Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If manual vaginal cleaners are used, then the device structure is simple, but the cleaning coverage is limited and the cleaning effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning coverage areaVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The flushing head is designed to rotate and swing dynamically during operation, transforming from a static manual cleaner to a dynamic automated cleaning device. The rotation mechanism allows the flushing head to cover a wider area (360-degree coverage), directly resolving the contradiction between limited cleaning coverage and device complexity by introducing controlled motion through a motor-driven system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention adds rotational and swinging dimensions to the cleaning action, transitioning from linear manual movement to multi-dimensional automated motion. This enables the flushing head to access areas that would be difficult to reach with simple manual insertion, expanding the effective cleaning area without proportionally increasing structural complexity.

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

2Productivity

If manual cleaning is performed, then the device is simple to manufacture, but the cleaning process is discontinuous and not thorough

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning efficiencyVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The motor-driven rotation and swinging mechanisms enable continuous cleaning action, eliminating the discontinuous nature of manual cleaning. The automatic rotation ensures uninterrupted water flow coverage across the cleaning area, maintaining constant cleaning effectiveness without requiring repeated manual interventions, thus improving productivity while managing device complexity through automated control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The device performs self-driven cleaning operations through its motor and control systems, eliminating the need for continuous manual operation. The automatic rotation and swinging functions allow the device to service itself during the cleaning process, improving cleaning efficiency and thoroughness while reducing the operational burden on the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Area of stationary object

If the flushing head rotates or swings, then the cleaning coverage is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecleaning area coverageVSAvoiddriving assembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The driving assembly is segmented into distinct functional modules: a rotation mechanism for 360-degree coverage and a swinging mechanism for extended reach. This segmentation allows each subsystem to be optimized independently, managing overall device complexity by dividing the motion control into manageable components rather than requiring a single complex mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The driving assembly is designed to perform multiple functions: rotation for comprehensive coverage, swinging for extended reach, and coordinated motion patterns for thorough cleaning. This multi-functionality maximizes the cleaning area coverage achieved per unit of structural complexity, as the same motor and linkage system accomplishes multiple cleaning objectives simultaneously.

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