Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing neck massage devices are large in size, limit head movement, require complex structures with multiple ultrasonic motors, consume excessive energy, and lack flexibility in adjusting massage positions.
Innovation Solution
A neck massage device with dual arc-shaped rigid clamping plates that are small in size, allow free head movement, use synchronized ultrasonic vibrators to reduce components, and feature detachable massage heads for adjustable positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a front jaw bearing part is added to prevent tight binding on the trachea area, then the safety of the neck massage device is improved, but the overall size of the device increases and head movement is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the front jaw bearing part from the device structure. Instead of adding a protective component, the design extracts the problematic element that caused both safety concerns and size limitations. The arc-shaped rigid clamping plates are designed to naturally avoid the trachea area through their geometric configuration, eliminating the need for additional protective structures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple ultrasonic motors or transducers are provided for each massage head, then the massage coverage is improved, but the device complexity and energy consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple ultrasonic vibration sources into a single ultrasonic vibration module. This single module generates ultrasonic vibrations that are transmitted through the arc-shaped rigid clamping plates to multiple massage heads simultaneously. This combining approach maintains comprehensive massage coverage while dramatically reducing device complexity and energy consumption compared to having individual motors or transducers at each massage head.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the mounting positions of ultrasonic massage heads are fixed, then the structural stability is improved, but the flexibility and adaptability of the device is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements adjustable mounting positions for the ultrasonic massage heads on the arc-shaped rigid clamping plates. The massage heads can be positioned at different locations along the arc structure to accommodate various neck shapes and massage requirements. This dynamic adjustability maintains structural stability through secure mounting mechanisms while providing flexibility and adaptability for different users and applications.
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 provides a compact, energy-efficient, and versatile neck massage solution that can be worn comfortably, adjust to different neck shapes, and meet individual massage needs with synchronized vibration and adjustable head placement.
Implementation Method 1
two ultrasonic vibrators and a plurality of massage heads; a plurality of through holes spaced apart from one another evenly by a same distance are formed on each of the two arc-shaped rigid clamping plates; each of the massage heads is detachably and adjustably mounted in a respective one of the through holes via threaded connection; the two ultrasonic vibrators are mounted on the two arc-shaped rigid clamping plates respectively, and when powered on, each of the two ultrasonic vibrators drives all the massage heads on a corresponding arc-shaped rigid clamping plate synchronously to perform high-frequency vibratory massage
