Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a switch mechanism is added to the vibrating makeup tool, then vibration control function is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the switch mechanism with the hinge structure by making the conductive panel part of the hinge component itself. When the wings are folded, the hinge mechanism naturally brings the conductive panels into contact, eliminating the need for a separate switch device while maintaining vibration control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge structure serves dual purposes: it enables the folding motion of the wings and simultaneously functions as the switch mechanism. This multi-functional design allows the same component to perform both mechanical movement and electrical control functions.
2Ease of operation
If a slide type switch is used, then vibration control is achieved, but device complexity increases due to cover requirement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the switch function from a separate component and integrates it into the hinge structure. This eliminates the need for a cover that would be required to protect a traditional slide switch, simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining operational functionality.
3Ease of operation
If a magnetic sensing type switch is used, then contactless operation is achieved, but reliability decreases due to magnet interference
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge structure itself serves as the switch mechanism through its natural mechanical movement. The folding action of the wings automatically activates or deactivates the vibration function through contact between conductive panels, eliminating the need for external magnetic fields or sensors that could be interfered with by magnets.
4Reliability
If the vibrating module is integrated with each makeup tool, then dedicated functionality is improved, but adaptability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the vibrating makeup tool into a separate vibrating module that can be detached and attached to different makeup tool types. This modular design allows the same vibrating module to be compatible with various makeup tools while maintaining dedicated vibrating functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The vibrating module is designed with universal attachment capabilities that allow it to be used with different types of makeup tools. The module can serve multiple tool types while maintaining its dedicated vibrating function, achieving both versatility and specialized performance.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables versatile application across various makeup tools with a simplified switch structure, reducing manufacturing costs and preventing short-circuits while allowing optional vibration control.
Implementation Method 1
the wings of the handle are provided with current carrying panels, so the wings are folded to cause the current carrying panels to contact each other, thus generating vibration
Implementation Method 2
a short-circuit preventing component made of elastic material having electric insulation is provided between both wings of a handle
