Semi-Automatic Combing Assembly for Push-Button Hair Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional open knot combs require manual hair removal after combing, reducing efficiency due to tangling and accumulation of pet hair.
Innovation Solution
A semi-automatic combing device with a hair-combing member and a hair-pushing member, operated by an operating rod and key, allows for automatic separation of tangled hair by pressing the key, enhancing combing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a conventional open knot comb is used, then the combing function is simple and the structure is simple, but the hair removal requires manual operation and the combing efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The combing device is divided into distinct functional modules: a combing member with combing teeth for hair collection, and a pushing member with pushing teeth for hair removal. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall device simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The pushing member is designed to be movable relative to the combing member through a rotating rod connected to a button. When the button is pressed, the rotating rod drives the pushing member to move and scrape hair from the combing teeth. This dynamic mechanism automates the hair removal process without significantly complicating the device structure.
2Ease of operation
If a conventional open knot comb is used, then the device structure is simple, but the hair tends to tangle around the comb and manual cleaning is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables self-cleaning functionality where the pushing member automatically removes hair from the combing member through a simple button press operation. The mechanical scraping action performed by the pushing teeth against the combing teeth effectively removes tangled hair without requiring manual picking or washing.
Solution Approach 2:
The rotating rod acts as an intermediary mechanism that translates the simple button pressing action into the complex motion required to move the pushing member and scrape hair from the combing teeth. This intermediary component simplifies the user operation while achieving the desired hair removal function.

AI summary
A semi-automatic combing device includes a housing assembly, an operating assembly and a combing assembly. The combing assembly includes a hair-combing member fixed on the housing assembly and a hair-pushing member movably connected to the housing assembly, and the hair-combing member and the hair-pushing member are arranged crosswise; the operating assembly includes an operating key and an operating rod, the operating rod is rotatably connected to the housing assembly, one end of the operating rod is connected to the operating key, the other end of the operating rod is connected to the hair-pushing member. According to the present invention, the other end of the operating rod can press down the hair-pushing member when the operating key is pressed to separate the front end of the hair-pushing member from the hair-combing member, thereby removing hair from the hair-combing member and improving the combing efficiency.
