Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for enhancing human healing capacity, such as air baths, do not effectively provide a stimulus for natural recovery of abnormal body tissues and organs to healthy states, lacking a systematic approach for decompression and pressure control.

Innovation Solution

A human healing ability enhancing apparatus with an airtight chamber, decompression pump, and over-decompression prevention device, which sequentially and repeatedly controls air pressure to a decompression state and a wide-range normal pressure state to stimulate natural healing, using a decompression control means to manage pressure changes and prevent oxygen deficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If air pressure is continuously maintained at normal pressure, then stability of the air bath environment is improved, but the healing stimulus effect is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveair pressure stabilityVSAvoidhealing effect reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by cyclically changing air pressure between normal pressure and decompression states. The control unit repeatedly switches the air pressure in the airtight chamber between these two states, creating periodic pressure variations that stimulate blood circulation and enhance healing effects while maintaining overall system stability through controlled transitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Reliability

If air pressure is rapidly changed to provide strong healing stimulus, then healing effect is improved, but risk of over-decompression and safety issues increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealing effect reliabilityVSAvoidover-decompression risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback control through a control unit that monitors air pressure conditions and automatically adjusts the decompression pump operation. When the air pressure reaches the decompression threshold or normal pressure threshold, the control unit automatically stops or starts the pump, providing feedback-based regulation that prevents over-decompression while maintaining effective healing stimulus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by setting predetermined pressure thresholds (decompression threshold and normal pressure threshold) before operation begins. These pre-established thresholds act as safety cushions that prevent the air pressure from exceeding safe limits during decompression or pressurization cycles, reducing the risk of over-decompression before it can occur.

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

3Reliability

If decompression pump operates continuously to maintain decompression state, then healing stimulus is maintained, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealing stimulus continuityVSAvoiddecompression pump energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by operating the decompression pump intermittently rather than continuously. The pump operates only during transitions between normal pressure and decompression states, remaining idle during the maintenance phases. This periodic operation maintains healing stimulus continuity through cyclic pressure changes while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to continuous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
