Adjustable Hair Clipper Comb with Elastic Locking Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hair clippers with fixed attachment combs limit the range of hair lengths that can be trimmed, and traditional multi-group comb systems are inconvenient for storage and use.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable attachment comb structure for hair clippers, featuring a movable assembly with a sliding slot member and metal elastic piece, allowing for adjustable hair length trimming and secure storage, with an auditory feedback mechanism for user guidance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional multi-group attachment combs are used to trim different hair lengths, then the range of trimmable hair lengths is extended, but the storage and portability become inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment comb is designed with multiple comb elements that can be positioned at different locations along the comb body, allowing a single comb to perform multiple functions of trimming different hair lengths. The comb elements can be adjusted to various positions including extended, retracted, and intermediate positions, enabling one comb to replace multiple traditional combs with different fixed dimensions.
Solution Approach 2:
The comb elements are made movable rather than fixed, allowing dynamic adjustment of the comb structure. The comb elements can slide along the comb body and be locked at different positions, providing adaptability for different hair length requirements while maintaining a compact form factor for portable storage.
2Ease of operation
If the attachment comb is made movable for adjustment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability and stability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The comb elements are pre-configured with specific stopping positions along the comb body, allowing users to quickly select and lock into predetermined positions without complex adjustment procedures. The stopping positions are designed to automatically engage with corresponding features on the comb body, ensuring reliable positioning before use.
Solution Approach 2:
A movable assembly including a sliding slot member and sliding assembly acts as an intermediary mechanism between the comb elements and the comb body. This intermediary structure guides the movement of comb elements, ensures precise positioning, and provides stable engagement during the trimming operation, thereby maintaining reliability while enabling adjustability.
Applied Scientific Principles
