Adjustable Foot Spa Chair With Rotating Tilt-Slide Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Many spa devices on the market lack adjustable chairs, leading to decreased comfort for users during treatments.
Innovation Solution
A spa device with an adjustable chair that is rotatably, slidably, and tiltably coupled to a frame, equipped with tactile immersion sound delivery devices and a control system that includes motors and user interfaces for customizable positioning and therapy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a non-adjustable chair is used in spa devices, then the device structure is simple, but user comfort is decreased
Solution Approach 1:
The chair is transformed from a static, non-adjustable structure to a dynamic, multi-position adjustable structure. Motors are integrated into the chair mechanism to enable automatic adjustment of seat position, backrest angle, and footrest elevation, allowing the chair to adapt to different user preferences and treatment requirements while maintaining structural integration with the spa device frame
2Adaptability or versatility
If an adjustable chair with multiple motion capabilities is added, then user comfort and flexibility are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The chair is designed as a multi-functional unit that integrates multiple motion capabilities (rotation, sliding, tilting) into a single structure. A centralized control system with multiple motors coordinates these different motion functions, allowing one chair assembly to perform various positioning tasks and adapt to different treatment scenarios without requiring separate mechanisms for each function
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple chair adjustment functions are merged into an integrated system where the seat, backrest, and footrest are connected through a unified motion mechanism. The control system combines multiple motors and sensors into a single control unit that coordinates all adjustments, reducing the overall system complexity compared to having separate independent mechanisms for each adjustment function
