Elastic Element Massager for Adaptive Body Contact
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing massagers for women fail to maintain effective contact with the best parts of the body during massage, leading to reduced comfort and effectiveness, primarily due to the lack of a mechanism that ensures consistent contact and adequate elasticity for comfortable vibration and rotation.
Innovation Solution
A massager design featuring a first massage part connected to an appliance body with a second massage part comprising a support, an elastic element, and a vibrating element, where the elastic element provides the necessary elasticity to maintain contact with the body, allowing for effective vibration and rotation massage, even as the position changes, and includes features like integrated arched structures and rubber sleeves for enhanced comfort and durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the second massage part uses a rigid structure, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot maintain effective contact with the body when the position changes, reducing massage comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by using an elastic element (flat strip) that bends towards the appliance body, forming a flexible connection between the support and the first vibrating element. This flexible structure allows the second massage part to adapt to body contours and maintain effective contact during position changes, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and massage comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the second massage part dynamically adjustable through the elastic element's deformation. The arched structure formed by the bent flat strip allows the first vibrating element to move and adapt to different body positions, enabling the massager to maintain effective contact without complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.
2Ease of operation
If the elastic element is made more flexible to maintain contact, then massage comfort improves, but the structure becomes more complex and harder to manufacture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by integrating the support and elastic element into a unified arched structure. The flat strip is bent to form both the support framework and the elastic connection, merging two functional components into one. This reduces the number of separate parts and simplifies manufacturing while maintaining the flexibility needed for comfortable massage.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic element is designed as a thin flat strip that can be bent into an arched shape, providing flexibility and elasticity without requiring complex mechanisms. This simple yet effective design achieves the desired adaptability while keeping the structure relatively simple and easy to manufacture.
3Reliability
If the first vibrating element is rigidly abutted against the body, then contact is stable, but it causes discomfort and cannot adapt to position changes
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic element acts as a flexible intermediary between the support and the first vibrating element, allowing the vibrating element to maintain contact with the body while adapting to position changes. The flat strip's elasticity provides both stability and adaptability, eliminating the need for rigid abutment.
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic element serves as an intermediary component that mediates between the fixed support structure and the body surface. It transmits vibration while accommodating position changes, providing stable contact without rigid constraint, thus improving both reliability and comfort.
