Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light-based beauty devices struggle to emit light of adequate intensity without overheating the scalp, as simultaneous emission of light and hot air can cause excessive heat, while weakening the light intensity to prevent overheating results in inadequate hair growth effects.
Innovation Solution
A light-based beauty device comprising a light emission unit, a cooling unit, and a controller, where the cooling unit supplies airflow to cool the skin surface during light emission, allowing for high-intensity light irradiation without excessive heat buildup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If light and hot air are emitted to the scalp at the same time, then the light intensity can be adequate for hair growth, but the scalp becomes too hot
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the heating function from the light emission function. Instead of using hot air for hair drying during light irradiation, the system uses ambient temperature air that is blown through the hair while the light emission unit irradiates the scalp, thereby extracting the harmful thermal effect while preserving the beneficial light therapy effect
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces air as an intermediary medium that carries the light emission unit close to the scalp without directly transmitting heat. The air flow serves as a mediator that enables both hair drying and light delivery while preventing excessive heat transfer to the scalp surface
2Temperature
If the intensity of the light emitted by the LED is weakened to prevent the scalp from becoming too hot, then the scalp temperature is controlled, but the light intensity becomes too weak for adequate hair growth effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the heating function from the air drying process, allowing the light emission unit to operate at full intensity without the constraint of heat generation. The system uses unheated air for drying, which removes the thermal limitation and enables adequate light intensity for hair growth therapy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the hair drying and light therapy functions into separate operational modes. The light emission unit operates independently at adequate intensity while the air flow handles drying separately, allowing both functions to optimize their respective parameters without compromising each other
