Solution Overview

Problem

Existing facial cleansing brushes with multiple vibration motors are costly and inefficient in removing dirt from the skin and pores, while hairbrush techniques that eliminate vibration in the direction of brush bristles are not effective for facial cleansing.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic device with a single vibration motor equipped with an eccentric shaft and a displaceable motor holding portion, which transmits complex vibrations to the brush attachment portion extending in a direction different from the axial direction, allowing for efficient dirt removal from the skin and pores.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple vibration motors are used to generate complex vibration, then the vibration effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration effectivenessVSAvoidnumber of vibration motors
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single vibration motor is segmented into multiple functional components: the motor housing, the rotary shaft, the偏心 weight, and the brush attachment portion. Each component performs a specific function in generating and transmitting complex vibration, allowing one motor to replace multiple motors while maintaining vibration effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The brush attachment portion extends in a direction different from the axial direction of the rotary shaft, creating a spatial relationship that enables complex vibration patterns. This dimensional arrangement allows the single motor to generate multi-directional vibration effects that would normally require multiple motors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the brush attachment portion extends in the axial direction of the rotary shaft, then the structure is simplified, but the complex vibration needed for pore cleaning is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepore cleaning effectivenessVSAvoidbrush attachment configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The brush attachment portion is positioned to extend in a direction different from the axial direction of the rotary shaft, creating a non-collinear spatial relationship. This dimensional configuration enables the transmission of complex vibration patterns that combine axial and radial components, which are essential for effective pore cleaning while maintaining a relatively simple single-motor structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If the motor holding portion is strongly restrained by the main body portion, then the structural stability is improved, but the vibration transmission efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration transmission efficiencyVSAvoidmotor holding stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling portion is designed to provide a dynamic connection between the motor holding portion and the main body portion. This dynamic coupling allows the motor holding portion to move relative to the main body portion during operation, optimizing vibration transmission while maintaining structural stability through controlled flexibility rather than rigid restraint.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
