Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a massage wheel is provided without protective pads, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but hair entanglement occurs during rotation causing safety hazards
Solution Approach 1:
A flexible protective pad is introduced as an intermediary component between the massage wheel and the user's body. The pad covers the circumferential side of the massage wheel and is connected to the support device, preventing direct contact between the rotating wheel and hair, thus eliminating the safety hazard while maintaining device functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The protective pad is made of flexible material that can deform and adapt to the massage wheel's rotation. This flexible shell structure allows the pad to remain in effective contact with the wheel surface during operation, ensuring continuous protection against hair entanglement while accommodating the dynamic motion of the massage wheel
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a flexible protective pad is added to cover the massage wheel, then hair entanglement is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective pad is divided into multiple segments or sections that can independently deform and adapt to the massage wheel's surface. This segmentation allows the pad to maintain effective coverage during rotation without requiring a complex rigid structure, simplifying the overall design while ensuring comprehensive protection
Solution Approach 2:
The protective pad is designed with dynamic characteristics, allowing it to deform and move with the rotating massage wheel. This dynamic design enables the pad to maintain continuous contact with the wheel surface throughout the rotation cycle, effectively preventing hair entanglement without requiring complex mechanical constraints or adjustment mechanisms

AI summary
The present invention provides an electric yoga wheel, comprising a support device, a drive device that is arranged in the support device, and a massage wheel that is rotationally connected to the support device and connected to the drive device. A flexible protective pad, which covers the massage wheel and is connected to the support device, is arranged on a circumferential side of the support device. When using the electric yoga wheel, the flexible protective pad deforms under pressure so that the flexible protective pad is pressed against the massage wheel; during massage, the flexible protective pad can avoid twining hair around the yoga wheel in such a favorable manner as to effectively eliminate the existing hidden danger during massage and make it safer for the user to massage.
