Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a binding belt with a convex soft hull is used to press muscle strain positions, then muscle fatigue relief is provided, but the therapy effect is unsatisfactory and cannot effectively treat various pathologies
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing head is divided into multiple independent pressing units (first pressing unit, second pressing unit, third pressing unit) that can independently apply pressure to different locations. Each pressing unit can be adjusted separately to target specific muscle groups and pathology locations, enabling effective treatment of various pathologies simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates multiple functional components including magnetic therapy units, pressing units, and adjustable positioning mechanisms in a single device. The pressing head can treat multiple muscle groups (biceps, triceps, quadriceps, etc.) and the device adapts to different body parts through adjustable straps, providing universal applicability across various pathologies
2Force
If the binding belt is tightened to enable the soft hull to press against the position of arm or leg strain, then pressing effect is achieved, but the adjusting range is limited within the length range that velcro may be connected
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing head incorporates an adjustable positioning mechanism with multiple positioning holes arranged in different directions. The pressing head can be positioned at different locations along the strap by selecting different positioning holes, allowing dynamic adjustment to accommodate different arm or leg sizes and shapes beyond the limited velcro connection range
Solution Approach 2:
The device allows adjustment of pressing force through the knob mechanism that controls the pressing unit's position. Additionally, the strap length and positioning can be modified by selecting different positioning holes, effectively changing the geometric parameters to accommodate various body sizes without being constrained by fixed velcro connection points
3Device complexity
If a fixed pressing head design is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate different body sizes and therapy requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The pressing head is segmented into multiple independent pressing units (first, second, and third pressing units) that can be independently adjusted and positioned. Each unit can target different muscle groups, and the modular design allows for flexibility in accommodating different body sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates adjustable components including the positioning mechanism with multiple positioning holes and the knob-controlled pressing units. These dynamic elements allow the fixed basic structure to adapt to different body sizes and therapy requirements without requiring complete redesign for each application
