Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If red light physiotherapy bra uses irradiation holes to emit light, then light can reach the breasts, but light utilization rate decreases and structure becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight utilization rateVSAvoidoverall structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the irradiation holes from the bra structure and extracts the light emission function to a separate wearable light therapy device that can be placed directly on the breasts, eliminating the need for complex hole structures in the bra while improving light utilization efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the light therapy function from the bra structure into a separate wearable device, allowing the bra to maintain its simple structure while the dedicated device provides efficient light therapy treatment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If existing bras lack integrated physiotherapy functionality, then manufacturing remains simple, but physiotherapy effectiveness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephysiotherapy effectivenessVSAvoidbra structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the light therapy device with the bra through wearable integration, merging the physiotherapy functionality with the clothing structure to create a unified system that provides effective treatment while maintaining manufacturing feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional bra system that simultaneously provides clothing support and light therapy treatment, making the bra serve multiple purposes including structural support, light emission, and heat generation for enhanced physiotherapy effectiveness

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

3Productivity

If light emitting surfaces face the transparent flexible lining, then light penetration efficiency improves, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight penetration efficiencyVSAvoidlamp bead arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a transparent flexible lining made of thin film material that allows light to pass through while providing a forgiving substrate for mounting light emitting elements, reducing the precision requirements compared to rigid structures while maintaining high light transmission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameters of the lining material to be transparent and flexible, which allows for easier positioning of light emitting elements and maintains high light penetration efficiency without requiring extremely precise manufacturing tolerances

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
