Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If heating wire is set in the main body of electric socks, then heating effect is achieved, but friction damage and discomfort occur during long wear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating effectVSAvoidwear resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the sock structure into two separate layers: an inner sock and an outer sock. The heating wire is placed in the inner sock while the outer sock provides protection. This segmentation allows the heating function to be separated from the wear-resistant function, resolving the contradiction between achieving heating effect and maintaining wear resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The inner sock acts as an intermediary layer between the heating wire and the outer sock. It protects the heating wire from direct friction with the outer sock while still allowing heat transfer, thus serving as a mediator that resolves the conflict between heating efficiency and wear protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If heating wire is embedded in electric socks, then heating function is realized, but the socks become uncomfortable due to friction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheating functionVSAvoidcomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the sock into inner and outer layers with the heating wire embedded only in the inner layer, the patent eliminates the discomfort caused by friction between the heating wire and the outer sock material, while preserving the heating function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The inner sock acts as a flexible protective shell that encases the heating wire, providing a soft barrier that reduces friction and improves comfort while allowing the heating function to operate effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Temperature

If traditional electric socks are worn, then warming effect is achieved, but they are prone to damage from wear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewarming effectVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The dual-layer structure separates the heating component (inner sock) from the protective component (outer sock), allowing the outer sock to bear the brunt of wear and tear while the inner sock with the heating wire is protected, thereby extending the overall service life of the electric socks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The outer sock serves as a pre-established protective layer that cushions and protects the heating wire in the inner sock from damage during wear, extending the durability and service life of the heating function.

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