Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional UV curing devices for nail polish are inconvenient to use, particularly for toenails, as they require users to hold the device and often cause fatigue and discomfort due to the need to elevate their feet.

Innovation Solution

A detachable beauty gel curing device with a main body and bottom seat, featuring a grip portion, battery unit, and charging port, allowing users to apply UV light directly to toenails without raising their feet, with magnetic and gasket-based connections for easy detachment and reattachment, and UV LED modules providing adjustable light settings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the curing device is designed as a single integrated unit with the bottom seat, then the device structure is simple and stable, but the user cannot easily hold and use the device for toenail treatment without fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of holding deviceVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The curing device is divided into two separable parts: a main body portion containing the UV LED modules and control circuitry, and a bottom seat providing structural support and charging functionality. The main body can be detached and held by the user's hand via a grip portion, while the bottom seat remains stationary on the table, eliminating the need to hold the entire device during toenail treatment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the battery unit is integrated into the bottom seat, then the device can be charged conveniently, but the user cannot use the device portably for toenail treatment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveportable useVSAvoidpower supply system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply system is segmented with the battery unit located in the main body portion rather than the bottom seat. This allows the main body to function as a portable, battery-powered unit that can be detached and used independently for toenail treatment, while the bottom seat serves as a docking station for charging the battery when not in use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the main body is permanently fixed to the bottom seat, then the device structure is stable, but the user cannot easily detach and hold the main body for convenient use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of detachmentVSAvoiddevice stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between the main body and bottom seat transitions from a fixed, permanent attachment to a dynamic, reversible connection. A detachable mechanism with engaging structures allows the main body to be securely attached during charging and storage, yet easily detached by the user when portable use is needed, providing flexibility in both stable and mobile operational states.
