Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed electrode arrangement is used for cosmetic effects or muscle fatigue relief, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot perform eye treatment or sleep treatment
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode array is divided into multiple independently controllable electrode groups (e.g., upper eyelid, lower eyelid, temple regions) that can be selectively activated. Each electrode group can be controlled independently through separate output channels, allowing the device to perform different treatments (cosmetic, eye, sleep) by activating specific electrode combinations rather than requiring complete reconfiguration of the electrode structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different electrode arrangements are designed for each treatment type, then each treatment can be optimized, but the device complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
A single universal electrode array structure is designed that can serve multiple treatment purposes (cosmetic, eye, sleep treatments). The electrode array includes electrodes positioned at various facial locations (forehead, upper eyelid, lower eyelid, temple areas) that can be selectively activated through different output channels. By controlling which electrodes are activated and how they are connected through different channel linkages, the same physical electrode structure can perform multiple treatment functions without requiring separate electrode arrangements for each treatment type.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electrode channels are used for different treatments, then treatment versatility is improved, but the control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode output channels are designed with dynamic reconfigurable linkages that can change connection patterns based on the selected treatment mode. The control system dynamically adjusts which electrodes are connected to which output channels depending on the treatment being performed. For example, during eye treatment, specific electrodes are linked to form appropriate stimulation patterns, while during sleep treatment, different electrodes are linked differently. This dynamic reconfiguration allows versatile treatment capabilities without requiring permanently complex wiring, as the complexity is managed through software-controlled switching rather than fixed hardware connections.
