Auricular Acupuncture Patch with Detachable Magnetic Stimulator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional auricular acupuncture devices provide indirect stimulation to ear reflex points, which limits their effectiveness in treating various health conditions.
Innovation Solution
An auricular acupuncture patch with a stimulating part for direct physical stimulation and an energy and blood stimulating part for magnetic flux line stimulation, allowing for detachable attachment to ear reflex points and easy replacement of decorative parts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional auricular acupuncture devices are used, then the device structure is simple, but the stimulation effectiveness is limited due to indirect stimulation only
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines direct physical stimulation (through stimulating part 400) and indirect energy/blood stimulation (through energy and blood stimulating part 200 with magnets) into a single auricular acupuncture patch, allowing both stimulation methods to work simultaneously on the ear reflex point for enhanced treatment effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The auricular acupuncture patch is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides direct physical stimulation through the stimulating part, indirect magnetic field stimulation through the energy and blood stimulating part with magnets, and aesthetic function through the decorative part, making it a multi-functional device that addresses both health and beauty needs
2Adaptability or versatility
If decorative parts are fixed in the conventional earring design, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the aesthetic versatility and user convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The earring is divided into separate modular components: a decorative part (100) that can be detached and replaced, and a base structure (attaching part 300 and energy and blood stimulating part 200) that remains fixed. This segmentation allows users to easily exchange decorative parts for different aesthetic preferences without replacing the entire earring
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative part is designed to be dynamically replaceable rather than fixed, allowing the earring configuration to change according to user needs and preferences. The detachable design enables the decorative part to be moved between different base structures or replaced with alternative decorative parts
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 patch achieves direct and enhanced physical stimulation of ear reflex points, improving treatment effectiveness for conditions such as dizziness, headaches, and digestive issues, while also providing aesthetic and convenience benefits through interchangeable decorative parts.
Implementation Method 1
an energy and blood stimulating part (200) coupled to the decorative part (100) to apply stimulation to the reflex point of the ear by means of a magnetic force generated therefrom
