Angled Laser Module in Reservoir for Hands-Free Ionization Therapy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing laser ionization therapy systems require manual operation or time-consuming positioning, making them inefficient for directing laser light to specific areas of the body during treatments like chiropractic, osteopathic, and acupuncture therapy.
Innovation Solution
A laser ionization therapy system with a laser module attached to a reservoir via a support mechanism, allowing the laser light to be directed to predetermined areas of the body, including the use of angled laser diodes and a disposable liner to prevent bacterial spread, enabling hands-free operation and precise targeting of meridian points.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a handheld laser probe is used to direct laser light to a particular area of the user's body, then the laser can be directed to specific areas, but an operator other than the user being treated is required to hold the laser probe
Solution Approach 1:
The laser module is merged with the reservoir by attaching it to the peripheral wall, combining two separate components into a unified system. This eliminates the need for handheld operation while integrating the positioning function directly into the reservoir structure.
Solution Approach 2:
A support mechanism acts as an intermediary between the laser module and the reservoir, providing the necessary structural connection and positioning capability. This mediator enables hands-free operation while maintaining the ability to direct laser light to specific areas.
2Measurement precision
If the cold laser unit is physically positioned to direct laser light to a particular area of the user's body, then laser light can be directed to specific areas, but this procedure is time consuming and inexact
Solution Approach 1:
The laser module is pre-positioned and attached to the reservoir at a predetermined location before the therapy session begins. This preliminary positioning eliminates the need for time-consuming adjustments during treatment, providing both speed and precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The support mechanism is designed to accommodate the laser module in a universal configuration that can direct light to various meridian points. This multi-functional design allows precise targeting of different areas without requiring repositioning or complex adjustments.
3Productivity
If the laser module is attached to the reservoir at a predetermined location, then laser light can be directed to predetermined areas of the body, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The laser module and reservoir are merged into a single integrated assembly through the support mechanism. This combination improves treatment efficiency by eliminating the need for separate positioning operations while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The attached configuration allows the system to automatically direct laser light to the predetermined location without requiring manual intervention or complex control mechanisms. The structure serves itself by maintaining the correct orientation and position throughout the therapy session.
