Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional chip units used with close-fitting accessories cause discomfort due to concentrated weight distribution, leading to foreign body sensations and potential damage, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan.

Innovation Solution

A chip pad decompression structure comprising a pad, protective ring, and upper lid, where the protective ring disperses force between the pad and chip, enhancing cushioning and protecting the chip.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the chip unit is used with a close-fitting accessory, then the chip unit can emit far-infrared rays to the user's body, but the weight of the user will be concentrated on the chip, causing foreign body sensation and discomfort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechip protectionVSAvoidforeign body sensation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention introduces a protective ring structure that segments the force transmission path between the pad and the chip. The protective ring divides the concentrated weight into distributed pressure points, preventing direct transmission of user weight to the chip while maintaining the close-fitting accessory's functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The protective ring acts as an intermediary element between the pad and the chip. It mediates the force transmission by absorbing and distributing the user's weight, thereby protecting the chip from direct compression while allowing the close-fitting accessory to remain in contact with the user's body for far-infrared emission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the chip unit is used with a close-fitting accessory, then the chip unit can emit far-infrared rays to the user's body, but the concentrated weight will cause deformation or damage to the chip unit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechip protectionVSAvoidchip unit structural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The protective ring is installed beforehand between the pad and the chip to provide preventive cushioning. It absorbs the user's weight before it can reach the chip, preventing deformation or damage to the chip unit's structural integrity while maintaining the far-infrared emission function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Reliability

If the chip unit is used with a close-fitting accessory, then the chip unit can emit far-infrared rays to the user's body, but the concentrated weight will reduce the effect of the product

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechip protectionVSAvoidproduct effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The protective ring is strategically positioned at the local area where weight concentration occurs between the pad and the chip. It provides localized force distribution only where needed, maintaining the overall product effectiveness for far-infrared emission while protecting the chip from damage that would reduce product effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A chip pad decompression structure includes a pad, a protective ring, a chip, and an upper lid. A middle of one side of the pad has a raised portion. Another side of the pad has a recess. The protective ring is disposed in the recess of the pad. The protective ring has a through hole. The chip is disposed in the through hole of the protective ring and located in the recess of the pad. The upper lid is configured to cover the protective ring and the chip. The protective ring is disposed between the pad and the chip, which can disperse the force, improve a force-cushioning effect and protect the chip, so as to reduce a foreign body sensation and prolong the service life of the chip.
