue piercing procedures by using a counter component that opposes the oscillating movement, thereby minimizing the transmission of vibration forces to the housing.
Implementation Method 1
the actuating device is designed with a counter component to the actuating component which at least partially compensates vibrations caused in the housing by the oscillating actuating movement of the actuating component

AI summary
The invention relates to a device for piercing an organic tissue, and more particularly to piercing human or animal skin. The device includes a housing, a piercing unit, which is accommodated in the housing, and an actuator device which is arranged and configured in the housing to generate an actuating force in such a way that an actuator component surrounded by the actuator device and functionally connected to the piercing unit, performs an oscillating actuating movement in the housing which is coupled to the piercing unit. The actuating device is designed with a counter component allocated to the actuating component which at least partially compensates for vibrations caused in the housing by the oscillating actuating movement of the actuating component; the counter component oscillates and is moved contrary to the actuating component. The invention also relates to an actuation module for a device for piercing an organic tissue.
