Blowout With Segmented Wire And Flow Regulator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional blowouts lack the ability to precisely adjust the exhaling force required for stretching a stretchable body, making it difficult to set a suitable force for various purposes such as health promotion, medical treatment, and cosmetic treatment, as the elastic force of the spring is not easily fine-tuned to match user conditions.
Innovation Solution
A blowout design featuring a stretchable body with a wire body providing a predetermined elastic force and a flow-rate regulating means, ensuring the stretchable body is only stretched when the exhaled air pressure meets a predetermined value, allowing for precise adjustment of the required exhaling force through the combination of elastic force and air flow regulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the elastic force of the spring is changed to vary the required exhaling force, then the required exhaling force can be adjusted for different purposes, but it is difficult to finely adjust the required exhaling force to a specified value
Solution Approach 1:
The spring is divided into multiple sections with different elastic forces. By selectively activating or deactivating specific sections, the system can achieve fine adjustment of the required exhaling force in discrete steps, solving the problem of inability to precisely adjust the force to a specified value while maintaining adaptability for different purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a fixed elastic force spring to a dynamically adjustable spring configuration. The spring sections can be reconfigured or selectively engaged based on the desired exhaling force level, enabling the system to adapt to different therapeutic requirements with precise force control.
2Force
If the elastic force of the spring is increased to provide higher required exhaling force, then the blowout can be used for purposes requiring stronger blowing force, but the stretchable body becomes difficult to stretch for users with weaker oral function
Solution Approach 1:
The spring is segmented into multiple sections with progressively increasing elastic forces. Users with weaker oral function can engage only the softer initial sections, while users needing stronger resistance can activate additional sections. This segmentation allows the same device to accommodate a wide range of user capabilities without compromising ease of operation for any individual user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the elastic force parameter of the spring by reconfiguring or selectively engaging different spring sections. This allows the required exhaling force to be adjusted to match the user's oral function capacity, ensuring the stretchable body remains easy to stretch for each user while providing the necessary force variation for different therapeutic purposes.
3Device complexity
If a single spring configuration is used, then the device structure remains simple, but the required exhaling force cannot be precisely set for different user conditions and purposes
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a single uniform spring, the invention employs multiple spring sections that can be individually configured or selectively engaged. This segmentation allows precise control over the required exhaling force for different user conditions while maintaining a modular structure that does not significantly increase overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The segmented spring design provides multi-functionality, allowing the same spring assembly to serve multiple purposes and accommodate different user conditions. By selectively engaging different sections, a single device configuration can replace multiple specialized springs, actually reducing overall complexity while achieving precise force specification.

Function Achieved in This Case
This design enables precise setting of the required exhaling force, ensuring the stretchable body is stretched only when the appropriate force is applied, thereby accommodating different purposes and user conditions effectively.
Implementation Method 1

AI summary
A blowout in which the required exhaling force of for stretching thereof may be precisely set to a suitable level. The blowout may include: a stretchable body having a generally tubular shape; a wire body having elasticity and arranged along the longitudinal direction of the stretchable body; and a mouthpiece connected to an end of the stretchable body. In use, the mouthpiece may be held in the mouth such that air is blown therethrough, whereby the stretchable body is stretched. The stretchable body remains curled into a spiral shape by the wire body when air is not blown thereinto. The elastic force of the wire body may be set to a predetermined value, the mouthpiece may include an air regulator for regulating the quantity of airflow, and the stretchable body may not stretch unless the force of air blown is equal to or more than a predetermined value.
