Solution Overview

Problem

Existing magnetic health devices with variable magnetic fields have a limited effective range and require frequent position adjustments to effectively act on various body elements, as they typically only rotate around one axis.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic health device that includes a magnet rotating around two orthogonal axes, supported by a mechanism allowing it to be worn like glasses, with a first rotation mechanism for rotation around a primary axis and a second mechanism for rotation around an orthogonal axis, enhancing the coverage of the variable magnetic field.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the magnet rotates around only one axis, then the device structure is simple, but the effective range of the variable magnetic field is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffective range of variable magnetic fieldVSAvoidrotation mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from single-axis rotation to dual-axis rotation of the magnet. The magnet rotates around a first axis (rotation shaft) and simultaneously around a second axis (orthogonal to the first), creating a three-dimensional variable magnetic field that expands the effective range from a limited linear path to a comprehensive radial coverage area.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the magnet rotates around two orthogonal axes, then the variable magnetic field acts on a wider range of body elements, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of body elementsVSAvoiddual rotation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dual-axis rotation mechanism provides multi-functionality by enabling the magnet to simultaneously perform rotation around the first axis and the second orthogonal axis. This universal motion capability allows the device to effectively treat various body elements (head, eyes, brain, ears, nose, face skin) with a single integrated structure, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices or frequent repositioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of time

If the device only rotates around one axis, then the device is easy to operate, but frequent position changes are required to treat different body elements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime for position adjustmentVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The dual-axis rotation mechanism enables continuous and comprehensive coverage of the treatment area without interruption. By rotating around two orthogonal axes simultaneously, the magnet continuously generates variable magnetic fields that sequentially act on all target body elements in a single operational position, eliminating the need for intermittent repositioning and maintaining continuous therapeutic action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
