Battery Pack with Massage Actuator and Power Switch
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery packs for portable electronic devices with massage functions face limitations in power supply and operational flexibility, as they often have limited battery capacitance and are designed primarily for massaging specific body parts, such as palms, without the ability to easily move and massage other areas.
Innovation Solution
A battery pack with a high capacitance and detachable design, featuring a case, battery cells, an electrical connector, a switch, moving bodies, and an electrical actuator assembly, allowing for independent operation to provide both power and massage functions to various body parts by switching the actuator on and off as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If a battery pack with massage function is designed with large capacitance to provide sufficient power for both electronic device operation and massage function, then the power supply capability is improved, but the device size and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a switchable circuit configuration that dynamically changes the battery pack's function. The switch can connect the battery cells to either the electrical connector for power supply mode or to the actuator assembly for massage mode, allowing the same hardware to serve different purposes without requiring separate power systems for each function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the battery pack is designed to provide massage function independently, then the operational versatility is improved, but the complexity of the device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack integrates multiple functions into a single device: it can supply electrical power to electronic devices through the electrical connector, or it can independently provide massage function through the actuator assembly that moves the moving body reciprocally. The switch enables the battery pack to toggle between these two modes, making it a universal device that adapts to different user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the power supply function and massage function into a single integrated battery pack. The case houses both the battery cells for power supply and the actuator assembly with moving body for massage, merging two previously separate functions into one compact device that can operate in either mode depending on the switch position.
3Ease of operation
If the switch is designed to easily toggle between close-circuit-state and open-circuit-state for quick mode switching, then the ease of operation is improved, but the risk of accidental switching increases
Solution Approach 1:
The switch acts as an intermediary control element that mediates between the user's intention and the circuit state. By providing a dedicated switch mechanism with distinct on/off positions, it enables reliable and intentional mode changes while preventing accidental switching through its designed operational characteristics.
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 battery pack effectively supplies power to electronic devices while enabling versatile massage functionality across different body parts without interfering with the device's operation, ensuring efficient energy use and user convenience.
Implementation Method 1
The battery cell is disposed in the accommodation space and is used for supplying electrical power
Implementation Method 2
The electrical actuator assembly is electrically connected to the battery cell through the switch, and obtains the electrical power from the battery cell to generate a driving force when the switch is switched to the close-circuit-state, so as to push the moving body to move reciprocally
